Okay, so I was looking at the news this morning and saw this on the ticker on the bottom of the page."Fiat denies merger with VW". But the Fiat stock jumps in value and this article seems to support the idea that VW is interested in Fiat's Chrysler side of business. Fiat shares rise on VW...

In the past I have done everything in the world possible to effect MPG's with my Jeep. I have had both very good and very bad experiences. At this point in time I am having a bad experience. My average MPG is about 13. and that would be on a good stretch of normal "county" driving. In town it...

Normally I run at around 16 to 19 city. But now, in the past month or so I'm lucky to get 10 - 12!!! This is crap. IDK... I have e of course been well up to date with all the usual stuff (oil changing n tire pressure and etc.). Having spoken with a mechanic the result was " we don't want to...

So this may not look awesome but consider this... Lifted 2 3/4. Larger tires, HD OME suspension, bike rack. 117,000 Miles. I was previously only able to get about 17ish per gallon in an hour trip to Baltimore from where I am. For the past week I have been consistently in the low to mid 20's...

1. Anybody know if smaller injectors can be installed instead of the ones that are stock? I have a thought that even more of a "mist" might be of some benefit. (maybe from another Chrysler/Jeep vehicle?) 2. What type of O2 sensors are stock? I'd like to try wide band sensors if they are available.

I typically keep the pressure set at 33psi as recommended. I air down for off road traction of course, but I have heard a lot of different opinions on what to run the tires at around my area. What do you set yours at, and why?

So at what point in increased tire size do we need to re-gear to accommodate? And to the next point what gear to what tire size? Are there any other reasons to upgrade the gears other than increased tire size?

I have been looking at this for a few days and in typical addict behavior I have talked myself into wanting it. Does anyone have any experience with this unit? I have seen the threads on the other Hypertech unit ( the Max Energy 52001) but I am interested in increasing mpg's. Having looked...

I am looking for a bike rack to carry 3-4 bikes. I would prefer a rear mounted type, but might be interested in other designs. I do not have a hitch, so another type would be best. Unless you have a cool package deal. Let me know, Thanks.

I was thinking about this. I have about a case of 5w40 left over from my VW's and i want to know if I can use it in the Jeep. I understand that the flow of the 40 weight will be diffrent than the 30. But since the engine is a bit older (+ 100,000mi) I'm thinking that the "thicker" oil may fill...

I couldn't figure out where else to put this. It's a link to a debunking of alot of "fuel Saving" techniques. I thought it was interesting and wanted to share. http://www.fuelsaving.info/ It's a bit older (2008ish) but still holds up.

I have to get a alignment bolt to better align my wheels. I was told they are about 20.00 bucks. My question is is a bolt just a bolt in this case, or is there a special "cool" bolt that I should get. Sounds kinda funny, but I'd rather get a better bolt then just a run of the mill bolt.:shrug:

So right before Thanksgiving my KJ ticked off the 100,000 mile mark. I'm pretty happy with that. Recently I have done all the usual stuff maintenence wise to keep it running. It feels like it is running pretty good. Is there anything that I should keep an eye on though at this point? What are...

Sevral weeks ago I purchased the AEM intake and checked out whats up with it. I got it for like 206.00 on Amazon prime 2day free shipping. So it made it worth it to experiment. Well not so great as everyone has eluded too. As we all know it is not CAI. It is an intake, that's it. I knew this...

As it says I broke some stuff on the PCV tubes and above the valve. Before it looked like this. Now this. I have been trying to get the valve out off and on since I got the Jeep in July to check it . I have followed directions on how by rotating and pulling it. Today it popped when I put...

What’s the truth behind RRO’s statement that their outside of the strut spacer is better because it’s not inside the structure? Outside is supposed to be better because the spring is not compressed to near max. and other lifts are. Like the frankenlift.

Okay, since I am coming to within a week or so in pulling the trigger on a lift (2.5-3”) I’m starting to wonder about tire size. Having looked at the calculators and visual aids, I think I’m seeing that they are based on 16”. I have 17x7.5’s stockers. I’d like to keep the wheels. What is the...

Here is the list first. Because you prolly don't care why I'm worried. There is a lot to look at here as possible reasons for poor gas mileage. Here are a few engine problems that hurt fuel economy: - missing or defective thermostat, causing low operating temperature - clogged intake...

I saw Cherry Bombs at the local auto part store today. Good prices too. But I'm wondering how bad do the sound while inside the cab? Or during highway driving? I don't want a drone that is going to drive me up a wall. I know the Magnaflow's and Flowmaster's are supposed to have acceptable...

Okay so after taking a look at a few of the posts here, I'm begining to wonder about something. Currently I am sitting about 28-29" from center to flare in frontand back. So what would a 2.5 lift do for me? Just bring me back to stock ? Or is there a problem with the geometry there as far as...
