    0-60 my KJ

    Haha, I thought of that song too when I posted that.... ...but it's true what he said. ;) He also said that the telephone poles looked like a picket fence, but I didn't take note of that one.

    0-60 my KJ

    I've never tried to go all that fast in mine...I've probably done 80 out on the highway cruising before, but other than that I don't feel a need to go any faster, I've done it in other cars. I had my old MX-6 at 140mph one day a couple years ago. It had more to go but I decided to back off...

    Gas Mileage?!?!?!

    I've hit 24 a few different times with mine on trips. Lately on trips I've been getting 22-23 though, running the A/C. Around town and to work I've been getting 17-18. I'm not sure how you're coming to your mpg is an accurate assumption...if you put 7 gallons in, how do you know how much...

    Im curious

    I only do occasionally when I either want to pass somebody, get on an on ramp in a hurry, or if I just wanna have a little fun. Otherwise I don't hit 4k that much. 3k maybe, but not 4k. Besides, I like to get good gas milage. :)

    Got my first Check Engine light!

    I'm not sure, their starting to get so complicated anymore...are they even still OBD-II? Or did III come out yet? If it's II they should still do that I would imagine...if you have access to one try it, I'm curious now too. :)

    Got my first Check Engine light!

    A lot of the OBD I cars were able to read out codes to you, but it requires the jumping of a couple pins in the diagnostic plug under the hood. When you do this, the check engine light blinks out sequences which translate into code numbers. Long flashes are the 10's digit, and short flashes...

    Got my first Check Engine light!

    Cool, I never tried it with the KJ, since I already have the scanner...everything else I've ever owned has lost the settings though.

    02 Overheating - I Need Ideas

    I did say where it could be going....into the combustion chamber and out the exhaust...I've had it happen before, read my post. If you think the engine is evaporating a gallon+ of coolant in a matter of a few minutes I hope you're right, but it's unlikely. Think about how long it takes to...

    Got my first Check Engine light!

    That scan tool is worth to me alone just so I don't have to take it anywhere to get cleared or disconnect my battery and lose all my presets. :)

    02 Overheating - I Need Ideas

    The coolant isn't evaporating...not at a rate that fast anyway...If there isnt a visable leak somewhere, but the coolant is disappearing, it almost has to being burned off, by way of leaky intake mani gaskets, or a head gasket, allowing coolant into the combustion chamber. It was getting into...

    Got my first Check Engine light!

    I have a scan tool also, but I had it before I had the KJ...it's paid for itself numerous times with other cars though. Anytime somebody I know gets a cel, they borrow it. I originally got it to pull codes off of a ZX2 I had, and it saved me a huge headache of tracing down a problem. The car...

    Week-end pics

    Went up to my camp for the week-end to finish repainting the place, took a few pics while I was there...enjoy. Snuck up on this deer after I got there. :) Sorry for the poor quality, was getting dark. Some of the old color was still there from the paint not being done, he blended...

    Automatic Door locks

    Mine always lock at 15mph, but I've never noticed a beep when they lock while driving. I have noticed it though when locking the doors walking away from the vehicle, occasionally I'll hear it, a beep other than the horn.

    Trans Filter

    You have to drop the pan to change those. I've never done it on a KJ but I did it on my old Explorer and it's not a whole lot of fun, but it's not hard, just messy. I'd imagine it's really similar to change on a KJ.

    Regular versus Premium Gas

    I've tried premium in every vehicle I've ever owned to see if it made a difference in performance and milage. The fact is, the only vehicle I've ever seen run any better on it for me was also the only vehicle I've ever had that premium was recommended by the manufacturer...moral of the story...
