Driving around with all the windows open i still got heat from shift boot, transmission tunnel carpeting, and ebrake area. What gives its not burning hot but its annoying in 85 degree heat... anyone else got the same deal?

Running 31x10.5s with no lift. 4x4 works ignore the sig. i did the actuator mod to engage front diff all the time like 91up XJ's what gives here

 

I get that to,I think its normal.Got the same thing on my full size truck to.

 

yeah im wondering if its the tranny...i still got the BA/10 1st and second grind lol

 

is the shifter boot ripped at all? if it is it will let in more heat

 

mine does it too, AW4 trans. hot as heck in the summer. oh well.

 

yeah it seems pretty normal im going to do some inspecting and see why its getting as warm as it is...maybe i can weld in a heat shield or something it just may be the transfercase as well...rear floors get warm. I'm actually working on the rig tonight ill check after i test drive it

 

if you find a way to keep it cool, post it up. every xj owner would love to know.

 

i think its normal to i have that on my xj ive had it on my exploder and my zj and my old man has it on his f 250 and expidition

 

one word, dynomat

 

x2 on dynomat. works good but a b***H to get off!

 

Have you experienced a loss of power? If so you my have a bad CPS or worse a broken flexplate. This could cause the Jeep to run rich and turn your exhaust into a blow torch. Happened to me.

 

Mine doesn't get hot. I even tried to feel around the transmission tunnel area for any heat, I didn't feel anything.

 

x4 on that one...i put it under my 4x4 shifter...i used to use it as a personal shifter hand heater...it is awesome in the winter...but no more

 

i was under the truck the heat comes from the tranny i got a 5 speed ba 10 piece of yeah so about 30 mins after letting car cool off the trans was still pretty warm. t/c was cool. Fabbing up a heat shield would be ideal but unless it was a 2 piece it looks like it would be a pain to get over the trans i didnt really look into it too much

 

I'm impressed that you can squeeze in 31x10.50's w/o a lift! Mine is hot too, wife *****es about it all the time.......
