Hey all,
About 2 1/2 years ago I wrecked my 2006 4.0 automatic in a collision which left it with a broken motor mount, transfer case, front axle, fenders, and shocks. My parents, found this 2005 4.0 automatic near Yosemite which had a rollover in 2005 and was originally going to be used for the airbags on it. However, my sister found the key next to it and when we brought it home it started right up, the odometer read 3260. Since this jeep had such low miles, still even had the dealership plate on it, I got to work and changed everything underneath except for the wiring harness this last month. I switched the engine, exhaust manifold, muffler, transfer case, transmission, the whole deal. After a custom alignment it felt good to drive but I am having what I believe to be some major electronic issues. My instrument cluster does not read gas levels, engine oil, coolant, etc. All check engine light codes are sensor related as well. I drove it like this from Red Bluff, CA to Phoenix, AZ where I am stationed (roughly 700-800 mile drive) when I realized that drive is second gear. Drive just doesn't start at 1st gear nor will it switch to 3rd. I checked my shifter rod and it went fine when I had someone in the car shifting so I could see. So that's where I am at with this thing. Just looking for some suggestions and if anyone knows a good Jeep mechanic in the Phoenix area (preferably west side, that could resolve what's left of my issues).
Thanks!
