    Johnny O's 2020 Rubicon Build - KHAAAAAN! the ScienceMobile II

    Congrats! We just got a 2021 Wrangler Unlimited Sport. Sarge green, black soft top and interior, 6 spd manual + 3.6L V6. It's a crap-ton of fun. Only problem on ours was the locks, windows and seats are all manual. No power anything. So my husband has added all the wiring for power locks and...

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Mine sounded like that. Cats were fine. Muffler was barely together and the front tailpipe hanger wasn't connected to the tailpipe any more.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Replaced the muffler and tailpipe a month ago, then the driver’s rear oxygen sensor. Today, replaced the compressor as a kit. Now the Jeep is as quiet as it was when I first put it on the road (the compressor pulley bearing was about to disintegrate).

    42RLE transmission suddenly won’t shift

    I have a 2005 Renegade and I removed and installed new speed sensors AFTER I installed the replacement trans and drove it around the yard. I didn’t remove the front driveshaft again.

    I would think they’d hate the smell of ATF+4. I mean, I do.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    I used 6-ton jack stands on old brake rotors. I did slide the trans under the Jeep on a piece of pressboard (from an old desk), then rock and put a block, rock and put a block…until it was high enough to slide the jack underneath.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Yep, that looks more than decent. The most important tool I acquired before removal/reinstallation was a 15” extension and universal joint adapter that I wrapped in a little electrical tape, keeping it from being too floppy. Made the upper bellhousing bolts a breeze to reach and remove. I...

    Yikes - something smashed that pretty good.

    42RLE transmission suddenly won’t shift

    The lines do. I replaced them a few thousand miles ago, also without removing the radiator. Should have replaced them when I replaced the transmission, but I didn‘t. So I replaced them when I did the pan drop and filter change. They were a little fiddly, but I didn’t even have to loosen the...

    42RLE transmission suddenly won’t shift

    My husband pulled the cooler without removing the radiator. Then reinstalled it again without removing the radiator. I mean, he does this sort of stuff every day on a much larger scale (commercial HVAC), but it is possible. I took my Liberty to the local Jeep dealer to have them do the quick...

    42RLE transmission suddenly won’t shift

    My husband said there was no way to effectively clean a 2005 trans cooler while it was on the vehicle. So we removed it and cleaned it off the vehicle, which was effective. Pull it, turn it up on end, blast trans cooler flush from the top down and then the bottom up. Turn it over, do it again...

    42RLE transmission suddenly won’t shift

    Yeah, the driveshaft doesn’t have to come out. I replaced the sensors after I’d driven the Jeep in the yard and I didn’t drop the driveshaft to do it.

    42RLE transmission suddenly won’t shift

    My ‘05 transmission went into limp mode when something inside the trans grenaded (before I got it). It only had 2nd gear. However, it also went into limp mode after I swapped in a known-good transmission because I hadn’t replaced the 2 sensors on the driver’s side with Mopar sensors. Once I did...

    42RLE transmission suddenly won’t shift

    P0700 is just the general trans error code. You need a scantool (not just a reader) that can read trans codes to find the specific codes.

    Transmission Problem

    I bought a lower-mileage trans with a small warranty from an auto recycler in MI with an indoor warehouse, installing new Mopar sensors before install. I’ve doubled the miles on my Liberty (from 79k to 150k) since I installed that trans with no trouble whatsoever. I did drop the pan and replace...

    How To: Change front driveshaft / change a driveshaft head

    If you didn't replace the heads and just wanna know what grease, it's moly.

    What did you do to your jeep today?

    Guy on another forum swears by it - his trans was starting to do the same thing, a transmission guy told him to try the LubeGard shudder fix first. He hasn’t had to do anything to the trans since - and it’s been a couple years.
