Bought d/m ATF for my new van, but its ATF is crystal clear!!

Drain & filled the Jeep instead, and it was murky red. HMPH! It was good a year ago. Drained it two more times. I should get a trans cooler as all the mountain runs and undergeared axle for my tires is making the trans wayy too hot.

Started prepping my Cherokee for a head gasket replacement. Just started to take some hoses and wires off, got the air-box off, not too much. My new gasket set isn't coming for a week anyway. Water pump, heater core, and thermostat coming this week. Ordered some new tires as well!

I drilled and tapped a crossmember weld nut for a helicoil insert. Coated the helicoil with JB Weld since it was still a little loose in the old weld nut.

Liar. If you were really deaf, you'd type in sign language.
