    Jeep Wrangler 2.5L UOA (4th one) - M1 10w30

    Gary, I've got the Advance Adapters SYE and Tom Woods rear DS. I have 4.88 gears. It has great takeoff in 1st and 2nd gear. The tires I have on it are 33x10.50's, less width, less weight and looks better.

    Jeep Wrangler 2.5L UOA (4th one) - M1 10w30

    Bryan, I've actually had bolts fall out of the manifold into my garage and I'd find them in the morning, lol. My manifold has been retapped. I plan on putting a new header on it at some point to fix the problem.

    Jeep Wrangler 2.5L UOA (4th one) - M1 10w30

    Guys, I've attached my 4th UOA of my 2.5L Jeep Wrangler. I've done these over the years I've had it.

    Need help on 0w20 recommendation for 09 Corolla.

    No, I don't have subzero temps. I am in West virigina. The cap says 0w20, figured that what i'm putting in it. Thanks everyone for their input. I'm going to see if I can find the Mobil around here I guess. I am a Amsoil preferred customer so I guess I could go that route too.

    4 dead in crane accident in Houston turnaround

    This is horrible. I've worked with Deep South guys as well as Starcon, CTS and many others. This is a true tragedy. We just recently had a giant mobile crane nearly that size on site for a turnaround and this really hits home for me. Take care of your guys, God bless.

    Do Synchros in Manual Trannies Work Better or Worse with Different Viscosity Fluids ?

    tires, run them down or replace when worn?

    Your sister sounds a lot like mine. Sounds like she has almost ruined a set of tires by not rotating them correctly. My sister wore out both her front tires and ruined the set. The back still had a ton of tread but the front was trashed stupid if you ask me

    LC as a general purpose lube

    I'd take a look at CorrosionX, it will stop all rust even in the presence of moisture. It is amazing against rust. Not sure how hot that area you are talking about is though

    why can't you find it? www.myoilshop.com just go order it. And just because you don't have a limited slip doesn't mean you HAVE to get the "NS" version on the oil. They are the same price. I have a gear driven limited slip in my Jeep and it doesn't require friction modifiers but I run the...
