    LJ Soft Tops: OEM or Trektop?

    Depends on your primary use. I have the trektop. With windows rolled up I have to turn the fan on 3 to stop it from flapping. It’s a third vehicle and I primarily run it in bikini mode. If I ran it with windows zipped in more than half the time I’d switch to the oem.

    Vendor Recommendations for Automatic Transmission Replacement

    I had bad pcm and bad trans. I went with bestbuy. I’ve got a couple years, not that miles on mine but I am satisfied. Their prices are a couple hundred more now than I paid but that is probably everywhere. They had best combo of price, warranty and no core fee. Check warranty language if you’re...

    Anyone purchased a remanufactured transmission from Bestbuy Transmission?

    I have one of these best buy transmissions. It came with high quality atf+4. Dealing with them was easy and the transmission has been flawless to date.

    Will a new speedo gear help with 42RLE shift points after re-gearing?

    No but it looks like FRP can tune your PCM to adjust shift points. https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/hptuners-mpvi2%E2%80%94it-looks-like-it-is-possible-to-program-42rle-shift-points.42931/

    Need suggestions on 42RLE replacement transmission

    My mechanic suggested jasper but they were way off the mark on price and warranty was extra iirc. Hopefully things have changed. I used best buy transmission. I've got 18 months or so and a couple thousand miles on mine. No regrets. 42RLE Transmission - $1,895 | 5-Year Warranty. | Money Back

    Auxiliary Transmission Coolers

    I'm going to add the Setrab you recommend soon. I'm curious to know if there a reason other than not being bolt-on that you don't use a second Setrab for power steering cooling. Thanks.

    Need a quick rundown on replacement soft tops

    My top was done when i bought it but i was reluctant to spend more at the time so that is where this advice comes from, I bought a year: You didn't say it's leaking or looks bad. You could squeeze another year out of it by triming the frayed ends, lubing the zippers, using hooks or hooked...

    42RLE torque converter not locking up

    That's when mine went out, and not locking up was one of many symptoms. Shuddering and burnt fluid might be next. Low fluid can be a culprit in case you haven't checked. 139k is not the lowest mileage at which one of these has burnt up but maybe a second opinion is worth the hassle.

    Transmission temp question

    Todd at aeroforcetech.com says his Interceptor SR gauge will access the 42rle temp but I haven't been willing to cough up the $250 to find out yet.

    What kind of mileage are you getting out of your 42RLE?

    141k. Unknown if bad pcm or wear caused the trans to go, but I had to replace both shortly after purchase. A good shop can tell you if its working properly or about due.
