Default Got three questions for you guys

1) What can and cant be power washed under the hood?
2) I know that it takes 4 quarts but what kind of fluid should i use in my auto transmission?
3) And i found front coils from a grand Cherokee with up country but what kind of leafs do i need to complete a budget lift? I did see a tutorial once before but i cant seem to dig it up again.

Thanks guys,
Dillon

As far as spraying stuff under the hood, avoid all electrical stuff. Especially the TPS and the coil. Other than that, youll be fine.

It will say on the dipstick which fluid to use. It will be either ATF+4 or it will say 7176 if it takes ATF+3.

On the power washing, what I do is spray degreaser around my engine. Let it soak for a few mins. When I spray it off, I never pull the trigger from close. I will let the mist spray it off, or if I pull the trigger, I back up so the pressure is not so strong. Be careful when you spray around the distributor. That's about it.
