Lightweight fiberglass hood/bonnet for the KJ?
Over here you have to put $5000+ to make it to 100k and than expect to drop another $5000-$10,000 to make it much past that. That has been the general consensus from LOST CRD section over the last 10 years.- tjkj2002

Transmission temp warning
Off road + slow speeds + hilly terrain(or sand) = 4low More so if you have the 42RLE trans. The extra gear reduction keeps the engine revs up(better cooling) while reducing the load on the engine. In Colorado the KJ's with the 42RLE would often get the trans over temp light going to...- tjkj2002

Switch the rear diff Chrysler 8.25 by DANA 35 ?
The D35 that came with very early '02 KJ's(4 banger gas only) is a bastard version and very weak due to the alterations to make the speed sensor work.No regular D35 parts work on it,not even the gear set. The D35 is very weak,pathetically weak under a 3200lbs XJ or TJ.Now add 800-1000LBs+ the...- tjkj2002

Does anyone know the book time to replace a E-brake
Depends. The whole parking brake assembly requires the axles to be pulled and if I remember right it calls for about 3 hours,double that if replacing the cables also. And JasonJ is correct your vehicle is not the only 1 being worked on.Some days I'm working on 5 or more vehicles at the...- tjkj2002

As for...- tjkj2002

DIY transmission flush?
Than it's not a Chrysler dealership,they must use the correct fluid as it would be the only fluid they have in bulk.They may use the BG chemicals which you are confusing as ATF,eitherway just decline the chemical cleaner for a straight fluid swap. Doing it the way you want to do it is messy...- tjkj2002

if the compressor clutch will not engage both high and low sides will read at about ambient temp.Plus pressure readings can not tell you if the system is low or fully charged. The one and only way to tell if the system is low or not is to evac the system and weigh what came out and should be...- tjkj2002

Running a little hot at idle...
Can't do that with a '02,newer KJ's with the 2 speed fan yes but not the older with 1 speed. "02's use a single speed fan and that relay is for a Grand Cherokee not a Liberty. Get the updated one from the dealership.- tjkj2002

Is it 42RLE or 45RFE?
Sad to say this guy is right. Some '03 KJ's could have the 42RLE with a separate TCM on the right fender. '03's also could have 1 or 3 different exhaust systems.It was a transition year from the 45RFE to the 42RLE. The only 100% sure way to tell is to get underneath and look at the trans.- tjkj2002
