    How bad is it to run an Nv3550 on a cup of fluid for a year.

    I plan on installing it myself, this all sounds like good advice. Will def require looking at it before I buy. I am not sure what is involved with "Pulling an inspection plate" but I will look it up and see. Thanks for the info.

    How bad is it to run an Nv3550 on a cup of fluid for a year.

    '04 3.7L 5 speed manual. I recently had to have my throw out bearing replaced. I had a new clutch kit installed. When I got it back the clutch felt a bit strange, but I chalked it up to just being a new clutch. After a few days I decided never to go back to the same shop as they somehow...

    Give me my KJ or give me death!

    I bought a KJ about 3 weeks ago, and while I had always heard about Jeep owners love affairs with just about every jeep product, I was not prepared for it. My KJ is a 2004 sport 3.7l manual. It was previously owned by a 17 year old 350 lbs teen. Before that it aside from oil changes it...
