[QUOTE=salad;2910993]Not sure what you mean by that? Can you rephrase lol
Seriously, unless that 16' camper is a paper box the XJ is going to have a really hard time towing it at any speed without any work. Maybe in 2nd gear.
Do you know the weight of the trailer?[/QUOT
I was told its around 2200. but it just seems like it would be heavier. im in the process of upgrading the whole cooling system now is what I meant.

No, its pictures of the pistons in my Civic. Im eating coolan and am wondering if the shiny cylinders are where its going or the gross dirty ones. Noone I know has an asnwer so I posted on here for the old folks like you with an emence amount of knowledge.
2 a black and gross and 2 are spotless. Both pairs are next to each other, not every other cylinder so I know its either the dirty side (1-2) or the clean shiny (2-3) side. But i wanted input.

Remember our threads about removing carbon from an engine using water?

1) If you think the head gasket is done, it probably is.
2) Who cares where the problem is? Take off the head, clean that carbon up, do the gasket, reinstall the head, resume driving.

My cruise control doesn't work at all and my slower wiper speeds don't either. I was wondering if both of these problems could be related and caused by the same thing? I'll do some more searchin but so far haven't found anything on it

Doubtful. Although they're operated off the same stalk, they're independent of each other.
