Re: 1994 Trooper randoming flooding
I'm assuming you have a 3.2L engine - dohc or sohc??
When you mention, *dumps* fuel, how much are we talking? Is it raising the level on the oil dipstick?
It may be worth to pay $23 and have a UOA (used oil analysis) performed on your oil, the test would show you just how much fuel is in the oil after a reasonable amount of time, i.e. 3k miles.
More info on an oil test can be found at bobistheoilguy.com
I will say, for sure, that the dipstick on these trucks CAN and DO smell like fuel's in the oil if they are primarily city driven and not having access to speeds of 55+ mph for more then 60-90 minutes or so at least twice a month.
AND, I very highly recommend running Rotella synthetic 5w-40 in these engines with a napa gold filter - this combination is great, contains extra additives/protection, and keeps the engine cleaner then most oils.
