Well, “Project Cherokee” is officially on the road. While it remains a piece of crap it is now a legal piece of crap with two new tires on the back. The original front tires were HORRIBLE – dry rot, smooth tread that screamed the need to slide across water, and constantly going flat. I threw a couple of Goodyear Wrangler Radials on it for $195. Not bad. Had a neighbor give me a brand new battery for it. So far it is working though it is slightly underpowered when it comes to CCA.
I tested the 4×4 and it is working as I expected. Since the Cherokee sat for a couple years+ you never know. Preevious owner installed a brand new transfer case about a year before he parked it. Should last. Keeping up with oil usage as well as water. Oil pressure is running high. Thinking of trying a “MMO Clean Out”. Basically, drain the oil down two quarts – and replace it with Marvel Mystery Oil. Run it for a couple days then do a complete oil change. Sludge and “crap” should break free with the lower viscosity. At least that’s the plan.

There is a case in California where a man went on a killing spree using an AR-15 he built. It is being reported that this was based on an 80% lower and used to skirt around the law as he was not allowed to own firearms. Those of us who have bought 80% lowers – I can see a time in the not too distant future when they will no longer be available. No link as I do not want to improve their Google rank.
Could be wrong.

Duncan here, Instead of using MMO, I have successfully used 5 quarts of diesel fuel in the oil pan, run engine about 30 seconds, drain and replace oil and filter. I was really surprised at what came out into the drain pan! This was done on a Buick station wagon with a big block. The engine performance had a noticeable increase and smoothed out a rough idle.
Thanks, Duncan.
“So far it is working though it is slightly underpowered when it comes to CCA.”
What is CCA?
Cold Crank Amps
Ok thanks. BTW, just ordered some of the Wertz products, thanks for the discount. Shipping only $5 on quite a heavy order is a bonus.
Sounds good ralph k. That is a product I’m looking at as well.
