This is why you do a tune up...

Ugh!

Damn! Those are nasty!

Did the tune-up improve the performance?

[TroyAndEddie]

Surprisingly...no. Not too much drastically. It did improve start up and the idle a tad, but nothing too much. Gotta love the Jeep inline-6. What a champ!! I'm gonna have the compression and timing checked today also.

Here's a list of everything the poor Jeep needed:
Front bumper
Foglights
Rear panel dent
COMPLETE (and I mean COMPLETE) tuneup
Suspension is shot (original setup at 169k)
U joints in front axle
Fluid flush for tranny, diff, and transfer case
Interior wash (badly...)
Exhaust system is shot (again...the original setup)
Steering is loose
Shift linkage is loose
A/C is out
Radio is out
Overhead display is out
Full brake job
Alignment


But hey...it was only $500. :) So spending $1200 to put her together didn't hurt me so much.
