I can let it out of the shop with the remaining issues and not worry about some poor soul being stranded by it... no stalling, incredible throttle response... could easily spin the tires.... oh... just realized something... I was in full time 4wd, no wonder I couldn't to a power brake burnout... shoot... maybe I need to go out and try it again in 2wd. :) forgot about it being in 4wd... now... to move onto the '00 WJ... have that nice '04 4.0L out of a Rubicon with only 28k on it sitting on my shop crane... and the temps are in the comfortable range again... maybe this saturday... :) john ----- - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Snohomish, Washington -o|||||o- where Jeeps don't rust, they mold http://AMSOIL.com/redirect.cgi?zo=283461 http://creationwiki.org http://johnmeister.com http://wagoneers.com http://fotomeister.us - ------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------ End of xj-digest V1 #3123 *************************
