  1. Well.. lets start with the fact that the E15 requirement was already dropped for FY12... So its not happening for now. Victory for oil companies.... There hasn't been natural rubber in fuel system components in US made vehicles since the early 80's, so there is another myth perpetrated by oil companies. fuel mileage... yes, if you are running straight gas.. then you will see a reduction, but not 22%.. Think 3-4%.. I would love to see a reliable source stating 22% on E15. The system will run cooler.. not hotter. Ethanol has a lower amount of BTU's in it compared to dino gas, hence the reason you will get worse fuel mileage. The converse to that is that it burns cooler. Where is the water going to come from?? Ethanol isn't some magic chemical that water just jumps from space to get to.. Ever run a bottle of HEET in a car??? Take a look at the first ingredient... guess what.. its alcohol. After that, you kind of tail off into non-sense, so its hard to understand what exactly you mean.

    Pizza vending:

  3. 1. I run Amsoil... for obvious reasons. Syncromesh isn't hurting the trans.. and you admit its cleaning out the crap. Keep going. 2. If you use good lube in the first place no need for junk. The stabilizer is nothing more than a viscosity modifier. If you really want to have thicker lube... just run a heavier viscosity. When you are spinning the little crank... watch all the air get entrained in the lube doctored with Lucas. You do not want a bunch of air in the lube, this creates pockets where the air displaces the lubricant leaving you metal on metal contact. There was a good test of it on Bob.. but it appears to be gone now. You already had issues with shifting while the tranny was full of thick gunk. Why would you want to refill it with clean lube, then thicken the lube?? 3. It could be flushed, but it really sounds like you are getting there on your own. I wouldn't waste the time, money and effort. 4. Do not increase the lube level. You can increase the internal pressure and blow out seals. As the lube expands(which all lube does as it heats) it needs somewhere to go, if the tranny is completely full... where is it going to go??
  4. We see the interlocks here quite a bit. The normal stunt is to get someone who is not drinking to blow into it so the dumbass can get their car started.
  5. The guy's story is a load of crap... Every person who responded to the call has their name entered into the official department records. Alot of departments require every responder to fill out after call reports even if they spend 2 hours standing around thumbs up their butts. If the guy really had a lawyer, its a simple FOIA filing for them.
  6. http://www.hotels.com/search.do?destina ... rams.rooms[0].numberOfAdults=2&children[0]=0&asaReport=HomePage%3A%3ACity&destinationId=1538574&searchParams.landmark=&hotelId= Those are for you and the wife.... I shot them in as 3 night stays Friday-Monday.
  7. It's Detroit... Fixed it for you....
  8. Marcel... anything GL-5 rated is going to be high sulfur content gear lube. You are looking for oils that are GL-4 compliant, but not GL-5 Amsoil Manual Transmission/ Transaxle MTG or Redline MT-90 or MTL are all gear lubes that meet the GL-4 but no GL-5 tag.
  9. I've got 2 buddies that have sold their rigs, and I told em they can't both ride with me, unless one is in the back! Then the brat came to mind instantly! (Actually, it followed a cinderblock tied to the tiedowns in the bed!) Give them a shovel handle and a tube of lube..... :D
  10. Sorry... with a bench and a manual... there is no good way to mount a rear facing seat in a Manche. Unless you make the wife ride in the middle.. and stick Jr. in the passenger seat. With buckets.. there isn't a way to put one in that will keep the police(or yourself once you think about your kid instead of the Jeep) happy. Of course Momma rides in the middle too much and you end up in my situation... Mini-van city.
  11. Is this what you weren't calling me about ?? :yes:

    Went Camping:

    We went camping too... No pics... the camera melted from the heat.. I would have gladly traded you scenery..
  13. I don't see it. Lots of Rangers, Full Size Ferds, $#!&tys and S-10s. Even an XJ... but no MJ Edit... found it now... the 3/4 view looks like a Ranger... So I missed it.
  14. Kodak commercial... not good...
  15. Hahaha. He ain't got the necklace tho.... That's cause he is an owner... He knows you don't cut one up for that.
  16. I've been watching the posts over on IFSJA. It has turned out nice. And the territory around your place just makes the FSJ look at home.
  17. Me... got one I look at everytime I roll the waggy down the road... Image Not Found
  18. You guys have visual as well as sniffer testing right??? Without smog components.. you are going to fail visual.
  19. Hence the reason I shave....
  20. Same idea as a Scamp. Just as uncomfortable for more than two people... unless you REALLY like each other. very light though. Some friends of my parents had one back in 70's they used to haul with a Chebby Luv. It had a hard time keeping up with my dad, his lead foot and our Coleman 17 footer behind our Hornet Sport Wagon. Spent the night in the Burro one time. Hated the feeling inside the fiberglass bubble. This looks perfect for the MJ....

    Chicago

    What part of the city are you going to??? It can be such a pain in the @$$ to cross the city.. it helps to know where you are going.
  22. When I was looking at XJ diesels these were the folks I talked to about the motors... http://www.winnebagoparts.com/about-renault.php
  23. About $512. Wrong direction there.... $489 US would be $500 CA at yesterday's exchange rate. I'd probably have to scrape up $500 to get that truck also.
  24. Peter(WFC) is a Great Guy.... Let a bunch of MJ's fans drool all over his truck last spring, We couldn't talk him into starting it though.
  25. Sure.. tell me what engine and tranny you have... I will go the parts store, buy all of them.. sell them you at a healthy profit to me... :brows: :brows:
