Hey 
Wouldn't you know it, the first day in a week that I've had off where I've got NO previous plans, and it rains....I was gonna change the oil in my Cherokee if it'd have been dry out.
That oil's been in there since '05, but it's only got a couple thousand miles on it since it sat til the first part of '09. Shell Rotella T and a Wix filter, still gets 40-50psi oil pressure.

lol. I think before we got the Cherokee back on the road, we maybe put 25 miles on it. All we did was drive it up the street and back now and then, and drove it like 10 when we moved.
I want to hurry and change the valve cover gasket soon, it leaks a bit and makes a mess. And it stinks too, it drips oil in such a way that it gets on both the exhaust manifold (or header, I should say...those 4.0Ls had headers) AND the exhaust pipe under the motor and transmission. Stinks to high heaven.
Once I get it all fixed and I'm sure everything's sealed up, I'm gonna take some Engine Brite or a pressure washer or something to the whole thing and get all the years of gunk off it. Then I can work on it without looking like a coal miner. lol
