Airy too. Need somewhere safe for the family cause I will have to travel some and may get deployed still.

The schools in new market are great. That's where I live. 7 miles from Frederick.

I do all the preventative maintenance. These problems are from before i bought it.

I am not talking about the motor in your jeep currently, I am talking about the used one your getting. Just check *hit before you drop it in.

BTW, Jimmy took your advice and am running Copper Core plugs and switched from Rotella Syn to conventional so I can see if there is a difference with running the lighter weight oil.

I have 2 different styles. Both are 1" thick, have a 3.5" base, and are meant for a 7/8" d-ring/clevis pin.
