Important

It helps I only live a mile and a half from work and three miles from campus

No kidding. I get that mpg hauling better than 8k lbs. at 80 mph.

Excuse me?
I seem to recall a trip out to Arizona averaging in the 7-8 mpg range.

You swap the Cummins for a Briggs & Stratton since then?

Don't go by the overhead display.....

Gotta throw a new set of injectors in. It got a new injection pump last fall.

 

[IllianaXJ]

Yeah, but I pay $0.50 less per gallon and oil changes cost $15. Plus, trying to fit a family of 5 in anything smaller sucks. Kim's Durango is a stretch, especially if we have to haul strollers, etc.

Hmm..... room for 7 with strollers.. Gets 18 mpg. Fuel $2.59 a gallon..

You get the right vehicle for the job....

 

[IllianaXJ]

No thanks

 

[Ramsey]

What kind of fuel is 2.59 a gallon?

 

[w_howey]

E-85... Compared to $3.59 for NL and that's with competition from China*Mart.

The only price reported to E85prices.com in Lousiana is $2.80. But thats compared to $3.41 for NL.

 

[IllianaXJ]

E85 is pushing $3.25/gal here.

 

[Lawn Cher']

Helllllooooooooo!

I'm still around!

Vehicle situation has improved... we picked up a '04 BMW 525i yesterday for the wife, so I get to daily drive her former XJ now. And she is letting me keep the Suburban. Life is good.:thumbup:

See you at the Pig Gig.

I've yet to see any e85 around here.

Mark, I was just starting to think you were only in my dreams.

Replacing the rear main seal on the 4.0 with it still in the heep,........... sucks.

I should be well lubed though. I have grease and grime in places that I didn't know I had.

I was surprised that there wasn't anything in the oil pan. I was expecting some sludge or yucky stuff. Nothing but a little oil. I did learn that dropping the pan with an oil change, you need another quart.

I'm pooped, and the yard still needs mowed!

 

[BOB]

I want to buy a gallon of POR-15
anybody have a place to get this at a good price?
otherwise, I will probably get it on e-bay

thanks

BOB

For those of you who have been to mi casa, the pink and blue bathroom is no more!
Hopefully I can poop in it tomorrow night!

Speaking of maintainence. Did a tune up: plugs, plug wires, cap, rotor, air filter (and opened up the hole in the air box, wow thats small). I felt a huge improvement in throttle response, it made my day that something so simple provided a change.

Hopefully you have installed a stool that can handle a full loaf. Next time I visit I will try it out and post the results.

Nice.


Eagerly waiting for results.

 

[IllianaXJ]

Funny this should come up... saw a stool at Lowe's today that said it was "virtually clog-proof". Sounds like a challenge to me

 

[HaleYes]

Oh BTW, pics would help if you get time. Thanks Rev.
