    Drainage Hose

    I have a 2006 TJ with the 4.0 and Auto Trans. Over the last two weeks I had something happen that I've never seen before. The Jeep is in my garage and it is getting cold here now at night. I let it sit in the garage for a week and then when I started it on the weekend what looks like coolant...

    Temp guage acted odd

    I have a 2006 TJ with the 4.0 engine and Auto trans. I recently replaced the radiator (bought a factory one from Jeep Dealership), the water pump, thermostat and the overflow bottle. All has been working quite well. Temp guage stays just south of the 210 mark and has been steady. A few days...

    Should I replace my OPDA if it works?

    I have a 2006 pretty much stock TJ. It has the 4.0 engine and the factory OPDA. I put the Wrangler Fix PCM in about a year ago to fix hard shifting auto trans. I have had no other issues, runs fine. I have 132,000 miles and the factory OPDA. I listened to it with a stethascope, no odd...

    Opinions on Valvoline flushing the fluid on my 42RLE?

    I just had the T-case and differential fluid/oil replaced in my 2006 TJ. I have the 42rle trans and would like opinions on having the local Valvoline oil change place flush out the old fluid and replace. ATF 4 of course. Is this a good idea, or is it necessary to go to a trans shop and have...

    TJ vs the Old Willys Jeeps

    I'm curious what some of you think as far as the TJ vs the old Willy's jeeps. I know technology wise the TJ has a better engine, lots of sensors, etc. But I am wondering about the original purpose of a jeep. Small rugged 4 wd that can be maintained by most, is tough and durable. I love my...

    Should I replace the track bar bushings?

    I have a 2006 Jeep TJ X. It now has just over 120,000 miles. The suspension is stock except for a 2" spacer lift. I am wondering if I should replace the Track arm bushings just because of the age of the Jeep. I assume over time the rubber gets hard with some cracking. My Jeep has had a...

    42RLE vs 32RH

    I've seen more than a few posts here that say the older 32RH automatic trans was better than the 42RLE which is what my 2006 TJ has. Is it the weird over drive in the 42rle that makes it not as good? I've developed a habit of turning the OD off as soon as I start the Jeep up no matter where...

    Replacing hockey puck lift with springs: Is Currie the best?

    I have a 2006 TJ, 4.0 automatic. It has 1.75 to 2 inch hocky pucks, 31 inch tires with moab wheels. I like the height it has now, but I think I would prefer to get 2" lift springs and get rid of the pucks. If all I want is the taler springs, what brand do any of you recommend. I see many...

    Tranmission transfer case skid plate bolts

    I have a 2006 TJ with the 4.0 motor and 42rle transmission. I removed my transmission transfer case crossmember/skid plate to clean between it and the frame, remove any surface rust there and repaint. I need to make sure I am using the correct torq spec for those 6 skid plate to frame bolts...

    Frame Drain Holes

    I would like to hear from others who have drilled drain holes in their TJ frames. I have inspected mine inside and out for rust . I don't see anything, not even surface yet and I'm in New Mexico where it is dry, not much snow and I don't think they use salt here. Still, some of the frame...

    Transmission skid plate bolts are very tight

    I wanted to loosen the bolts on my 2006 Jeep TJ transmission mount plate, but I find these bolts are really tight, afraid I'll bust them if I use too much force. The Jeep is a new Mexico jeep and I have no signs of any frame rust anywhere. Very clean inside and out. Any advise how to get...

    Flat inner rear fenders for TJ?

    One of the things I miss about the CJ Jeeps is the flat tops of the rear fender wells. Those were great for putting in tool box, jerry cans or whatever else you wanted to carry in the back. Has anyone here come across some sort of body kit to put flats on top of the TJ rear fender wells? I...

    Galvanized Body?

    I have a 2006 TJ, an X I think as it has the 4.0 engine, automatic trans. I understood that the Jeeps starting with the YJs and then the TJs have galvanized body panels, but the frames are not galvanized. It seems that almost all of the rust issues with the TJ have to do with the frame. Is...

    How can I buy a replacement PCM?

    I have been dealing with the Jeep TJ PCM problem causing hard shifts from 1st to 2nd gear, 4.0 motor and 42rle auto trans. I have reset the PCM by battery disconnect. This stops the hard shifts for a while, but it comes back. I have seen in other posts that people have replaced the PCM to...

    42RLE: so far so good after battery reset

    My 2006 TJ with 4.0, 42rle and 3.73 axles had the hard shift problem after I went to 16" moab wheels and 31" tires. I made sure the trans fluid was good and full checking with motor running in neutral. Then I disconnected the battery for 8 hours to reboot the computer. Now it works great, no...

    06 TJ 42RLE Hard Shift Fixed

    My 2006 TJ with the 4.0 motor, 42rle trans and 3.73 gears was having hard shifts only when I first drove it. Then it would calm down and shift smoothly. I checked and made sure the trans fluid was full, clear and pink with no burn smell. Still did the hard shift in the morning. Then I found...

    42RLE transmission question about hard shifts

    I have a 2006 I think an X. It has the 4.0 Engine, 42rle Trans and 3.73 axles. I just noticed the last two times I drove the Jeep the first transmission shift was very noticeable. Before the trans shifting has always been very smooth. It only did this the last two times I drove it, and only...

    I have a set of Kaki TJ full Doors for sale. They are from my 2006 TJ and are in excellent condition. I found a set of kaki half doors I'm using. I thought I'd switch to the full doors during winter , but didn't so now I have no use for the full doors. Interior panels are the beige or tan...

    Changed to 16 inch wheels with 31.5 inch tires

    I have a 2006 TJ with 4.0 engine and the 42rle automatic trans. I just changed my tires and wheels from 15" wheels with 31x10.5x15 tires to Moab 16" wheels with 31.5" x10.5 tires. I have not seen a huge difference driving it around town, but I am wondering if the taller 31.5 tires are ok with...
