I was saving up 300$ for a bored tb, a magnaflow cat, and some replacement injectors, and today on my way to pick up my gf my "Check Guages" light came on and my battery was at 9v.So it turned out I needed a new alternator.$150 out the door!Atleast I got one good thing out of it; I replaced all my negative and postitive wire with 4 guage wire and did the "Big 3" setup.But damn it still sucks for my upgrades.

Jeeps smell money for planned upgrades.

Most parts on cars and trucks have a average mileage life expectancy,But most people never change things tell they break which can get pricey if the wrong part gives out.Whens the last time your jeep had a full tune up?

Full Tuneup Including:Cap, rotor , Wires ,Plugs,airfilter, flushed radiator and engine block; within the last 6 months.But I'm thinking of buying all new fluids for the jeep with the leftover money.I'v never changed the diff. fluid, and I know I need to change the tranny fluid already, so that might be a big improvement, hopefully it spikes up some mpg's.

Rebuilt alts can be had for around $60.

Well actually the one I baught was a reman. and it comes with a lifetime warranty, so its no biggie.Got it from AutoZone
