    Transmission temperature sensor

    Thats the bigger transmission cooler. Did you have to remove the bumper to install the trans cooler?

    AC refrigerant leaking from black tube after being charged

    Dang, thats a bad day. Everyone talks about how horrible removing the dash is but honestly, its just time consuming, its not hard. Ive replaced the evap in three Jeeps, no biggie.

    8.25 4.10 gears wtb

    I'm not aware of any XJ's that have a 5x5 lug spacing. If you decide to buy new gears, I went with Nitro gears and I dont believe I would recommend them. I made 100% sure that my pattern was spot on and I still get gear noise around 70mph. Ive always read Yukon is a crap shoot since they just...

    Rust from the inside

    Take that cover off the rocker, I'd say they have holes in them. I washed my KJ OFTEN and never let salt sit on it, my rockers still have rust. If I had known it was an issue, I would have coated the inside of the rockers the day it rolled off the lot. The WJ's of that era suffer the same...

    steering liquid cooler

    It came on KJ's if it had the towing package or offroad package. Whether or not it was a limited or not didnt matter. The cooler is on the return line, so no need to have anything fabricated. You can use any rubber hose that will resist power steering fluid.

    Blackstone report

    I believe Moly is just part of the oils additive package, I wouldn't worry about it. Not sure about the magnesium. On the silicon, that can be a crappy air filter or an air filter thats not sealed well. I had a very high silicon content on one of my ZJ's and they said to check the filter. While...

    A/C starts cold then gets warmer

    Without properly diagnosing it, were just taking guesses. You need to have a set of gauges to properly check the pressures and even then, its best to evac the system to see if it has/had the correct amount of refrigerant in it. With that, mine was doing something similar and it was a bad low...

    Intermittent shaft

    That doesn't appear to be the correct intermediate shaft. 5066057AB is the correct part number...

    11 miles per gallon.....it's not good, but is it bad?

    The 3.7/4.7 was designed in the 90's, fuel mileage wasn't really a concern back then. Other than when it was bone stock, mine has always gotten ~17-18mpg at its best... I dont believe it has ever gotten 11 but Ive never driven it purely in the city. Heck, it gets 15mpg towing a 3000 camper at...

    KJ general reliability information

    Ive had mine since new and have had very few issues with it. It only has ~130k but Ive taken very good care of it. The 3.7 and 42rle do not seem to take kindly to abuse or lack of maintenance. The 3.7 likes to drop valve seats and some believe overheating them can cause it while others say it...

    Trail Cooling fans HD plus 1.

    What do you mean you want to keep the manual clutch as a last resort? Im not understanding that. Once i added the HD cooling, my electric fan only kicks on when using the A/C or the trans is getting hot. It has never kicked on otherwise. Also, keep in mind, the HD cooling also included a...

    AC not blowing cold

    The A/C should still work even though its pulling in outside air. You'll certainly notice a decrease in performance, but it will still work. I actually prefer outside air if other people are in the vehicle. I get a bit claustrophobic when Im in close quarters with other people.

    Transmission temperature sensor

    Describe what sort of mountain pass you're going up. Its a well known fact that the 42rle is easy to overheat. If this mountain pass is slow speeds and you're not using 4low, its possible that its just overheating. The stock aux cooler isn't enough for anything other than normal driving. The...

    Differential vs. Transmission Speed Sensors

    Typically its a bad wiring harness on top of the rear diff. Mopar use to (and they may still) make a repair pig tail to fix the issue.

    Liberty down after flat tow

    Flat towing with the trans in N risks destroying the transmission. Even through the tcase is in N, the tcase can still turn the output shaft on the trans and since the oil pump is not being turned in the trans, there is no oil flow within the trans.

    Liberty down after flat tow

    Yes it does, it needs to be in P.

    Ball jointed sway bar links

    I'd say that stiffened it up a bit. Later ZJ's came with something similar but the ball joints always go bad.

    Rear Wiper Blade Assistance.

    That's one thing that always amazed me, my original rear wiper still works perfect. I rarely used it when I was DD'ing the kj though. I see some people driving on sunny days with their rear wiper on....

    Problem after freeze.

    This question has been around since 2002. Cheap oil and short trips will make it a bit worse, otherwise, ignore it.

    Do you have a Curt 13044 Tow Hitch - Trailer Hitch on your KJ, please?

    I removed the hitches from my Jeeps and had new recall hitches installed. At the time, they were also giving away $100 visa cards so I made some decent money. If you wanted, you could remove the rusty hitch and see if Jeep will install a new one. The drawtite hitch that I put on my liberty in...
