The one MAJOR factor that nobody brought up is, that engine he is running was designed to run only High Octane fuel. If your a tight at the pump and only feed the Jeep Regular Gas, it will not run well and will feel like it's timing is all off. I got some bad gas in Baja once and it took a couple months before I could get it all out of my fuel lines.

I have used Rotella 15-40 since i have had it (6 years) Ill give the synthetic a try. I have used the hell out of this truck and it just keeps going. I tow a 14,000 toy hauler 5 or 6 times a year, and so far so good. It was good talking to you, keep up the good work.

I have never had the low speed surge/chug had others mention it on the Diesel forums. Every once in a while I get a bit of rough idle but not that much. The place that will know exactly what's up will be this site called '<a href="http://www.thedieselstop.com/" rel="nofollow">The Diesel Stop</a>' (http://www.thedieselstop.com/) They have a special section for Diesel Excursion. Been really helpful when doing a power steering pump and a few other mods like rear sway bar. I'm right at 115k or so now and still running strong. Frequent oil changes are good for that motor, and I have seen cold running differences with different oils. I now try to run Rotella T Synthetic in it and seems not to do the cold 'cackle' as much as some of the other oils when cold. Also just popped in a Spectre Performance gauze air filter the other day and seems to work ok. They also sent a new cold air intake kit, but no time to do the install. The only problem now is my passenger door ajar switch has gone bad so have to take the door apart and get a new switch as it's part of the door latch. Pain in the a$$. Sandy Hey Fellow ‘X’ driver!

It has 145,000 on it and runs great for the most part, the problem I am having is every once in a while it will "chug" it low throttle, like it surges. Any Ideas what this could be? Ganz,

You can get the full size image by just clicking it. Just need to remember to not shrink it up as much. I think currently they are 800x600 when not a photo of us sitting on the sofa.

This episodes cars would be a perfect example of it. its hard to find just s good shot of a unique car, and you guys have them coming to you all the time. Plus you guys could have the car cast logo on it along with some sponsor logos. just an idea....keep up the great work! Love the car casts as always!
