    How Well Are 4th Gens Holding Up?

    I've had my 06 4.0 for 7 years and just hit 200k miles, still runs good. Regular full synthetic oil changes, transmission service and about $1k in parts over the years.

    Transmission cooling line loose

    Discovered fluid on my driveway from front of vehicle. Thought it was coolant, but it was dark. Turns out the cooling line from radiator to transmission was backed off quite a bit. No recent work on it. Anyone experience before?

    forscan pats...just a rant if i might have missed something

    You're marrying the keys to the PCM? When I got a new PCM, the key tech spent about 2 hours before finally getting it to work.

    Engine Oil and Filters 4.0L

    Cap wrench to break loose and hand tighten for me as well. I've gotten really good at taking the filter off very straight to not let oil spill out before tipping the filter over into the drain pan. Most mess comes from oil onto the stabilizer bar then running down. I've been using either mobil...

    new key and fob

    Not sure about the all in one, but I've bought fobs on amazon and programmed them myself. To get more keys, you'll have to have a tech or locksmith program them to your ecu to sync the chip to the PATS (passive anti-theft system).

    Help P0442 evap small leak

    Yep, it works pretty good. The issue trying to do it yourself is not having control of the valves. You can send smoke back through the system, but can't close the canister valve.

    Just replaced the Blend Door Actuator on my Gen IV

    I think that only relying on one source for research is not good practice anyway. Between this site, youtube, rockauto, and amazon, I've fixed most problems in my ex. YouTube is great to see how to approach a problem, but I normally don't take any one person's instruction as the only way to go
