Advice needed changing torque converter fluid
I am redoing a 99 Cherokee for my wife and am about ready to put the new engine in. Should I change the fluid in the torque converter while I have the engine out or let good enough be. The Jeep has 120K on it also is their any thing else I should be checking while I got the engine out.

I'd leave it. Did you remove the TC? If so, be darn sure you have it seated correctly to the trans before stabbing the engine in.

I did not think about the lines thanks, I did steam clean the entire engine bay then I followed up with a phosphoric acid rinse to eliminate any rust. No I did not remove the torque converter I figured I would ask before I removed it. How long is the fluid in the converter good for.

It circulates in and out with the rest of the trans fluid.
