    just using a jeep with a plow, to push a jeep without a transmission, so I can pull in a jeep with a locked up transmission.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    man I hope the ****** lines in the recipient jeep aren't this fouled up. otherwise I'll need to order new ones, which will piss me off.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    transmission is finally out. took 4 hours today to remove 4 bolts, 2 transmission lines (one of which broke in the fitting on the transmission), and trying to get my air hammer up in there to pound on the dowel pins to free them. also when they tell you to drain the transmission first... DO IT...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    That was way more of a pain to get out then it should have been. Broke two bolts holding the transfer case cross member in. Had to remove the four bolts that hold the transfer case to the bracket that bolt to the cross member, as the 4 bolts underneath were so totally rusted out they were never...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    grabbing the parts jeep and dragging it home tomorrow. if you don't hear from me after that, the wife killed me :D here's hoping the 06 65th anniv transmission is the same as the 06 renegade. there's no chance they used a different transmission in front of the 231 vs 242 t-cases, is there?

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Yea, but... i'm not a shop. I sold the jeep to a friend/client, knowing the trans might need some help in the future (this soon wasn't expected though!) I thought it was just a solenoid pack problem and I was going going to drop the pan/pack and try to clean it for free, even though I didn't...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    oh yea. something's locked up in the transmission. i can feel it bump when putting it in D or R, but it won't go, and RPMs will stall out at about 2000rpm when I mash the pedal. in neutral it'll do the whole 2-step deal at about 4500rpm, but if I drop it into drive it immediately pulls revs...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Engine starts up and runs fine. You can go from Park to drive and no evil noises, but no forward motivation. It won't move even if you put it in the four-wheel drive, so that tells me the transfer case isn't even receiving power. If you put it into reverse, you can hear very evil rotational...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    so... how much should I charge to pull the converter and transmission out of the parts jeep, to install into this customer's vehicle.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    oh that's not good. was hoping it was something like a blown cooler line and it pissed everything out. got no motivation forward, and makes some really EVIL rotational noises when in reverse. something tells me, the transmission just shit itself internally.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    whelp, the khaki jeep is on its way back here on a wrecker. owner says he was driving, made u-turn, and it lost all drive. engine works, can shift in and out of park, but it won't motivate. either the transmission just puked, or something in the back of my head is saying it puked its fluid, like...

    we also put sticky traps in my FiL's classic car. they've caught a couple rodents that way. of course the problem is it dies inside the car...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    you need a cat. :D seriously though, i've been using little bags containing https://www.amazon.com/dp/B005VZYCQC for a couple years now. seems to work as I have vehicles that are outside for long periods of time, and no more nests in them. I also sprinkle it on the ground under and around...

    4.10 Re-gearing - 2025

    you near NJ and have your PIN? :D alternatively, buy (and return! :D or keep, as it's actually a pretty damn good deal. if I didn't already have an Autel MS906Pro and KM100E it'd have kept it and the key programmer module.) the TopDon UltraDiag. It was able to get into my 07 and change tire...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I have a parts jeep here with the 242J in it, and the throw on the lever doesn't seem any different than in either mine (241) or the one I sold (231).

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    iPlowed. now I gotta tear it all apart and put it back into iTow configuration tomorrow, for a Wednesday trip. Looking at at least 12 hours of driving round trip, not including two stops to pick up "stuff". Also wish I could find some "cheaper" auto insurance, one that'll let me turn off the...
