i think that the torque converter keeps some dirty fluid and when running the truck it mixes with the new one, and it gets brown again. i hope it still running for a long time haha.

i really dont know, it could be malfunction or just old, beacause i didnt service it for a long time. . people had just told me that it will just work for 2 or 3 months because the metals and some parts are done, thats why the filter was full of sht. hope they are wrong.

i have not update because i did something WRONG
i installed incorrectly the track-bar, so i wasnt very happy with the upgrade. i hear wired noises and was very tought the front suspension. but a friend of mine told me that... the adjustable part it is supossed to be on the diferential bracket not on the unibody, so this weekend i´ll correct that and i´ll tell you how i like it.

i thought the same when i installed it, becaues most of the adj, track bars are mounted to the unibody, rubicon, clayton etc... but a friend of mine send me the instructions, so i read them.
here the link and some pics.

That's weird, haha That's a horrible design. You should call them and ask them how you are supposed to tighten the jam nut. lol
