    04 KJ Trans and towing question

    Hey all, been awhile since posting, the 3.7 KJ is doing well. My wife and I are purchasing a small 2900’- 19’ long (Cherokee Wolf Pup 14cc) trailer and I’m trying to figure out if i have the “aux” trans oil cooler. My trans only has about 20k on it as it was a new install a couple of years ago...

    A bit of a growl...

    Be awhile since I've posted, but this one has me stumped. 2004 3.7. I've got a bit of a low speed "growl" around 10-20mph. Seems to be from the rear end. I've got Wrangler Dura-trac tires, about 9 months old. OME 1.5 lift. I've had the thing off the ground, no unusual play front or rear, all...

    Been awhile... finally went JBA UCA's

    Well, for now, I think my lifting is complete. Went with the "little" OME lift a few months ago, and was pretty happy overall. I had purchased the Rocky Road Outfitters upper strut "trim plates" at the time (more on those later) but néver got them installed as I was hemming and hawing the $ for...

    Coolant question

    After reading various opinions on coolants etc. I need to know the thoughts on a specific situation. I removed my filler cap and failed to completely lock it down this weekend.(winner) All was well until I hit the four wheel road and it worked its way loose. Spilled about a gallon of coolant...

    Slight surge @ 1500 rpm

    So, I've got this bit of a surge at 15-1600 rpm and around 40mph. It only seems to occur when the overdrive shifts down. There is very little throttle at this rpm and just wonder what some thoughts may be? I've got new coils, plugs (copper) cleaned TB new TPS. Engine runs well otherwise with...

    Front top plates and JBA Y-link extension install ???

    I've done the "basic" OME lift shocks and springs. I did not install the front upper strut spacer however. I wound up with a 2.5" lift total with the front having the same basic chassis attitude as stock (lower nose). Doing this resulted in my pinion/T-case output shaft angle to be out of whack...

    Oh goody! U-joints!

    Well... looks like I get to change out some u-joints. Rear drive shaft. I've suspected all along, but after a good highway drive and a closer inspection I'm 99% sure they are shot. Front in particular. The questions I have are part number for the Dana Spicer greasable and the crimp clamps. My...

    04 lunging slightly while rolling at idle

    It seems this may be a "tranny characteristic" for Chrysler trannies. When I'm rolling into my garage very slowly at idle (flat) the truck seems to lunge, or slighty lurch a little. Otherwise drives fine, shifts fine, 4wd all works well, the truck will crawl up my (steep) driveway in 4L. This...

    3.7 characteristics?

    04 3.7-119k. Engine seems strong, smooth (relatively) and feels great. The question I have is how do these motors like to be run? Do they like to be pushed, or kind of babied? Just getting a feel for this truck and how it wants to be driven! Can't wait to get it off the pavement!:gr_grin:
