$10000 and you can't get it to run correctly.

I think towing is the least of your issues. Fix it before it kills you, as I am assuming that if you are planning to tow it instead of fix issues with it, that there might be other items you are ignoring.

I'll buy a box of beer and let you try and figure it out it is a mystery to any one i have mentioned it to including on here

race seat with 5 point harnesses... that is what I call performance enhancing mods.


gears are gonna be your next mod... you just don't know it yet. That will help immensely.
if we were smart with our money we wouldn't own Jeeps.

Pinched fuel line?
This is not 'Nam, this is wheeling.  There are rules.

So only higher rpms?

Have you changed the cps or O2 sensors?  Throwing any codes?

And yeah....4.56's will be your friend.

Sputtering?  Backfire?  More accelerator makes it worse?

Frick Ryan....you talk like you know lots about jeeps but it's not throwing codes...with the engine light on? WT....?

Keith's, a case of 24. Check the codes and toss a frickin sensor in there.

On second though, forget it....take the money for the beer and throw it towards a bloody sensor.   ::)
