new to jeeps from east texas
 

Hey fellas..

Coming over here from the GM side..

This is my first jeep.. and my wifes second..

its a 96 cherokee sport 4x2 4.0, 99,000 miles...

I will try to get some pics up here soon.. I have only had it for a day now..

already noticing some leaks.. worn components... I have a lot of work to do.. look forward to researching the repairs and discussing and learning about jeeps...

so far I have noticed...

rear main leak
valve cover leak
oil pan leak
oil filter adapter leak (YAY already researched this one!!) :brickwall:
rear transmission seal leak
rear diff cover leak
temperature is doing some funky things...
voltage guage not reading acurate..
sticky door locks
sticky door latches
slow/sticky window motors
slow wiper motor
worn shocks
worn steering, tie rods, and ball joints
worn sway bar links

after alot of searching.. most of this seems common place

:cursing: i hope shes happy... (wife)

I am far from a newb as a mechanic... but I have never turned a wrench on a jeep before so this will be interesting... :cheers:

Welcome. To the forum.


Are u sure about the RMS?
Most of the time it's the leaks coming from the valve cover gasket that makes the rear main look like its leaking.

I poked my head under there and just took a quick look... Im going to replace the valve cover gasket... Clean up the engine top to bottom... And find the fresh fluid

Excellent plan
