Default A year later.......


Tomorrow will be exactly a year since I bought my 4.0. In that time of literally daily driving (I managed to put 28,000 miles on the odometer) I’m happy to report I had no issues with the car (besides the gas spilling or pump shutting offat filling up [but since tuning to 93 that has somehow stopped ] and the gas indicator acting up).
I’m hoping for many more good years. I’m thinking about getting gears and LSDas a ‘anniversary’ gift…..

Nice! Get the gears and LSD.. I'd do the same... BUT.. I'm in college, and still need to pay for the car, gas.. and after exhausts + cai and tune.. I think I'll be almost drained, dont wanna spend everything I have on the car. Hope she keeps runnin' good!

I'm wondering if there’s any maintenance things I should look into, besides the annual oil change and checking the tire pressure, and I cleaning the engine bay andCAI since I got it,that’s all I do to it...

On the controll panel the gas goes to -Empty- even though there's gallons left..once the emplty light went on and I still had 5 gallos left when I went to fill up..... that does not always happen

i have the gas light problem...when ever that happens, i just shut the car off, and turn her back on.

i also have developed a gas tank problem...every once-in-a-while, the car keeps the fuel pump from filling properly.
hum...

You "college" kids using that excuse. I work 40 hours a week and am a full time student. Stop using that damn excuse..

I just recently had my fuel tank replaced for the TSB. The dealership screwed up and messed up the transfer fuel pump. I ran out of fuel on the interstate at a hair under 1/4 tank. Hopefully this doesn't happen to anyone else, but needless to say the car is never going back to that dealership.
