x2 on this. Welcome to altitude. And Forced Induction is really the only answer up here. More volume in the combustion chamber just means its got to find that much more air. BTW.... Turbos love it up here.

At 110k miles its running as good as it ever did...

... and MOST of the 3.8s were fine on oil consumption. The new breed of Jeeper is just more active on the forums when persuing any answer besides what the stealership or warranty trolls tell them.
