Tranny cooler line popped off and trans burned up unfortunately. I have the NP242 Transfer case, don't really wanna swap out to the 23 spline 231 because I'd lose full time 4WD... dunno; Might be easier that way though. I really don't like the idea of putting in a trans with more mileage than...

It's an automatic (AW4.) I'm really not expecting to find one with under 70k on it - that's what the shop is looking for and is probably the reason they are unable to find one. Anything with close (preferably less) mileage to the current one would be fantastic. Current mileage is 105k.

Have a 1990 Wagoneer Limited (Renix), and the tranny is shot. Took it into the shop but they haven't been able to locate a replacement (looking for a used one) for 3 months now. I'm pretty sure this is because they are only looking for 1990 year with under 70k on it. Naturally, this isn't...

I am going to go look at it this weekend - unfortunately it's a good hour from my house so I won't be able to do much. Any ideas on quick things I can check before having them put in a new tranny?

I suggested it may be the NSS when I called back and gave them "ideas" of why it might not start. They were quick to dismiss it when it cranked after sitting in the shop overnight though.

Ok, so a couple of days before Christmas I was driving along the highway and suddenly smelled something like burning plastic. My initial thought was a wire or something burnt up on the heater core, so I pulled over. Couldn't find anything wrong. I took back off down the highway. Pretty soon...

I used them to install my lift kit - really had no problems with them, except like others mentioned they liked to slide a bit (they come with "safety screws" to prevent this, once I used them it worked much better.) On closer analysis, I used the ones that 93gc40 posted, not the one you linked to!

Best bet is probably to have the battery tested (do an actual load test) and also check the Neutral Safety Switch (NSS) sounds like it may be confused as to what gear it's in.

Just curious if anyone has tried this, seems like a good idea. I'm gonna try it on a few dings I have this weekend. http://www.metacafe.com/watch/501379/remove_car_dent_with_airduster/

I'm pretty sure that's a quarter. Chances are it fell out of your pocket. :D

It's actually called a "Stop light switch" and was available at AutoZone (Duralast part F4834.) Took out the old, swapped in the new, works perfectly now. Only $7.99 too! Thanks for the help!

When I took the IAC out for the initial cleaning, it was already in 3 pieces. I screwed the threaded part back in to it by hand so it was almost all the way closed, sprayed it some WD40 and stuck it back in. Works fine. I'll triple-check the vac lines to the MAP sensor today and clean out the...

In the past couple of weeks, I've had a few people stop me and tell me I have no brake lights. As soon as I get home and test them, however, they seem to work fine (in park.) I know my NSS needs cleaning/replacing because sometimes I can only start in neutral. Also, sometimes I can only take...

No, I didn't clean the whole thing, I will do that this weekend. Judging from just sticking my finger in the hole while I had the IACV out, it is probably filthy. My finger was jet black with oil/sludge. The TPS tested well within range so I don't think that is the problem. Good news is I was...

I took out the IACV and it was filthy. Cleaned it out good with some carb/choke cleaner and stuck it back in, now it won't start at all. If I take it out, it starts right up... so I'm gonna replace it now and see what happens. Still no luck on finding the vacuum leak though.
