Changed out the spark plugs, dumped Seafoam into the gas tank, changed the oil and installed oversize Ford filter, changed the air filter, and replaced the oil pressure sending unit.

Still fighting p0301 and p0306 misfire codes.... arghhh

Going to see how if the seafoam helps clean the injectors at all. If the misfire codes come back on then it's time to pull the injectors and clean 'em with carb cleaner.

Yep. At least the parts that arn't rino lined. I call it the ugly stick.

I don't have a good one down loaded yet. But more pixals don't improve the look.

Should give me at least a week between empties now. :roll:
Mostly clear water with some oily cheese. Coolant level is constant and oil looks clean and level. Power is great........but I can smell the crankcase vapours if I open the window.

If you hook that up to vacuum it will suck all vapors into the engine and leave the oil in the catch can. I run the same setup, lol.



Washed it, it's been at least 4 months since I got to take care of her!
Detailed the interior/door seals
Pulled the doors off and hosed down the fabric and it looks a ton better. And because the weather was nice I left the doors off all day. I LOVE COLORADO!

Replaced the TRE on my trackbar on my 92 but still have a slight death wobble. Gonna do a better inspection in a few days.

Spent $80 at Autozone for parts and tools for the Jeepies

Drove it to the movies. 1 hour drive on the highway (30min each way) sucks in my Jeep. Plus with it being 36* outside and no heat it was a cold ride.

Got pulled over on the way home. Cop asked me did I know why he was pulling me over and I really had no idea. Ended up I had a headlight out. I thought my lights looked dim. He told me to get it fixed and let me go.
