Yes, its in raytown on 350. It has the giant ford monster truck in front. Amazing shop always busy but honest and quality. Father in law had e4od ford bronco transmission rebuilt there and its perfect now.
If interested i'll get shop name tomorrow

To be honest I really dont know what the problem was, my guess is an air bubble in the system that didnt want to come out. I took her to a shop and they had her for about a week, did a pressure test and the over heating stopped.
Baconator- If you could get the shop name that would be great, I do know exactly where you are talking about though and its good to know they have quality associated with their shop.

I know how you feel, my whole transmission decided to kill itself right after I just got my Jeep running again. I am going to rebuild my transmission just because I bought a used one once and its already gone out(had it for about 7-8 months) but I would def look at craigslist like suggested already

You need a 4wd tranny, transfer case, front axle, front shaft, different rear shaft, all the linkages for the tc. And since you have to pull the front axle you may as well do a lift at the same time and a sye because you will have the transfer case out of the jeep
