KJ ****** dipstick?

[biggie]

Did the KJ series of Liberty use a ****** dipstick? Our '08 KK does not and I'd feel a lot more secure if I could find something that would work to establish reference for fluid level. Going to dealer to "plug in" when I'm out in the boonies is not an option!!!

Earlier model KJs did have a trans dip stick, later did not not the KKs
get used to life where they control even your fluid level :rotflmao:

Does it have a fill tube? You might be able get one from an older KJ, like 06 or older.

BTW, I'm over in La Crosse!

They changed the fill level for the '07 KJ and '08+ KK's so a older dipstick and tube will not read correctly.


They took them away since no one could seam to read and use the correct ATF.

It's OK if it doesn't read as indicated on the stick. I'm just looking for a reference. It does have a tube but it's plugged.

The jeep srt8 doesnt have a dip stick either which i find wild. You can order a miller tools 9336a that is 'universal.' It wouldnt stay in the tube since the top would stick out. Im going to get one for the srt8.

Off topic, but didn't know you had an SRT. ics-****:

Got a dipstick and tube ordered for an'06. About $37 my cost total-I get wholesale pricing. It uses the same trans and should give a good reading but I will make note of the initial reading warmed up in neutral, etc, etc.

Glad to hear you got something that will work for your needs.
