Slime is not designed to plug leaks. It is designed to seal off around an object that punctures the the tires. This helps keep from sudden lose of air pressure, while driving. This is very helpful in trailer tires. You cannot feel the tire is flat until it is all the way down. By then it has ruined the tire or can make the trailer start swaying. I haul a lot of equipment and livestock and have never had a problem with it. It holds until I can get a tire repaired or replaced. Always check tires at stops for any damage. Especially when I am hauling livestock.

I used standard epoxy and its held up through rain and mud for about 6 months now. Always have spare puck since they are 1.40 each

Hey guys, my oil pressure sending unit went, do I put any type of sealant on the threads on the new one, old one looks like it has Teflon plumbers tape?

So I have a 99 cherokee 4 door and was curious as to what shocks would work best. I plan on getting a 3 inch lift and was wondering if i should put extra shocks in place. Any response is appreciated guys

Ok. My xj is throwing a p0303 code. Already changed the spark plug and have ordered new o2 sensors from rock auto. It's running rough and kinda sputtering. Should the o2 sensors fix it?

You'll need shocks designed for a 3" lift. They will not be suitable to drive with before lifting it. Bilstein is normally regarded as the best, but there are a LOT of options ranging from lift companies (Zone, Rough Country, Old Man Emu, BDS, Rancho) to OE applications that fit well such as shocks removed from JKs.

You just changed one spark plug? What kind did you install? What did the old look like? Have you recently done the distributor cap, rotor, and wires?

O2 sensors probably will not solve a single-cylinder misfire. You can try moving the fuel injectors around and checking for vacuum leaks along the manifold gasket.

Look at you spark plug wires. A bad one will cause this too.

Trouble shoot. I'm just trying to get info while I'm troubleshooting. Like I said I changed the number three plug already. Gonna switch injectors to see if I throw a different code then go from there.

If I can't get the black terminal disconnected on my battery, should I not disconnect the red at all? The bolt holding my black lead is rusted to ****, and the phillips face for it just shattered on me. How do you drill that out? LOL
