160k and no overheat till the other morning. Then it was kinda spectacular. Shows the classic signs of a gasket gone bad. I am not looking fwd to tearing it down. Already budgeting to put fresh heads on it as well.

Looks like a head gasket has bought it. At the very least, I have an issue with combustion pressure making it into the cooling system. Also lots of water out the tail pipe. Oh yea ME!

Martin, All is well in my Libby world again. It seems the torque converter was the issue. Can tell the trans is fresh. So today I changed the bad O2 sensor and did the plugs. Then drove it!

back to the Op, I wish you two good luck with this endeavor. It would be a worth while upgrade.

No argument, just a counter point. So would a dog or cat in the drivers lap be distracting? To whom then?

thermostat?

I will still say they are linked, jmo though. Maybe cause I drive around every so often and monitor the sensor outputs in real time, under load As a some what quick check of the coils. Clear the CEL, swap The #3 and #4 coils and the #5 and #6 coils. See if the code follows from 3&5 to 4&6. If...

My wife has this same problem with her both of her daughters. One has a bad pressure switch in the power steering pump(idle bump up). Known for the past two years. Cant find the $27 to fix it. She bitches about how poor her car runs. If she would buy the switch, I would put it in. Cant do that...

An awful lot of cars have an oil level sensor these days. Our 98 Lexus has one. Wife asked why there were two oil lights in the dash cluster.

That would be THE Chair Force! Mom's Air Corp became Aint My Command. Spent my time in avionics on (M)C130 and MH53.

I test drove a 2wd 05 dressed like that. Bought the 06 4wd.

The first two and last two are related. Both of the downstream O2 sensors are bad. Downstream is the after the Cat (sensor 2). P0137 is Bank 1 (left Cat) second sensor. P0172 caused by the above fault P0157 is Bank 2 (right Cat) second sensor. P0175 caused by the above fault

brought my Libby home from the Trans shop.

sorry, ex Moms Air Corp.

must refuse to, cant stop... "Whats your rate?" minimum wage.

here goes.. Another bad Torque Converter. Jeep fixed no CEL codes. Senario is the Trans computer triggered "limp home" mode. Told the Engine computer to "not hurt" itself. Thus the cutting out some spark. Dunno for sure, cause the books do not tell you what happens when it goes into "limp...

Not getting the run around as of yet. I do know he is getting very frustrated though. Yes, I trust this shop. Very good reputation and has had such for a very long time. He has not tried to hand it off to me.

I dont have the jeep at this point. Trans shop does. This is something that has popped up since they have had it. The trans, in the last three weeks, has been in and out three times. When I talked to him on friday, no mention of this when he test drove it. Had issue with trans to fix. Yesterday...

Cold is relative. I grew up in Minnesota, fond memories of having snowball fights in shorts and t-shirts at 33 degrees
