Well, I'm looking at any window that works for someone else. Usually the weekend. Although I'll be off for three weeks starting on the 18th of December.

Well, I've finished the water pump, heater pipe, flush, thermostat part. I also had a week long adventure because I couldn't find the lower water pump bolt. So, I bought a bolt from Home Depot. I quickly snapped the head off that then snapped the head off of the EZ out that I tried to get in...

Yeah. I will start working on it tomorrow. I have to replace the harmonic balancer on my camry first. Thanks for the advice guys.

Yesterday, I went to start replacing accessories like the fan clutch, water pump, thermostat, and harmonic balancer. The day before yesterday I emptied the contents, as much as the lower radiator hose would allow, and I refilled with water. I drove around for half an hour and returned to empty...

Don't everyone speak up at once...I will be flushing out the cooling system over the next few days starting on Wednesday. Hopefully, everything but the exhaust manifold, engine oil pump and rear main seal will be left by the weekend.

So, under the advice of Anak, I ordered a new water pump, coolant, radiator hoses, radiator cap, coolant temperature sensor, and a new thermostat. The thermostat housing looks really new so I am not replacing that. I will also be replacing the fan clutch and belt. Today, on a whim, I...

Thanks for the replies guys. That makes me feel better. I changed the gear oil in the rear end with lucas synthetic. I was trying to see if it was yellow metal safe but I'm not sure. It looks like the older formulation, before 2012, according to this...

I will provide cold beer/alcohol of your choice, food and gas money I'm new to Jeeps and would appreciate some help and expertise. I just bought a 1997 Cherokee RWD (with previous owner installed other Aisin trans and a 231 J transfer case). I have done some drain and fills. I've replaced the...

I put Valvoline MaxLife in my tranny. I don't know what tranny it is though. aisin 898012 That's what I could see on the case itself. What transmission is this? It only took 2 1/2 quarts for a drain and fill.

Any help on the transmission identification would be appreciated. aisin 898012 That's the information I could see on the tranny. I put Valvoline Max Life ATF in there. It only took 2 1/2 quarts for a drain and fill. That seems a little low to me. I put more fluid in my Camry when I do a...

Okay, so yesterday I was able to get the computer to throw another CEL...after nearly a 100 miles without throwing one. This one was po441. And, I have a coolant leak somewhere. I did a drain and fill on the tranny and the transfer case. My Jeep was originally a RWD only but the previous...

Also, to finish up my last post, I noticed yesterday that the overflow tank was empty. It took a half gallon of distilled water to fill it up. I thought maybe there was air in the cooling system somewhere so I started it up with the cap off of the radiator and it was full. However, the water...

Ok, so over the last four or five days I have been getting around in the Jeep. I have put some miles on her. I dumped a bottle of Berryman's fuel injection. cleaner into the tank and filled it up. The CEL went away almost immediately after this. I have yet to get the CEL to come back. The CEL...

Any reason in particular you are partial to that Autel? It looks like it is around $60 or so.

Gotcha. Thanks for all the input guys. It's appreciated.
