    Troubleshooting SKIM / PCM / no start

    I had a nobus showing on my odometer recently, but was not affecting the car running.. Took it to a service center and they found out that a small fuse had blown and needed to be replaced in the fuse panel located behind the glove box compartment. It was a tiny and funny looking red fuse (not...

    What oil do you guys use on your 4.0s?

    I just did my oil change today. I wanted to switch to Castrol for this change as it is a premium oil, but couldn't find the Castrol GTX 10W30 synthetic blend (semi synthetic). So, I disregarded all advise and went for Castrol Magnetic 10W40, I think it is full synthetic... (sorry) My Jeep is...
