210 is normal.

Damn, i just realized your in Chicago. If gas were cheaper I'd come down and help.

 

You have no idea the trouble this jeep has been giving me recently!
But Thanks for the offer, and I feel your pain with the gas

 

Of all the vehicles I've owned mine has been the most stupid simple of them all.

Super easy to work on. Maybe I'm just getting really lucky.

 

Yeah I misread that earlier. My bad

 

Jeeps apart, managed to break the tensioner pulley bolt -_-.
But Ok im going to bump this back up since I am waiting for a ride for the t-stat.


What else would make the trans froth up fluid like that?
I was noticing that the trans hasnt been responding like it should especially on cold starts. Which makes me think the fluid was constantly low.

I topped it off everytime I thought to check it and it was low everytime.
So anyone with an idea please help me out please!

I hope I dont have to loose yet another job because of this jeep

 

Let me add, yes I did check it in neutral while running.
And last time I topped it off (yesterday) it was at operating temperature

 

Would no fluid come out vent on tranny b4 dipstick tube.

 

I would check the vent tube on the trans to start.

If the vent tube is blocked or clogged, the trans can't vent any pressure build up. If it can't vent, the pressure has to go somewhere. The dipstick tube is going to be the easiest place to release the pressure.

Also, if your T-Stat were stuck closed, the Jeep would over heat. Seriously overheat. If you can drive it for a while and it stays a shy over 210, you're fine. If thermostat were stuck closed completely, you would peg the temp gauge very quickly because no coolant is cycling through head and block and the engine continues to build heat.

If the vent tube is open and not blocked, but you still have trans fluid that is basically getting hot and boiling out of the dipstick, you probably have a trans cooler line to the radiator blocked.

 

Did this involve deep water/mud ? and were things change b4 or after issue?

 

What does dip stick say park or neutral ?

 

Honestly the vent tube is tucked under the car on top of the trans somewhere. I will go check that out now
Thanks!

But why would this make it get all bubbly? and frothy?

Alright thats good to know, Guessing its the headgasket making the heat issue. I can feel its hotter than normal even heat off it still gets really hot by both front footwells.

Hoping this isnt the case, Would it be alright to use compressed air to clear out the lines im guessing?

Nothign was changed, But it was a little muddy and I can honestly say I might of bottomed out over somethings. My muffler is flapping around.

But I noticed it when I got home after the lone 3+ hours of driving (with a full car of dudes)
Parked it on my driveway and surprise trans fluid spilling everywhere.
Which is why I originally thought it was just the level was high.

I just checked and it does say "check while in neutral, while hot"
Thats how I have been checking it

 

Have you looked under at tranny pan at all?

 

On level ground of course .

 

Yup! Made sure the ground was level I parked in my garage to make sure.
And the trans pan has a new gasket when the trans went in about 4 months ago.

All I see is fluid coming from the dipstick and I only notice it when the car is off.
But it may of happened at idle after highway speeds now that I think of it.
(noticed smoke at the time, today noticed trans fluid spilling on exhaust)

Starting to sound more and more like a vent tube

 

I meant for damage to pan ....
