just as the title suggests, i hydrolocked a few weeks ago. the jeep started back up after the water was cranked out of the engine but there was a misfire. when i got home i changed the plugs and oil, no more misfire. however lately i've noticed absolutely TERRIBLE gas milage. like damn it's obscene. i can visibly see the needle drop after like 20 minutes of around town driving, and i'm only on 31"s.
i tried using sea foam and it definetly made my idle smoother but didn't do too much else for the milage. i also am gonna get my whole transmission flushed within the upcoming week, because the little bit of tranny fluid i saw when i pulled the dipstick out was brown. i'm probably gonna drain out the pan today at any rate and check it out for sure but i wanna get rid of ALL the bad fluid...
anything else i could be trying? one of my friends reccomended this oil additive "Restore" which he used on his old lincoln, which apparently did a pretty good job... i dunno help me out i tried searching but couldn't find anything too relevant. information about why this is happening or how i could fix it would be helpful!
**edit also it's important to note that the engine sounds fine, it doesnt struggle. it runs strong.
