Not sure if sarcasm. My mostly stock XJ has a 36.85:1 crawl ratio. 2014 Cherokee Trailhawk starts at 47.8:1 crawl...

After starting, if you hold your tongue to the spring looking thing on the resistor, it leaves a burn mark visible to others, there is too much resistance. Replace it then and please post photos of your tongue for others to reference.

Seriously, unless that 16' camper is a paper box the XJ is going to have a really hard time towing it at any speed without any work. Maybe in 2nd gear.
Do you know the weight of the trailer?

No, its pictures of the pistons in my Civic. Im eating coolan and am wondering if the shiny cylinders are where its going or the gross dirty ones. Noone I know has an asnwer so I posted on here for the old folks like you with an emence amount of knowledge.
2 a black and gross and 2 are spotless. Both pairs are next to each other, not every other cylinder so I know its either the dirty side (1-2) or the clean shiny (2-3) side. But i wanted input.
