I have two questions. While driving around today my MIL popped on. I pulled codes and retrieved P0700 and P0743. I know 700 is a generic transmission code and 743 is a torque converter solenoid electrical circuit fault. I have zero driveability problems and my TC still locks and unlocks at about 42mph. The Jeep pulsates a bit when stopping but I attribute that to warped rotors. I assume I need to drop the pan and ohm check the solenoids....most likely replacing all 3. Does this sound right? The MIL popped on once 3 weeks ago and I wasn't able to pull codes....As with today it was nice and hot after about 10 miles of driving.
Second question.....since my XJ is a factory 2wd unit I've been keeping my eye out for a 98-01 parts XJ to do the swap to 4wd. I don't really want to put a dime into a 2wd AW4 but I can't afford to buy or store a parts Jeep right now. This may be stupid to ask, but can I install this upgrade piecemeal? Can I swap in a replacement 4wd AW4 with transfer case and rear driveshaft and run like that for awhile until I get a front axle? Would that cause damage?
Thank you.
