Well, just about 90,000 on the KJ. Planning on doing somewhat of a "overhaul" on it in the next week. Just wondering what you all might also recommend. Any more ideas? So far i have planned: Oil change wth 5w30 Amsoil & w/ Amsoil filter. Rear diff oil change w/ Lubelocker & Amsoil Front diff oil change w/ Amsoil (pulling cover as it's leaking) Transfer lube changw w/ Amsoil Tranny (not planning as it was changed around 80K) Amsoil air filter change Lube UCA, rear LCA and redo sway bar zerks, replace w/ Amsil synth grease Change out PCV valve Extend breathers Replace Rack bushings Replace out tie rod ends (hopefully with Moogs) Replace rear drum brake shoes Repaint/ reinstall skids and RL rear bumper. Relocate water washer bottle Add Quickfist clamps to inner tailgate for axe shovel mounts. (already have them for maglight on driver seat lol) -Also thinking of: radiator flush/ refill with HOAT (that's the correct one??) pulling front wheel well liner and undercoating it. changing fuel filter (i run the tank to E pretty often) I think I'll be able to do most of it in a three day weekend. So what do y'all think. Any other ideas? Thanks, Mike |

For the antifreeze, use Zerex G-05, the gold bottle. I found it at AutoZone. Have you change the power steering fluid recently? Bleed brakes? Serpentine Belt? Look into a product called Seafoam to clean out your fuel system/engine. |

Jeepkj02, good ideas, I'll check out the seafoam threads again. I was just looking at the serpentine belt thread, will add that to my list too. I will bleed brakes again when I change rear shoes. |

Ok so some research, I am looking at doing the colonic, err Seafoam for the overhaul too. Seems like a lot of pros verse only one con (hydrolocking the engine). Seems like there has been plenty of people that have done it with out any bad reviews. Just to verify, 1/2 can into the gas tank. Does it matter if it's full or low? Need gas soon anyway. The other half is where I have the question. Should I put it directly into the throttle body or pull the hose an slowly suck it up out of a container? I also read about putting it in directly with the oil and letting it run for a few hundred miles. Any thoughts on that? As I said previously, I am changing oil and plugs next weekend. Thanks again for the input. Maybe I should document it for a how to. Hey Kevin wanna come help? lol later, mike |

What I did was SLOWLY feed it into the TB. If you go too fast you will hydrolock the engine. If you want to do it into the brake booster/vacuum, there is a how-to I found: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ef3HNvxblxQ Use the bigger hose coming out of the master cylinder. Use about 1/2 can. After your done, what 10-15 minutes and start the engine. For the crankcase (oil), pour about 1/2-1/3 of the can into the oil fill tube and drive for 200 miles and then change oil/spark plugs) For the gas tank: Full tank, use 1 whole can. 1/2 tank use 1/2 can. Simply pour it into the gas tank. You're going to need more than one can for all three treatments. Also there will be A LOT of smoke coming out of your tailpipe when your done, but I'm sure you already knew that. http://www.seafoamsales.com/motorTuneUpTechGas.htm |
