Me too. I just really need to figure out exactly what I want. I know I don't like stock tires on it so a little lift and some bigger tire are definitely on the list

So I just read on another thread about this FilterMag. Allegedly catches and holds minute particles to the inside of the oil filter.

Worth it or gimmick?





http://www.shopfiltermag.com/products.php



Independent Case Study (Pontiac V Engine)

To demonstrate FilterMAG's effectiveness, Westech Performance Group In Mira Loma, California was contracted to perform a series of independent tests. This respected test lab is used extensively by the high performance automotive press in the USA and true to form used a fresh 400 Pontiac high performance V8 built by Rock'n'Roll Engineering of Riverside, California. Westech performed two tests.


1. Double filter test - brand new V8 engine

This test pitted FilterMAG against two conventional filters, plumbed in series, on the initial break of the engine. The FilterMAG unit was placed on the second filter, so that all engine oil would be filtered before it was exposed to the FilterMAG. After only 15 minutes of low engine-speed operation (the engine never went more than 2,500 rpm) significant amounts of steel particles, as small as 2-micron, were collected in the 575-lb magnetic force field on the interior wall of the filter canister.

2. Single filter test - near new V8 engine

In this test, the dual oil filter test rig was removed allowing oil to flow through the stock oil filter arrangement. In this phase of the test the carburetor and timing were adjusted and several full power dyno pulls were performed for approximately 3 hours of engine operation. After the test session, the oil filter canister was cut open for inspection. The result was a serious accumulation of steel particles in the magnetic force field of FilterMAG.

These tests show clearly that FilterMAG removes steel particles that conventional paper element filters miss.

This was demonstrated in the first test as the particles captured by FilterMAG passed through the paper filter before being caught. The second test demonstrated that FilterMAG has the magnetic energy required to retain particles against the flow rate of oil encountered in the filter canister and under all normal engine operating conditions.

The picture of a cut open filter with a FilterMAG still attached demonstrates a build up of thousands of metal particles from 2 to 30-micron that passed through the oil filter.

This is a critical feature of FilterMAG, since other products do not have the sheer force to retain captured particles against the significant speed and power of the oil flow.

This is the crucial point. If the magnetic force of the device is not sufficient to retain the particles against the oil flow, then those particles will be reintroduced into the lubrication system when the engine is running.

What's the point? You really believe better filtration will extend today's engine life? Gimmick for sure. Engine oil cooler will be more beneficial than that crap. Just saying.

I've seen various iterations of those through the years. Never knew anyone that tried one though.

This guy says he got 147k out of his 4.0 6er without any 'visible or measurable sign of wear'. And the failure was a piston due to his fault (fuel starvation) - not due to miles on the engine.
But he hasn't reponded yet when I asked if he actually mic'd anything.

Geez - when I shoot clay birds at trap or skeet, I always shoot them when they're in the air - not when they're placed on a fence post.

147k is not impressive at all. Thing should go 200k easy with normal oil change intervals. Just about everything out there now should clock 200k easy with normal maintenance. Especially with the new synthetics. Show me 400k proven and ill think twice.

This is how he shoots skeet

The only thing I don't like about Jeeps is that they're so underpowered. And the more they weigh the worse it is.

They're a lot peppier now. They got that new 3.6 that Chrysler is using last year. I think its close to 300 hp, and seems like I read that 0-60 on them is in the 6 second range.

The old Wrangler I had had the 4.0 in it. I can't remember, I think it was a '94. I didn't really have it too long cuz he got the Jeep and I got the palace

I thought I read something about that but need to read more about it
