Or maybe just needs a fresh bushing to replace oil soaked rubber sloppiness. But that's way way too much.

Fitty bucks?

Yes, 2-1/2" reciever. Took a little searching but Napa has 3" and 5" drop in stock for $45. Etrailer was showing like $70 so that was a relief

$77 at Napa and hitch mount, ball, hitch pin procured.

7 prong plug is about to fall off, wires in BAD shape. Also, brake controller does not show any signs of life. Hoping it's the little circuit breaker thingy screwed to the fender.

Did about 3hrs round trip towing my Jeep today. Pretty sweet to set cruise at 70 and just... cruise. I let it eat on a couple mild interstate grades, boost spiked to 30 a couple times, EGT never got over 900*F. I think it could use an injector service, my friend here suspected that could be causing the slight roughness at idle. Not too noticeable other than hearing it through the exhaust.

Question: what towing practices will help prolong 5th gear life? I was making a point of not going from 4th  to 5th until about 45mph.

It stopped backfiring actually. Did not lose the "running on 5" feeling though. Fuel pressure stayed constant the entire trip, around 55psi.

Lose batter connection made it not want to start again after unloading jeep in my driveway.

Fuel pressure shrader valve did not seal when I took the gauge off after it was started, sprayed fuel everywhere.

Pressing in the clutch pedal gives this awesome squealing noise now.




Not really in the mood to even look at this thing right now
