Yeah, I did the o-ring replacement and it increased my m.p.g. to 22 hwy driving. I also had to adjust the back brakes, had a weak spring.

Have you had any issues with engine noise, such as lifter-push rod tapping? I took over a 1999 4.0L with 105,000 miles and it seems to have an oiling problem. I have had success with engine cleaners on a 1992 4.0L with poor oiling at 157,000 miles, but this 1999 4.0L seems to be harder to flush out.
