well i bought the jeep from a family that had the jeep since new but it was sold to other family members and was mostly on farm land, the lady did do all check ins on fulid and eery thing when i bought the jeep, but i did only change the engine oil

Good god.

I'll be nice but I can see why apemans so grumpy.

Stick a finger in your diffs. It's not hard, the rear should even have a rubber fill plug. If your finger feels wet pull it out. If your oil is milky it's no good. If it's not golden brown and transparent it needs immediate replacing. Same goes for your transmission and transfer case.

After forging water if you have any water contaminant in your oil you will blow your gears.

If you need help bring the jeep over here and I'll check your fluids and explain how to change them.

If you don't care enough to even take 10 mins to check things out, then I'll start sourcing out diffs, a tranny, and a new tcase for my future $800 jeep.

And take 2 mins to reread your last post... How much sense does it make?

These guys may seem harsh, but we're just trying to communicate to you that if you want to avoid destroying your Jeep through neglect, you will want to get on top of maintenance NOW. If you don't have time, take it to a Mr. Lube. They'll do it while you nap in the driver's seat for 30 minutes. They'll change out engine oil, diff fluid, transfer case, and tranny fluid.

Or don't....it's your Jeep, after all.

Jeep.

Just Exchange Every Pfluid.....



I did a Google search for "hot trannies" but nothing came up about oil coolers  :o

Worrying too much about mpg with a Jeep is similar to worrying about your sister's virginity. An ok thing to be concerned about but...

ok, i will make it very clear. It is an old jeep. EVEN if you never went offroad, change the diff, tranny and t-case fluids NOW.
Go to a Lube place and pay for it yourself seeing as you won't ask Daddy to do it. Why would you? After all, he will just have to replace your tranny, diff gears and t-case when they all grenade. You might as well not have him do the fluids but leave the BIG jobs for him. i am sure he will like that better.

I vote for a lock on this thread. This could go on for pages and pages and pages.

ill be the first to say . stay on top of it . cuz if u let it slide ull be paying more .

if u have to much water in your diffs ull probably blow a wheel seal then loose your fluid and then your gears will be done . 20 bucks to change your oil now or 1000 bucks in 3 months  your call

tranny . change if now for 20 bucks or wait 3 months and pay 2000 bucks for a new one and to have it installed

the reason everyone is on you for this now is so u dont have to fork out thousands down the road .  and most of us speak from expierence . so now its in your hands .

or blow it up im sure someone will buy it off you for 50 $ after your done killing it
