I believe the ESP light (not ESP-BAS) is always on when 4Lo is engaged, as ESP off (TCS off actually) is automatically activated with 4Lo. So 4Lo and ESP indicators go hand in hand. More observations before the mechanic (hope I make it tomorrow): went on a small off-road run over the weekend...

It's SelecTrac (auto transmission). First time it happened it felt like the car was momentarily not responding to gas. Then, at reoccurrence, I noticed the esp/4lo lights had come on. It occurs every now and again when in 2hi. After having parked the car in 2hi for a few hrs, when starting the...

2007 KJ 2.8CRD Ltd Auto. Had piston ring failure in #4, engine lifted out, repaired and replaced. Included transmission removal and reinstallation. 300-400 mi down the road, incl. a lot of 4Hi use (snow), felt occasional loss of power, which turned out to be the car shifting from 2Hi to 4Lo...

OK, thanks

So then, even though I do not have a lsd, I should go for a ls oil (I I understand this right, the LS additives make the oil stick to the gear surfaces)?

So you are OK with the -90, but would not go to a thinner "cold" oil (75W)? Why not synthetic? I thought viscosity is the determining factor. In other words a 75W-140 is a 75W-140 (OK, with some leeway) and synthetic will only maintain its properties longer.

I drive a 07 CRD (2.8) Ltd. At 40000mi I will be changing all gear oils (diffs, transfer, transmission). I have been recommended by the independent Jeep guy who will take care of this to fill both diffs (front/rear) w/ 75W-140 rather then the recommended 80W-90 / 75W-90 (f / r). Reason is that...

Hi guys. Do they just replace the small plastic part ir the whole mechanism? I remember reading somewhere that the repair offered by the official dealers involved the replacement of 07 windows with the non-problematic 05 version. Maybe that was the paid by the owner repair they did pre-warranty...

I don't particularly like to argue, at least no more than the next guy here (enjoying a discussion about things that interest us is a prerequisite to join a forum). That is the point. Oil and water don't mix. :icon_lol: I am confusing nothing. Did I say anywhere Rotella T6 is not...

Hi guys. Fell upon you researching for new tires. I had thought diesel Cherokees were not available in the US. Whenever I tried crossing anything the only engine available for late model KJ's was the 3.7 gas. The owner's manual does not mention a diesel option. My next oil. Although, I must...
