Hey Jeepers. 2005 Rubicon TJ, Auto w/ 152k. Here is my issue: Lately I've been feeling a loud clunk when turning namely left. Well it's more of a snap feeling and sound. So. The other day I was driving home and the "rear lock" light began flashing on the dash. I pulled over and this stopped...

Thanks Pagrey. So you believe this to be a PCM issue for p0137? Are you able to point me to the connectors I should check? Would this be the O2 connector or other? Thanks again for the feedback.

J Harding they were NTK brand. And thanks Pagrey for feedback. Do you know if they throw that code when they go bad? The code is p0137. I checked today when I got off work.

All right. Sorry for the delay I have been swamped. So I found the problem. The ignition actuator was bad so replaced that and now it starts. This was the reason for it not starting. As for the ATF leak, the transmission cooler steel lines from the rad was leaking significantly. I also...

No luck starting it this way. Still waiting for someone to take a look at it with me that has the proper tools. Im unable to locate the leak.

Thanks Jerry. I will try starting it up the way you suggested next time I am at the Jeep and report back here. Ill also look for where the leak is coming from. I saw some drops coming from the transmission "panel" area. That I did see but there could be other places. I understand a little can...

Thanks 4 Popper. I will look at that. I guess what I am asking is (and I know this is a what-if) would a 42rle typically survive being that low on ATF for a few days? But I will start with that gasket in the area you are thinking of if it turns out that is where it is leaking. I saw fresh...

Alright so I have an update (from the reply I made to Jerry): I just checked the dipstick to auto trans and it is now reading overfilled I am not sure how that is possible. It is cold as it is not able to start. Any thoughts? Could it actually be the trans that went out? Maybe torque...

Thanks 4 Popper.

Thanks for reply Jerry. All very good insight and will definitely look into Mark for PCM as I am aware of the 05 models needing a replacement possibly later down the line. I am not sure if you read my last paragraph, but there is a pretty serious leak in the 42rle as trans fluid has completely...

Hello to my fellow Jeepers! I have a 2005 stock Rubicon auto with about 149k miles on it. I need some insight on some problems I have been having lately. The following may or may not be all connected. Alright so last summer I had about 140k miles or so and the spark plugs had never been...

Thanks to all who replied. All very good insight. I will buy the pressurizer and perhaps a new rad cap. Or - Think I might as well go ahead and just replace the whole rad while Im at it? Pretty sure it has never been replaced. Sitting at 148k miles.

Hey Matt. Sounds like you got your problem figured out. Did you replace the rad? And thanks for the reply. I may have a leak somewhere or like Jerry said, maybe I need a new rad cap.

Thanks for your reply Jerry. Any idea how I pressurize the system?

Thanks for your reply Bromel. It is a stock radiator to my knowledge. I have had it for the past 53k miles (has 148k on it).

Thanks for all who replied. I did smell something; possibly coolant or oil. I have always smelled it on hot days since Ive had the Jeep (coming on 6 years now). I do have the notorious rear main seal leak as well (I just keep an eye on oil level and add when need be) so yeah, she does leak oil...

Hey all, I'm sure this has been covered before. If so I apologize. So here goes: I was driving the other day (hot, sunny day) for about an hour. When I reached my destination and parked, I noticed steam or possibly a semi-whitish smoke coming from the front grill area for about 10 seconds...

Thank you all for the replies. Thanks Artsi and AndyG. So, where is the steering box and is it easy to replace? If my thinking is right, its just under/behind the front bumper in front of the radiator and has a bushing on a arm? If that is it, it just looks like a simple plug-and-play-type part...

Wow, thanks for the immediate reply Jerry! I will definitely do this when time permits. Although it could be a number of things, what could some other culprits be? Tie rods?

Hello all, I believe I am in need of a new front track bar on my 2005 Rubicon TJ. No mods, stock Rubicon. I am looking to just get a replacement. Are the track bars in the Rubicon the same as any other Wrangler TJ? Reasons why I think it is the track bar that needs replacing: Slight shake at...
