Shipping today my 2005 QC. It's been a ride but with it's age (184,000 mI) and my age (75) its time to pass her along to another. A great big thanks for everyone here that has made my owning her a much better experience. All the help and encouragement has meant the difference in owning...

173,000 miles on my '05 QC and still going strong. Trying to sell her as my bride needs something a lot lower, a little more mellow, and smother to ride in so probably a Chrysler 300 is in the future. Seems the market for our beasts is kinda dead after the COVID crap started. Do miss the...

21 MPG-------9 in town and 12 on the hwy = 21 here in TEXAS

I have 1https://www.heritagebooks.org/puritandoc?mc_cid=3f00657072&mc_eid=f554c36667 25,000 on my rebuild and strong as ever. But, never on the track and only use it as a DD and race a few clowns now and then. Rebuilt in Stafford Texas by the guy that builds Hennessey (I know all about...

165,000 miles on Mobil 1----15X50

Sadly, what is bad for one is a boon for another. Starting next week, I am having 30 rental RV’s towed to Odessa, TX. The higher oil prices the more stable the work force in in the Permian. Also-----sure helps me pay for the fuel in my beast.

Children, children----RED is always the fastest.

If an '05 will work you can have mine---$25,000 and ya get the whole truck.

Great idea---please continue and report progress.

Ancient ain't the word my man. After 65 the ball started down hill at mach speed. 38 yrs of 2 packs a day (stopped cold 20 yrs ago) and 30 of heavy drinking (stopped 35 yrs ago) took a very heavy toll. Some of us are just a little slow in the smarts department. I be 72 and sometimes...

Nothing new----staying under 210 and according to most of the posts here that is ok. Gonna change oil this week to 0-40 and see if that makes a difference. thanks to all for the help.

Congrats, my 1st and last Jeep was a '48 retired Army jeep. I was most likely driving a jeep before most of you guys were born. On cold hunting trips we would open the hood and warm our hands holding them over the 4 cylinder engine. They have made a few changes.

Crapola---I thought he was gonna say my generation was too old to drive the beast.
