That stinks man. I'm going to pay extra attention to this.

I'm with you on this. I don't trust AI in general, however I do think it's good as "yet another opinion". I've been using Valvoline ATF+4 for some time now. Since I bought that fluid extractor I've changed the trans fluid (well, half at a time) every other oil change. My Jeep still runs...

Here's where Permatex talks about the need for a pressurized can:

I asked Chat GPT, and it told me that this is likely a bad torque converter. Not sure if this is just AI telling me what it thinks I want to hear, or if this is legit, but it sounds good:

I did some research on the pressurized can. From what I've read, the reason they use a can is because the gasket goo is too thick for a person to squeeze out of a tube. I think I'll probably go with the tube, 90 minutes is not too long of a wait if things have really gone sideways.

2005 Jeep Wrangler 4.0L with a 42RLE transmission. Symptoms: Loud whine when on the gas. Really easy to hear at 40mph and above, and if I let off the gas to coast the sound goes away. The sound stops for a moment as the jeep downshifts, and it almost sounds like it grinds / growls to a stop...

I'm always building out my trail bag with tools and emergency spares. This Feb we're planing on another wheeling trip seven hours from home, so I'm revisiting things. I think some gasket maker would be a good addition to my trail bag, but I'm in between two choices: Permatex The Right Stuff...

Wonder if you have a leak in your fuel lines somewhere.

That's great man. I've been changing my trans fluid with every other oil change. Just sucking out the fluid in the pan and adding new with my fluid extractor. I also have an after market trans cooler in front of my radiator. From everything I've heard, the 42rle will be the first thing to go...

I went over the weekend and helped my buddy swap his front axle out. Took us from 9:00 a.m. until 7:30 at night, but we got it done. We still need to do the rear axle but I think that's for another weekend We ended up swapping in new axles instead of trying to rebuilding the old one. Because...

If replacing the TIPM worked temporarily, I'd keep pulling at that thread. Perhaps you have a bad connection / ground somewhere along those lines. I would get some electronics cleaner and clean all the connections you can, including the ground on your battery cables.

Here's another, maybe easier question: Assuming there's a broken tooth on the ring gear or pinion, would it be safe to remove the ring gear from the carrier, and reinstall the carrier. Essentially making his Jeep two wheel drive? That way he could drive it again until we get parts.

One of the guys I wheel with is in a bit of a spot, and I'm heading up next weekend to help him wrench on his Jeep. It looks like the Dana 30 font axle on his 2016 JK was full of mud, and the gears / front tires locked up. He was driving home when it happened and said it was terrifying. He...
