Re: How to start DIY
All must be done according to your owner manual's schedule. This TJ's
would be very close to yours: * w w w .billhughes . com /lubeSchedule.pdf
Using a major gasoline will keep the injectors and Positive Crankcase
Ventilation systems clean.

Read, read, read, ask, then do.

Good bottle of Chevron Techron into the
gas tank just before you pump gas into it.
> Engine Decarb
Not so easy, but with todays fuels you usually
don't have to do this.
> oil change
Just need the correct tools and an oil catch pan.
Helps to have a torque wrench so you don't strip
the bolt.
> tire rotation
Little more complicated, you need the jacks and
stands, plus a torque wrench for getting the lugs
back on properly.
> manual tran service
I'd give this to the pros, but that depends on what
you need done.
> spark plugs
easy. Again you should get the correct tools and
a torque wrench. Always use a wire gauge gapping
tool.

Re: How to start DIY
Bill, why are you being a total asshole by changing your online name again?
You figure we want to see more of your insanity?
Just go away, you have lost your mind and I for one am not interested in
reading posts by insane people.

It's all hard if you have to ask.
Fuel injector cleaning is pouring a can of injector cleaner into the gas
tank, or having it pumped directly into the injector rail.
Engine decarb is where you suck a cleaner through an unused vacuum port on
the intake manifold. Transmission fluid works good here, but makes a huge
cloud of smoke that your neighbors may not appreciate. Water seems to work
as well, and creates fewer complaints.
I'm not going to talk about an oil change. If you can't do this without
asking, you should not be doing any of this.
Tire rotation. See my comments on the oil change.
Manual transmission service is a bit of a PIA. You need to remove a drain
plug from the bottom of the transmission and a fill plug from the side. When
the draining is done, put the drain plug back in and fill through thte fill
hole until the fluid spills out, then put the fill hole plug back in.
Spark plugs are right up there with rotating tires and changing oil -- if
you gotta ask ...
