I think I.S. meant In Service. Not sure. Before Chrysler and TSBs.

Obsessive Compulsive Transfer Case Disorder. But, I like yours better. LOL.

Default me, I'm OCFD

Man I love this forum - every time I ask a question not only do I get the answer I need, but I learn something new (and often unrelated) and get a good laugh on top of it all! Thanks again!

and for me, I think I must have OCFD Obsessive Compulsive Fluid Disorder since I'm constantly checking my fluids and worrying about them. I can often be found staring, filling, draining, sniffing, poking, wiping, etc. anywhere fluid goes. that and I have a tupperware in the cargo area with at least one bottle of everything just in case. I nearly had a breakdown when I learned that brake fluid should ideally be flushed & replaced every 4 years or so due to water absorption -man that was a rough day. Not that it's a bad thing though, cuz I want my XJ to last forever!

ROFLMAO. Welcome to our asylum. I agree with you about the brake fluid flushing. If more people did that, they would have fewer brake problems in the future.

Yeah, I was amazed at how more responsive and smooth my brakes were after I gave the whole system a good flush. I was also appalled at the dark brown fluid and bits of rubber that came out of my rear cylinders when I did that first flush. I promptly put new seals in those puppies!

I tell everyone that I may seem crazy, but my flying box operates on a whole different level and if I were ever to really go insane, I'd let them drive it and see what I mean! hehehe
