I don't mean to bring something up from page 4, but whose tank is that on the left ?surfwagoneer wrote:Do you not have enough room to put the tray sideways? That's the way its designed to go in, although it looks like it might be a tight fit for you.
I got mine all finished up today and pulled my old tank. Huge difference.

I have achieved that mileage range before. But only once or twice. Coming from Reno o Las Vegas over the period of 10 hours traveling st 55mph the whole way I got almost 14.Cataldo wrote:Nice update. What kind of fuel mileage were you getting before?

That miss might not be caused by anything electrical. It's entirely possible it's mechanical, like a worn out rocker bridge/pedestal, bent pushrod, loose valve guide or even a lifter leaking down.
I'd love to put your jeep on an Allen Smart Scope for a few minutes and be there to hear the sounds.
Bet we'd find the cause in less time than it takes to swig a bottle of Mike's Hard Lemonade.

Mmmmmm! Mike's Hard lemonade!
I'd bet you are right on the miss. Going to 13.5 at idle is covering something up. I doubt it is anything major. Could also be carbon build up, or a bit of a leak on the EGR.
I'm betting Dr. M. will want to do an Edlebrock Power Pack with cam, heads, intake, along with some nice headers pretty soon. He'll probably want to do some bore and stroke work as well. So that would take care of any mechanical issues.
You know, just an evening or two's work, and a bit of beer money.

Increasing the CID depending on their programming might cause other issues.
Depends on how they calculate fuel needed, and generate the fuel map.
Telling it you have a 400 vs. a 360 will generate a fuel map that probably wouldn't be ideal.
Too much fuel could make it fall on it's face @ high load.

Personally I wouldn't do it by increasing CID.

How did you ground the relay for the HEI? Could have caused a noisy ground loop?Dr. Marneaus wrote:P.S. now my radio sounds like crap, super fuzzy and weak, fades in and out, and that super irritates me.
I used a body ground. I'll try move it.babywag wrote:How did you ground the relay for the HEI? Could have caused a noisy ground loop?Dr. Marneaus wrote:P.S. now my radio sounds like crap, super fuzzy and weak, fades in and out, and that super irritates me.
Maybe try switching it to an engine ground if you used a body ground.
You can also pick up a noise filter from a stereo shop or online if that doesn't take care of it.
I've heard that some people experience speedo problems in cases like yours? They oddly just stop working.
You might try a trick I've used in the past to keep the connector from falling off:Dr. Marneaus wrote: And yeah on the speedo. The crazy thing is how loose the connector on the back of the dash is. I mean... It's totally able to just fall off on long trips. It's so frustrating....it's the worst that I can't get my hand up in there to get it tight enough or apply loctite or anything....oh well I'll just have to make sure it doesn't fall off to often and fix it really quick if it does
