    Okay some good news. After clearing the codes because I'm an idiot and didn't make sure one of the connectors was clicked in all the way, I recycled the power on the Jeep and it comes up with no error codes in either the ECU or the tcu. Yes I know, it's the same damn module, but it split...

    dead trans has 140k. VLP trans came out of a 174k vehicle, so maybe it's that used? it worked great on the drive back from storage, and I sent a sample of fluid off to blackstone-labs to get a reading on the internals. it didn't look great, but unlike the 140k trans, it didn't smell bad and...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    While investigating why I now have two wheel speed sensors out, I've discovered that a good portion of my passenger frame rail as decided exit the chat. I touched the rusty spot and a good foot of the rail fell out of the car.

    What did you do to your jeep today?
