I love my Jeep!!!!!!!
 

Just bought this 1996 with 129k 3 months ago. I have had to repair a few little things but. Last friday I hit a bad chuck hole in atlanta and the transmission started to rummmble. I could not find much at first and had a very busy weekend to attend too. So I just keep driving. I went home to north of woodstock, Pack our camping gear and headed off to the mountains with my son. We camped at the Scout reserve and had a great weekend. The Trans still making noises all the way up and all the way back. Then I went to work monday, tuesday and then today and the Cooing line for the transmission broke completely. I have been driving for 5 days with little to no transmission fluid. I love this jeep. Fixed (TEMP) with 6 inch hose and plan to replace both lines this weekend. It true you cant stop a Jeep.

Thanks JonF for the help! New to the site but not so new to XJ's.

Thank you for the tips, I look forward to figuring the site out, and learning about Cherokees. I just bought a 1995 Cherokee "country" edition 165,000k. I'm a first time jeep owner and have lots of questions.

thanks bro

still cant figure this out. not user friendly at all

actually that was actually really easy I feel dumb now

I have been on this forum for a bit and i would like to get a picture on my account so when i post something a picture of my jeep comes up below my posting. Any help?

Not the right place for this. This is for learning how to post threads and replies.

To answer your question its in your user control panel, and must be done from a computer.

From user CP you will look on the left for 'Edit Avatar Pic" or something along those lines.

thanks for the help brotha, i had a newbie question so i just thought this was the appropriate thread, my bad

Thanx 4 the tips.
