  1. 3.6 engine and 87 octane a no-no

    on rare occasions diesels apparently can run on gas to a certain degree ...original diesel was a mix of oil and gasoline 50/50....however , doesn't mean one should ... octane saves me from a poor AFR I don't see where your latter statement has to do anything directly with what I said .
  2. 3.6 engine and 87 octane a no-no

    No codes showing even from a code reader that dealers use.. I did find out today though that my ground terminal was a bit lose . Hoping this was it.. so far it’s not showing the hiccups I would typically feel during acceleration.
  3. 3.6 engine and 87 octane a no-no

    Check fuel pressure if not use a octane booster in the meantime it might hold u over till u get a chance to figure out the underlying problem.
  4. 3.6 engine and 87 octane a no-no

    just got back from Brazil and let say it is stark .. not just here in the states .. rented a three cylinder Hyundai to putt around .. in the southern cone of South America....I tell you no lie it was a lawnmower of an engine.. yet one thing I noticed immediately was that the gas that was made...
  5. 3.6 engine and 87 octane a no-no

    we all make gas .... just don't tell anyone
  6. 3.6 engine and 87 octane a no-no

    upon start up engine runs a richer ..this might be the reason one might have the issue until the regular fuel map kicks in after it reaches a certain threshold in temps.
  7. 3.6 engine and 87 octane a no-no

    ahem..... octane ratings. And it does make a difference in the air fuel ratio depending on how lean you run. you might be new to this game so let me throw a query your way .. would you put straight gas in a diesel.. if you answer yes then u should look up why this is a big no no. I will...
  8. Till the wheels fall off… literally

    I see now what happened the rotor is flat it needs more air.
  9. Till the wheels fall off… literally

    not sure about the JLs ( I haven't experienced it on mine) but the wheels of some vehicles get almost bonded to the rotors after being torqued for a long time. of course this is more on the rare side..but I remember when I worked on the old Audis they would have this crazy standard where the...

    Yeah, it’s more than .5 %. For sure
  11. Aux battery delete, now i have loud static pops over the sound system

    More battery is usually better however, since they stuck the small one in such bad place….. first off.. to get to it …and then the temps that thing sees right next to the exhaust…. they even gave the plastic box a little heat reflective sticker as if that would save it from the heat it is...
  12. Aux battery delete, now i have loud static pops over the sound system

    Sounds about right it does behave that way
  13. Aux battery delete, now i have loud static pops over the sound system

    With fuse pulled my JLU still has ESS working. But .. for several cycles..Can’t recall right how many I would guess five or so. I drive for short distances so one would not even notice a difference because it restarts the same cycle after shutting of the engine. So if if you don’t...

  18. dueling dual batteries ..... making the small one more accessible

    these vehicles have tremendous parasitic electrical loss .. with my old Honda my battery would last two months without having to run the vehicle ..crank right up... with our jeep it could be about a week and you already have to worry if it will have juice. and that's on new batteries
