The Jeep has 222, 3?? miles on it, and it shows. The radiator is also leaking, so I just picked up a new one off ebay for $78 shipped. That should conclude the engine work for awhile. The trans and diffs oil need to be changed here soon too.

Boost, because sometimes atmospheric pressure just isn't enough.

Hopefully it is not major. Keeping my fingers crossed.

It's a misfire cylinder #2. It's not the plug, wire, cap/rotor, or the injector. Compression test was only 78psi. It's not eating oil, so it's a bad valve. I'll look for some used valves and swap them out later on.

I need to fix this damn thing!! I dont have a lot of extra income flowing in, so thats killing me. Its killing me even more that I have a $10k truck just sitting there that I bought not that long ago. Now, Im moving next door, school is in full force, kid on the way, kid I have now, and a wife thats going to pop within 3 months.

Just going to fix the engine with what the parts that I have. Then Im only going to repaint it, then focus on the suspension and brakes and then work on tuning. Should be around 400awhp with about 18-20 psi.
