Well I finally got my CJ7 out on the trails this past weekend after installing new gears (4.10) and a rear OX locker. And, as I was driving through the mountains in Colorado my jeep started backfiring like crazy and running pretty rough, I looked at the temp gauge and it wasn't too hot (about 1/2-3/4) but I pulled over to check it out. I let it cool down and checked all the fluids and everything else I could think of but it was all fine, I opened the gas cap and the tank was so pressurized that it started spewing gas all over. This same thing happend to me twice more over the weekend, but if I let it cool down 5-10 minutes it would run perfect.
I was planning on flushing and filling my radiator (using some of that additive that says it makes it run cooler) , replacing my thermostat, replacing my stock fan with a fex fan, and maybe running an electric fan as well.
Any other ideas, or am I missing something? Any help would be greatly appreciated.
