When you're driving, the low pressure area under the vehicle pulls heat out from the bottom of the engine bay. Hood vents and spacers help lower ambient temperatures in traffic or offroading. I don't imagine there would be any detrimental effect toward your cowl intake.

 

I might try it for the hell of it and worse case just undo them if gas take a plunge or overheat. Thanks.

 

No problem. Hood vents and cowl intake are on my list of things to do before my 2k mile road trip in May.

 

ill eventually do hood vents. On that tight budget timeline for now.

 

Ok so I did the sea foam thing thought the brake booster. I did 3/4 of the can slowly never stalling it out. I let it sit for 15 minutes started it up revved at 2500 for about a minute an took a spirited drive. I dnt know if this is just me being paranoid but it seems to be "smokier" now out of the exhaust and smell more. Is this normal?

 

Yes

 

My jeep stops hard on cold mornings, is that normal? I barely press the brake and it jerks and stops.

 

No that is not normal. Does it grab and jerk when you're slowing from high speed?

 

No just when I'm going at slow speeds like backing out of driveway.

 

Does it go away after a few stops

 

Yeah. It goes away after driving for a bit. What exactly does putting seafoam in the brake booster do.

 

I'd suggest checking your rotors before you leave and see if there's surface rust starting over night sense winter and all the salt from the roads

 

I would pull the rear brakes apart too and make sure nothing broke.

 

It's slightly normal persay. It's moisture, or some crap, on the rear drums. Cleaning it won't stop it from happening. Happens to me and my rear drums are up to date. Although I am def converting to discs when I get the funds. Tired of drums

 

Looking for some insight, I was pulling into a store today and thought I heard a sound of front in the suspension but it always makes sounds so didn't think anything of it. When I left the driver side tire felt like it was walking around a little bit pulling me around. Thought maybe it was the road so I drove it around for a few and it still seemed to be acting unusual in the steering. I just jacked the front up did a wheel check no wobble or play, checked the u joint with a pry bar they seem tight and did a general shake down on it and don't see anything out of order but unfortunately I don't have anyone here right now to move the wheel for me either. The alignment has been fine and it still drives straight but then the front end starts walking around slightly again. I have a 3" lift and 31" tires, the p/s pump high pressure hose has a leak but only when you cut the wheel all the way, I also checked steering box bolts and they are tight. Any suggestions what to check or try next?
