No just atmospheric moisture. It gets in through all the vents, and needs time and heat to be evaporated away. But we'll see once you drain the oul.
For very short trips like what you describe I'd stick with 3K. Short trips where the engine never reaches temp is pretty bad for the oil.

Pinging not rattling today?
ccooper does this happen if you mash the gas with the transmission in gear and foot on the brake?
Like trying to do a burnout? Haven't tried that but can see if it does it. I'm starting to think it's a dead spot in the tps. Basically when I'm driving and in gear 3 or D at 2300rpm the jeep with jerk forward like you hit a hard bump in the road. It will do it multiple times if I keep it at that rpm. It will stop if I slow down or mash the gas and go fast.

Not like an add-a-leaf. RC coils are decent

Yeah exactly. Dead spot on TPS can certainly be tested for easily. I'm wondering if the PCM is running you lean for some reason and under load you get pinging at a certain RPM. What octane gas?
Running 87 octane
Could not reseting the computer after installing a new tps cause my problem? Cause I just disconnected the battery for about 10 minutes then reconnected it and drove and it doesn't stutter anymore. WTF

Well PROBABLY. You need to confirm this is the case. If you're not losing coolant you should be mostly okay.

Bingo.......+1
It's a tamperproof bolt, they tighten down until the head snaps off, then you can't remove them, well easy,'anyway. A left hand drill bit works great. I have only seen them used in 2 places, one was on the steering column on a dodge, the other was a valve cover on the engine of a piece of equipment......RR
Where is this one located??

I found a potential set of 97+ Classic low-back seats with head rests to reupholster. The driver side bottom seat frame is toast. It looks like it broke, was welded poorly and then broke again.
Does anyone know if I can use the frame from a high-back seat bottom to replace the frame in the low-back?
The pics I've found look like they are the same. If anyone knows though, I'd appreciate it.
