Re: milage on xj
Your buddy in the diesel doesn't want to be called a fool, so he
lies.

Re: milage on xj
Sorry Bill, my 2000 XJ had a Chrysler 8.25 with limited slip, no less...
I'll have to dig for pics.. Really wish I'd have kept that instead of my TJ.
Oh well.

Re: milage on xj
I've seen the dyno printout but I have to take his word on the mileage
because I was holding onto the passenger seat for dear life and didn't
get a good look at the mileage computer.
In line at the dyno:
http://mojo1578.smugmug.com/gallery/1415277/2/67342208
Blowing smoke out the door:
http://mojo1578.smugmug.com/gallery/1415277/2/67342217
"494 RWHP and 1034 ft lbs of torque"
I've never seen another vehicle that can boil 38" tires like that
thing. Turbos, injectors, pumps, propane, water injection,
computers... It's just not right.

Just so you know a diesel truck with a turbo will get no better
than about ten miles to the gallon at highway speeds:
