    Mystery electrical issues

    This is my 49 billionth post on this, but no luck, so I’m going to try to detail every little thing this Jeep has done. It started with, at random, it only cranking. I thought maybe the fuse box being shaken around could have messed up something because when I would mess with it, I’d either...

    42RLE no issues, but a snapped snap ring.

    Howdy folks, I decided to service my trans yesterday. Not because I was having issues, but because I haven't done it in the years I've owned the jeep and I felt like it was a good idea. The fluid smelled good and had a nice red color to it. Not burnt or stinky like I've smelled in bad...

    Florida Mechanic in Miami Needed!

    Hey everyone! I need a mechanic in the South Florida area for my 06 Rubicon. I used Planet 4x4 before and was dissatisfied. I'm looking for a shop that can diagnose the shifting problems - the jeep is an automatic, but inconsistently refuses to shift from 2nd to 3rd) - as well as a mystery...

    Automatic shifter issues (not related to the broken bushing)

    Having an issue similar to the broken bushing. However, after inspection the bushing that connects the cable to the shifter is fine and still connected… However, the car will not shift out of park probably. But I can go under the car and push the mechanism and it can go into drive (emergency...

    What's the general consensus on the 42RLE and P1776 code?

    This code has thrown on me twice, and both time were under similar conditions. I've read a lot about this code, and owners seem to either "throw parts and money at it, plus a prayer or two" - and they may get lucky, or they may not - or they're of the "get rid of it and go with a manual" camp...

    Has anyone put 33s on their 2.5 TJ without re-gearing?

    Hello everyone, I just joined this forum after years of reading all of your useful inputs. I have an 01 Tj SE 4 cylinder automatic and I run 31x10.5x15 tires on it now. Even before I put on 31's it was slow, and the slowness doesn't bother me, my jeep gets me everywhere I want to go. It's time...

    Code P0171

    So I bought my Jeep ten plus years ago and when things go wrong it’s typically because they haven’t been changed since I bought it. I do the regular maintain every other week but when things go exceptionally wrong more times then not, it just hasn’t been changed in ten years. My Jeep started to...

    Dog trips shift handle Is this standard

    My new rescue dog is desperate to avoid being abandoned again. He puts his head on my lap to stay close. The 2001 Wrangler, automatic, has a shift handle with a push button to release from position 1,2, park etc. to shift but no push of the button is needed from drive to neutral. It seems to...

    Newbie from small town Illinois

    Hello to fellow TJ owners. I’m new to owning any Jeep. Bought my first one roughly 3 weeks ago. Have not had a chance to go off-road, as of yet. From what I have read and seen when I was looking, I got lucky as this one has a little surface rust. A little about me, I’m 46, getting started with...

    Re-gearing for 33s

    I am currently running 31s on my TJ 2.5L 3 speed automatic, and the previous owner didn't regear it correctly. I was going to regear it anyway, but I was wondering if it is possible to go up to 33s or even 35s with the smaller engine. Also, what would the gear ratios be like? I've done a bit of...
