Yes. It takes from it, and give to it.

 

Iv changed my valve cover gasket and it was pretty gunky so I took a persons advice on here and poured seafoam all over them. After cranking it a running it a while it now has a pretty loud tick. Kind of a clanking sound coming from inside. And sometimes even once the engines off it continues for a good 3-5 minutes... Is this bad?

 

Hang on, you washed all the buildup and crap DOWN into the engine instead of physically removing it? Ouch man. You just sent a ton of **** into your lifters and oil pump. Drop the pan and clean your engine out properly before something explodes.

 

Its probably just lifter tick, you might have knocked something loose when you put seafoam in it

If you haven't yet, I'd change that oil and the get the seafoam out. Its not good to run that in there for a long time.

 

I didn't actually wash it, I poured it on there like you see people do a lot.

 

who do you see do that a lot? Because i want to smack them

 

I run a qt of transfluid in mine. At least its an oil unlike sea foam.

 

Its not an oil its a fluid

Its got detergents in it too, I wouldn't leave that in there for any long periods of time either.

 

 

Soo I went through a somewhat small mud puddle today and there happened to be a set of some pretty gnarly ruts in it and I hit the ruts at an angle. I wasn't going fast at all but my steering wheel is not centered anymore.. When I'm going straight the steering wheel is turned to the right a good bit. Kind of like it was after I lifted it, before I got it aligned. Nothing looks bent or anything. It still rides and steers fine. So what do I do? Just simply take it to my mechanic and get it aligned or whatever again?

 

You can do it your self on a Jeep. I am sure the write up is around here some where. Personally, i'd pay the $59 and have it done. But, you can do it though.

 

Where do you pay $59 for an alignment? I've been doing it myself because everyplace wanted $120 , my DD isn't quite right, I wouldn't mind paying $60 if I knew it was perfect.

Here's a write up for home alignment:

Do you think that's all that needs to be done? Nothing worse happens? Is that common to happen just by hitting a rut?

 

Happened

 

Brake master or Pep Boys. Normal price is $69. The $59 is with coupon. It is digital/laser done too.

You're getting racked over the coal. $120? Damn.
