My "new" 91 cherokee has a button that has a pic of a tranny on it... can anyone tell me what this does?? Thank You!!!

 

sounds like it could be the "power" and "comfort" switch.

 

Power/Comfort switch
Adjusts the shift points.

Newer ones are locked in "Power", Just put it there and leave it.

 

I believe you may be refering to the tranny "power" button. It is on the right side of the steering column closest to the column. If you engage this buton your transmission will hold the shift points longer and give you more power. If you leave it disengaged you will get better fuel economy.

 

awesome... that sounds right.... any opinions on which setting to leave the truck in... basically, light on or off?? just wondering if either option messes the tranny up faster...

 

Ive heard from a few people that the TCU "Feathers" the clutches in "Comfort" for a softer shift and it wears the clutches faster. Dont know if its true or not, I never take mine out of power.

Also, the "better fuel economy" thing is commonly argued.

 

It changes the shift points. When in comfort it shifts at lowers rpms and in power it shifts at higher rpms.

 

When driving around town I leave mine in comfort. When I am out on the trail of towing a load I put it in power.

 

I keep mine in power all the time, FWIW.

 

X2.....The only time I switched it to power, was pulling a trailer through some pretty hilly country side. Also listed in the owners manual.

 

Thanks for all the input guys!!! I will definately be coming back here for more knowledge on my new toy.... guess I will post a build thread once I start... first thing was first though, tighten down the valve cover bolts that were loose...PO said it was leaking oil, wonder why...lol

 

gotta love morons

 

i paid 1,200 for it... i guess it was a fair deal... I know jeeps keep resale value very well... it has 204k... I put it in 4h and 4l last and everything works.. the 4l is feels realy strong... probably geared lower than im used to... anyways, im just talking on here because im excited about my new toy... Thanks guys!!!!

OBTW, any opinions on what I should do to it in order to fit 33's?? I dont have a welder so cant make my own parts... wanna spend around 500 or less.... Thanks!!!

 

What? No "flux capacitor" jokes? No "turbo boost" barbs? You guys are slipping!

 

to fit 33's first we gotta know what kind of wheeling you want to do or if it will be a pavement princess?
