Yeah I mean I dont notice anything different. He cleared the codes a few days ago but it came back so I figure it has to he an evap leak. With work I cant get my buddy to find the leak until next week.

My 2010 Owner's Manual says to change the spark plugs at 30k so I will order them as well. It also says to check Trans/Diff fluids and Oil Filter.

My buddy thinks it is a small evap or gas leak from the line leading to the engine. He 'smoked' it or whatever to find it. Do you guys think this will be covered under the 36k mile warranty? I am only at 33k. I am afraid it won't with everything I've done to the XK? Thoughts?
He will fix it but rather me get it fixed for free....
Where exactly does he think the leak is? Towards the engine bay?
The dealer "should" fix it under warranty if that's something covered under the warranty. Lifting your XK and putting on bigger tires was not the cause of the issue your currently having. However if you take it in I'm sure they will want to take care of the recall which will result in you losing 4 low
Well last time I took it in they didnt do the recall nor did I mention it. Matt, im not exactlty sure where he thought it was but I can ask. He cleared codes again so ill wait for the check engine to come back on and maybe have my dealer just let me know ......

If the evap leak is up near the engine compartment, it should be covered under warranty. If it's on the gas tank it may be worth trying, but the pink paint and purple hearts may make them ask questions..... lol in that case you can get a new line and we'll toss the lines on one day here.
Okay lol ill see what happens. I may have to jack it up and paint those skids.

Dont you dare touch those skids!
So now my Check Engine light randomly went off? lol Will it go off even with an EVAP leak or something wrong? I was going to take it in tomorrow to my buddy but now the light just went off....ideas?
After so many restarts without condition to set the DTC it will turn off.
Fixed! Have a beer.
We smoked the XK and it was just leaking directly from the gas cap. Replaced gas cap again, and the leaking is gone. We will see if this was the true source.
It was my day off today and I was really bored. I attached a screen shot of the MS Excel worksheet I made for the Jeep's future mods.....lol

So we all know I had the small issue with the gascap leak. However, I just had the XK inspected. To sum it all up there were a lot of problems. I decided to cut my losses and traded it in on a 2011 Dodge Charger SRT8. I have to say this nearly 500hp is insane and neck jerking. I will post pics soon.
Id still love to do ridealongs at RC and beers at Matts if im still welcome..

Heres a quick cell phone pic from the dealers lot. The previous owner did a few things to it. I paid the dealer to do a complete detail including the engine!

If you would have traded in your XK without offering it to me first I would drive to your place and flatten the tires on your new vehicle!
lmao @ Adam.
Yes, a lot of learning. There has been times with my new commute to work I have thought of trading it in....I just don't think I could pull the trigger lol.....I still love the thing....and the looks I get everyday driving it lol (Makes me want 33's REALLY bad)
Check engine and check gas cap are back on as of this morning........

That cake is sick btw.
Hahah that is great man!!!
So its time to do some maintenance. Matt, when you get time could you please post the links or part number for rear brakes/pads and spark plugs?
I suppose we could change fluids? Do you think we should do just transmission or diff fluid too? I have 38k miles.

Pretty fun rental. Especially since its free. XK is in the dealer having the EVAP wires replaced.
