Just wanted to pass along that everything is A#1 OK and I'm having no problems with the KJ at all...

with that being said are there any bets as to what will fail first... :D

How many miles ya got?

I'm willing to bet you engine oil will go first due to thermal breakdown. I predict it will need to be replaced in less than 3,000 miles.

My gas gauge was the 1st thing to fail. It was reading empty after the first 200 and some miles. I thought it would last longer.

If you don't listened to JJsKJ. Then listen to this old man I have been an AMSOIL dealer since 1976 not to sell synthetic oil just so I had it available for all my rides.
1970 Buick GS
1973 Chevy Vega "hot rodded engine"
1970 Pontiac Ventura
1974 1/2 260Z 2+2
1973 Chevy Nova
1980 Toyota Celica
1986 Toyota Pickup 4x4
1995 Dodge Dakota 5.2L 4x4
2002 Jeep Liberty Sport
As I said I didn't become an AMSOIL dealer to make money, I did so all my rides were taken care of.
I try not to put down Mobile 1 or Royal Purple, but research Amsoil it was around long before these other companys knew what lube ment.

LEAD :D FOLLOW :P or GET OUTTA THE WAY :shock: :twisted: 8) :-)r :-)r :-)r

I don't see the big hubub about synthetic. I run 10w30 in the summer (regular ol' valvoline) and 5w30 in the winter (ditto)

They didn't switch to 5w20 until '05 or 06, but what I find odd about that is the 05+ Grand Cherokee and Commander 3.7s take 5w30...what gives?
