30k Maintenance?

Haha, this is great. Good ol internet battle.

Woah, for that price I would have to ask for all the old parts back of what was supposedly replaced (spark plugs, filters, rotor/cap, belts).

You can certainly state before the work is done that you wnat to see the old parts before they are thrown out.I keep all the old parts(plugs,wires,and all that) and put in the ticket no matter what(asked or not) so the customer knows that the stuff was actually changed.I get yelled at all the time at work over that since it gets oil and grease all over the ticket but I don't give a s$%t and still do it.

Did any of you know the human head weighs 8 pounds?

 

[JeepJeepster]

Hmm, I figured it would weigh more than that. If you lean back in a chair with your head hanging over the back its hard to pull it up. Maybe my brain is bigger?

The feedback here is fantastic. Also is this link current and accurate regarding the oils types to use on the KJ?

Also any recommendations on spark plugs?

Sorry lack of maintenance will always result in a bad running(or not running) vehicle 99.99% of the time after 100,000miles.Most vehicles will run okay up to about 100,000miles with little to no maintenance but ussually end up being towed in,seen it happen all to often from owners saying I didn't know I was supposed to have that changed. Been turning wrenches for almost a 20 years,ASE Master Tech(mulitple GM and Chrysler certifications also), and know what vehicles tend to last and ones that don't and what common problems certain vehicles have in general.Oh and you have a Chrysler V-6.You might want to come look at my KJ,bet ya it's in better condition then your KJ and mines a '02 and I beat the snot out of mine(on and off road).Has it had problems? sure but I take care most of them before they can start(called routine maintenance) and quickly fix the ones that just happen which will happen on all vehicles regardless of make or model.As we speak my KJ is getting a whole new suspension and virtually the entire drivetrain replaced and for one reason and one reason only.....................

So I can regear correctly so to relieve the added stress of what I put my KJ through.

Who said anything about no maintenance? I don't know what your problem is, or what alien crawled up your stupid ass, so I will just say "You're a bored schmuck" and be on my way...

Aw, why the hate on Mitsubishi engines ? I actually only have experience with 1 of their engines, the 4G63, which IMO is the best motor EVER built. In the Talon, Eclipse, Galant, Laser, EVO, bad*** motor (like the GM 3.8, which has also been interestingly discussed on these forums).

I'm just one of those guys who misses ALL his old cars...

"Mitsubishi" is all needed to confirm a very bad engine,1st biggest issue is they eat oil rings like candy,they can't build a engine either.I'm not mad just stating reality,oh and I'd really hate to see the condition that car was with zero maintenance,must have traded it in in one of those "push,pull,or drag" deals.

I'm new to this site but I'm deff not new to the world of Mitsubishi Motors and I have yet to have 1 eat oil rings etc...The Mitsubishi 4G63 has been rated the most powerful 4 cylinder motor on the planet...

You tell me what kinda car can come off the showroom floor, Get modified, and push well over 2 times its stock horsepower out of a completely stock motor

The problem with DSM's/GVR-4's/ Evo's Are that you have some owners that beat the living piss out of them, crank the boost well past safe levels (14-15psi DSM/GVR-4 or 2x psi Evo) without fuel modifications/tuning and expect them to last....Of coarse what am I saying my Beloved DSM just broke down on me about 2 weeks ago...Have yet to go out and play with it and fix it...

The proper way to build a motor...

Looks like theres a fellow DSM'er on the boards

4g63=good
6g72 (3.0) and 6g73 (2.5) and other 6G motors=garbage.

Other than the 6G72, ThunderbirdJunkie liked his Montero.
