    Detonation or Timing Chain rattle?

    For awhile now I have heard a noise very much like that is described in the timing chain TSB. I have the 4.0 SOHC. Recently I did a sort of tune up. Changed the plugs, fuel filter, oil change with Lucas (is Lucas worth it?) and Seafoam through the vacuum line and gas tank. All of a sudden, I...

    Confusion

    I have an 01 Eddie with the 4.0 SOHC. Anyways, I have been reading and reading and trying to understand what I need and how to do this: TSB 02-7-6 4.0L SOHC Timing Chain Rattle, and how to fix it. I am seeing a lot of different part numbers, and as I read more into this thread...

    Too much fluid

    I checked the tranny (5R55E) fluid today and it's well passed the cross hatched area of the dipstick. Do I have too much? And if so, how do I drain it? I checked it while idling in Park and warmed up. Is this correct? I recently had the tranny rebuilt (AMMCO isn't very good BTW, or at least in...

    Tranny Missing a bolt... Thank you AAMCO

    I just recently had the tranny rebuilt from AAMCO. As i was changing my oil, i noticed that there was a bolt missing from under the pan with fluid leaking out. I was always wondering what was leaking. If AAMCO doesn't replace the bolt tomorrow, does anyone know the thread and size of the bolt...

    Opinions please

    I have had the 2-3 flare, and hounded my dad on doing the valve body rebuild on my 5r55e. by the way, it has 104000 miles on it. He thought that that would be too risky because neither one of us has had to do any tranny work. So, he insisted on taking it to AAMCO. I told them what i thought the...

    towing jeep rubicon

    I will be towing my dad's jeep behind his expedition soon and was wondering if there was a way to wire in the tail lights so i don't have to get towing lights. Any insights? Thanks

    any one in the dfw area know......

    any halfway decent off-road locations that aren't "trespassing"? This should break the monotony of this dead sub-forum. I will soon be living in duncanville and want to actually use my 4x4 for what it is really used for. Thanks

    nasty sharp clunk

    I get this awful clunk when i make a U turn. This only happens when the wheel is at the lock position (turned all the way). I only hear it from the drivers side. Any Ideas? I looked down there and nothing "looked" out of the ordinary. I even checked the lugs to make sure they weren't loose as it...

    thoughts on gibson exhaust

    is gibson a decent exhaust? I think the one for me is the swept side exhaust and they have a bolt on for a good price. at summit racing it is about $263 for a cat back which is all i need. I just modified my stock intake so it is kinda like an open air, but not quite, but sounds great. If it is...

    Has anyone used one of these before? And are serious tranny upgrades needed if I use one. I have the 4.0 SOHC.

    yet another tire size thread

    I have 255/70/16. I read the sticky chart, but all say on a 15x8. What is a more aggressive size i can fit on a stock setup? Thanks. I would like to get some 31x10.50 and prefer BFG, but not sure if that will fit with a 16" wheel. Thanks

    Comments about Amsoil

    I just got done reading the tech tip about oil additives and how they are bad if they contain teflon and something else. I know that Amsoil #1 is expensive, but #2 it contains an additive called moly-something or other. Is it really worth the extra investment on this oil? I was talking to the...

    stereo size

    On my 01 eddie bauer, it appears to be a 2-din size stereo. I have seen some 2-dins that i would be interested in but do they make a kit that would make them work or is our stereo slightly smaller than 2-din but bigger than 1.5 din. Thanks

    how fast?

    I disabled the auto setting on my x and was just curious on how fast you can actually drive in 4low. In my case it would be 2 low, but i was just wondering. I always thought that you really couldn't exceed like 25 mph or something, or maybe not even that fast. Not that i will be driving like...

    Shifting to reverse

    Does anyone else's transmission shift really rough to reverse? Mine seems to be progressively getting worse although it shifts fine to drive. You hear a clank and you really feel the x move a lot, but only to reverse. This is the first automatic car i have driven and i wasn't sure if this is...

    I have an 01 4dr 4x4 explorer and uhaul will not let me use my vehicle to tow my car. But i noticed on the specifications website from ntrprize it shows no max or standard load for this. Why is that and what can i do to tow my car. I have to go from Denton, TX to Corsicana, TX, about 2 hrs. I am...
