So I have been chasing a squeak in the back of my Jeep for nearly a year now

It always squeaked when the suspension moved but for some reason I could not duplicate it in the garage.
I have greased the Currie control arms numerous times - no change
I have replaced the rear sway bar bushings and greased - no change
I have removed, cleaned and greased, re-installed the rear track bar - no change
I have checked and rechecked the torque on the body mount bolts - no change
I have temporarily removed the belly skid - no change
I have temporarily removed the engine skid - no change

So last night I accidently hit the CB antenna and it squeaked against the spare tire........

Sometimes the little things get you..

I'm sorry I laughed at your discovery but only because I feel you pain and have been there.

Does this mean you and the wife will have to head back into the bedroom? Thats a darn shame.. ;) Sometimes chasing the squeak is the best excuse out there!!

Umm honey... Need your help in the garage for 30 min ;)

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...
