    Help ! My gas mileage SUCKS !

    I've been using K&Ns for about 40 years and have always been very happy with them. The gain from a high-flow air filter like the K&N is mainly in performance and ultimate cost (from being reuseable). But any change in fuel economy with respect to a computer-controlled, fuel-injected motor...

    Help ! My gas mileage SUCKS !

    No, it doesn't really make any sense. THe K&N should improve both performance and fuel economy.

    I'd be a lot happier if I were getting your numbers. I'm still at 14. :-({|=

    Help ! My gas mileage SUCKS !

    I appreciate all the replies. Yes, I bought it new. I do intend to switch to synthetic oil at 3,000 miles. I replaced the stock air filter with a K&N the day after I brought it home. I agree that the mpg should get a little better throughout the break-in, but probably nowhere even close to...

    Help ! My gas mileage SUCKS !

    Since buying my '05 limited I've put 520 miles on it while burning 38 gals. Doing the math, that's only 13.7 mpg! The EVIC shows 13.9, so at least I know it's pretty close to the truth. I pretty much baby the throttle since, after reading several posts here in the forum, I've seen it...

    Molded Splash Guard ?

    I don't think the doublesided tape will get it done for you. What you need is a tube of 3M Super Weatherstrip Adhesive. I've used it for regluing the heavy-duty rubber strip that runs the length on each side of my Dodge Ram Van. It won't hurt your paint either if you ever decide to remove the...

    Molded Splash Guard ?

    I just put them on last week. The fit is pretty good, but not perfect. The only problem I've noticed is that theres a small gap of about 1/8" along the top edge. Not enough to look bad, but definitely will allow crud to get wedged between the guard and the outside edge of the wheel well. I'm...

    Husky Liners - Picking the best match for color...

    I went with the Husy Liners in black for mine. I figured the black would look good without worrying ab out color matching and also won't show scuff marks and stains. They weren't cheap ... $139 from Pep Boys online. No shipping charges or tax though.

    Where are all the Trac-Locs?

    When I was looking for mine back in July ('05) it seemed like the majority of them, especially the 4X4s here in south Texas had the LSD.

    Synthetic Oil

    I've used Castrol Syntec in all of my cars, motorcycles and other I/C powered items for the past or 20 years or so. Several years back I saw the results of a test conducted by running a group of identical chevy small blocks for over a long time (I seem to recall it was several months) under the...

    painting fenders

    Don't the the high outside temps stop you. In fact, the warmer, the better. Just try to do it when the relative humidity is down low. The higher the temp and lower the humidity ... the quicker & better the paint will cure. Allow at least 48 jours before going back over the top with the...

    New To The Jeep Thing

    I'm a newbie too. At age 47, I just sold my Buick LeSabre and bought the Liberty. I guess I'm just not ready to live like a bluehair yet. Actually, I bought the Jeep more as the wife's car, and she loves it too. After 20 years of marriage I finally got something right! It's a BIG hit with...

    Tow Hooks

    I've been thinking about adding tow hooks to the front. Does anybody know of a way of doing this without having to cut into the bumper or other painted/finished surfaces?

    KJ shuddering in reverse

    shuddering in reverse I just picked my KJ up new at the dealer yesterday. As I was backing it up my driveway after bringing her home, I was surprised and kind of concerned when it started shuddering quite badly. I read the post about this being caused by the engine and I can tell that this is...
