Thanks

 

The tranny pan on my '93 XJ was a trip to west hell on a hot afternoon.....
The dipstick tube is ATTACHED to the pan... I hung onto it for all I was worth to dislodge it... If it aint leaking... leave it... It has a drain plug.. drain and fill until its nice and cherry looking... it took me about 6 changovers b/c the oil had not been changed often enough.
ATF is cheap insurance.. when the oil wears out it causes slippage.. ATF is supposed to maintain friction to prevent slippage... Good Luck....Kirk out...

 

Every 30,000 miles and you don't drop the pan. It's got a screen, not a filter.

 

^^^^^^ The filter is just a thin screen

I knew you would

 

I need to do a COMPLETE flush of my 4.0's coolant system. The conventional driveway method is not cutting it. Can someone explain the use of the block's drain plugs to me? I can't seem to find a write up or video.

 

There's 2 of them on the driver's side of the block. 5/16" square drive.

 

Yea, I gave up changing screens and battling transmission pans on the AW4. Never did find any crud in them.
If I drain one and its chunky or has particulate, then I will reconsider.

 

My t-case gets stuck in 4wheel high part time. Could a fluid change fix this?

 

Are you shifting properly

 

Doubtful if it's full.

But, if you've never checked the level and fluid condition, that's another story.

Sycoglitch asks a very important question.....

 

So after doing all my front and work and putting the new front tires on I've developed a slight wobble at around 35-45 mph. It goes away at any speed above or below that range. Its not bad, but I'm sure it will get worse if I don't address the problem. As far as what ive done to the front, is as follows: all new pads, rotors, upper and lower ball joints, hub assemblies, wheel u joints, tre's and rod, drag link, fixed lca's, 4.5" lift coils, f350 sway bar links with new bushings, steering stabilizer, and shocks. I'm getting an alignment done next week but my driveway alignment has the toe 1/8-1/4" inward so I'm good there. Tires where balanced when I had them put on Friday, and I'm running 26psi. Any ideas?

Edit: I guess its more of a shimmy than wobble, slight side to side shimmy in the steering, and you can feel it in the peddles as well.

 

This is the exhaust manifold I want right? 99 4.0

It's the dorman with flex pipe. I've heard reports of that all stainless one that's available and without flex pipes won't always fit right. I don't want to deal with that. Any other parts I need for this repair? Is there a gasket between the manifold and the mating piece of the downpipe?

 

Many of them don't fit "right".

The issue is that the header collides with the intake manifold at the head. The solution is to take your time and file the intake manifold as needed. Easy 5 minute job.
