  5. Shifter consold issue

    Ok, this issue is strange, so bare with me. 06 LJ automatic. I have this issue mostly when it's cold or really wet. When shifting into any gear, the shifter feels "crunchy"....feels like there's ice or broken glass inside the console. Also, when this happens, sometimes my key won't turn all...

  9. Power/drivetrain issue

    The only way to describe the issue is there are times when it feels the drivetrain is fully engaged and all the power from the engine is getting to the wheels. There’s a strength to the acceleration, and you can feel the torque of the engine when accelerating. At other times the engine is...

  10. Transmission Woes

    Sunday, on my way home from work, I noticed the tranny slipping. Then I heard what sounded like a power steering pump low on fluid, and it really started acting goofy. This is the first issue I have had from the transmission, so I pulled the code. P0700, General Transmission Problem. I was...

  12. Derale Transmission Cooler

    After seeing some high transmission temperatures (especially in the mountains), I decided to install the Direct Fit Derale trans.cooler (20561). It's a good kit, designed for the average DIY. If I had to do it again, I would probably get a more generic one (and cheaper) and figure out how to mount...

  15. floppy shifter temporary fix.... and question

    OK so over the weekend I was wheeling and the dang cable jumped off of my automatic shifter lever in the middle of a long rocky descent. Jeep was stuck in 4Lo and 1st gear and the lever just flopped around. I know it is common for the cable to pop off underneath the jeep, but this was at the top,...

  16. Tuner and "Stuff"

    I just got a job at a local stereo shop. They are in a nationwide buyers group for parts. I found out that I can obtain items for my vehicles at 10% above our cost. My LJ has 35's, and needs the speedo reprogrammed. I can take it to the dealer and pay to, or I can buy a tuner that will do it. ...
