just finished removing my AW4 transmission this morning. Discovered the reason why it died was the torque converter bolts came loose, destroying the front seal and the fly wheel and the torque convertergonna have lunch now, then step out and remove the trans from my donor vehicle. Wanna get it done today, supposed to go wheelin and flexin tomorrow.

Changed out my battery terminal clamps. Still gotta finish it up but cut back black and ground and cleaned alt wire. Wanna connect them to the accessory ring on the battery.
Found out why my jeep has been dying, my clamps sucks and my alt wire was lose so probably wasn't charging good. Well see what happens

I keep the cardboard in there as a $.50 bedliner to keep the carpet clean for when I sleep in the back, and for odd jobs. When I was moving all the wheels and tires to get them mounted and balanced, for example, I put a piece between two wheels that were stacked, and folded it up between the top wheel and the glass. It creates friction between the wheels so the top one doesn't slide off, and it protects my glass in case it does move.
I know you do, but I'm still waiting on you so feel comforted lol

this happened to me a few years ago, it was ... couldnt figure out why i kept loosing trans fluid and smoking. PITA. good luck
Just noticed the new water pump I installed not 3 weeks ago has a slight warp on the pulley causing the serpentine belt to burn a bit.
A new defective part, gotta love it. Thankfully, a warranty is in place.. just have to pull it off.. so much work for such a tiny piece though..

Finally got to do some things I've been needing to do. New switches and a fire extinguisher! 40$ well spent. Still need one more switch and I'll be good to go.
