Does the TCM for the 42RLE use the "torque management request sense" circuit? The FSM says it's pin 10 of the 60P TCM connector. Diagnostic procedures for it in the FSM indicate it's pulled high by the PCM to more than 7V (I'm assuming it's pulled up to battery voltage), and when the...

Has anyone attempted anything like this? On paper it looks like the most time consuming aspect would be reverse engineering the one-wire PCI protocol. I believe the two-wire SCI bus is only used for diagnostics, so don't worry about that? Looks like there is lots of information available for...

I have a stock 04 Unlimited. I ordered this rebuild kit from Denny's Driveshaft for the front driveshaft. But now I'm seeing where Denny's says: How can I tell whether my front CV centering yoke is greaseable or not? It's hard for me to get a good look and I don't know what to look for. And...

It's somewhere in the rear. Varies in volume depending on speed, does not vary in pitch. It does not depend on load, gear, 4WD, or any of that. It does seem to need to get warmed up. First starting out it'll be silent until ~45 mph, but after driving for a mile or two I can hear it as slow as 30...

Made a trip up to Silver Lake Sand Dunes this weekend with some buddies. We all packed into my completely stock 04 LJ with stock sized pizza cutters. It was a blast!! We probably tried Test Hill two dozen times. What I lacked in tire we tried to make up for in speed. But the moguls really kill...

I live in St Joseph, Berrien County. Just for my future records, does anyone know of any good Jeep mechanics and gear shops within a couple of hours of here? I don't really know what I mean by "Jeep mechanic". I guess someone who does good work and doesn't charge an arm and a leg. I like doing...

2004 4.0L auto. 190-something thousand miles. There's a drip coming from the RMS area down the transmission. Sorry, I don't know what my camera was focusing on. The bottom of my oil pan is dry. ...in spite of some missing bolts. I need to fix that... And as far as I can see it's dryish...

Is anyone especially knowledgeable about the communications busses in my 04? I'm especially interested in the SCI and PCI busses between the PCM and the TCM. I've heard these are industry standard documented things but I don't know which standards or which documents. I'm toying with the idea of...

Is there a better way to fix this than to bend the lip on my hood? The other side has a good 3/8 gap between the hood and the fender. Not sure I can bend that much.

I'm doing the cooling system overhaul and it turns out the old water pump (something aftermarket from PO) used bolts of the same diameter but a finer pitch than the pulley bolt holes on my OEM replacement pump. Anyone know what size bolts I need? 2004 4.0L This is my new water pump...

I'm thinking about installing a temperature gauge for the 42RLE in my 04. I've heard people argue three different ways about where it should go. So I want to see what you guys recommend. But I also want to understand why. What part of the transmission (fluid is a part too) is most sensitive to...

Sometime soonish I'm going to be splitting my transfer case to install the TeraFlex 2Low kit. While I'm at it I also plan to install the Savvy shifter cable. The NP231 service manual describes how to do an overhaul and says to discard the snap rings, yoke nut washers, and a few o-rings. So my...

Can anyone confirm if the Savvy cable shifter has enough headroom to accommodate the extra transfer case position? I assume there would be no problems but wanted to check.

Unfortunately the relevant thread is gone now. But a few of you were around yesterday evening when I publicly accused @mrblaine of personally attacking someone. He and I chatted privately and now I understand that he was being sarcastic and the offended party mistakenly took it for a personal...

Newbie question. But lets say one day I decide I want to lift ~4" and run 33" tires so I can drive over larger logs in the woods. How much will highway manners suffer versus stock? Let's assume a middle of the pack lift with shocks similar in quality to the RS5000X I'm running now. What causes...

I'm in the St. Joseph / Benton Harbor area. Any recommendations?

It's wet outside right now. Temperature is 56 Freedom Units. I was driving on the road by myself, no other cars in sight. I'm still new to Jeeps so I figured I'd do a little threshold braking to learn how my completely stock TJ handles under duress. The slow-dometer was reading 50 or 55 Freedom...
