Good Luck!

It was spotlighted in 4wd and off road a few months back. Actually pretty well done.

Researched local tranny shops and went to a highly rated one. Long story made short, was told by a tech to either run with it, as is, or pull a little out. It will only happen at higher speeds and not local driving. Will bring my Scanguage II when I return to Houston to monitor tranny temps on trip ...

F9K9

No aftermarket drain plug. Have one on Rubi that has worked well but, tried 2 different ones on her WJ and finally had the hole welded up. I can pull fluid out the dipstick/fill tube if, needed. Scanguage II is on the Rubi. I meant to grab it but, didn't. Can't understand how it got overfilled befor...

F9K9

Okay, we made it this afternoon. Can't believe my mileage for the trip. Last fill up was 19.9 but, my speedo is off by 2 mph @ 75 mph GPS shows 73. So, actual number will be less. Am still blowing ATF. It's made it's way back to the driver's dust shield on the rear brake. 1,100 miles ago it was at t...

Get the'09 2wd with a V8 toss in a good transfer case and a couple good axles and maybe........

Looks good! Never was a fan of the molding. What was it attached with? 3M?

Yep, that's the plan. The CC may even have a paint job in it's future. The clear coat is starting to pick up speed in it deterioration.

That's great to hear!!! Those ducks are always lurking about and makes a fella a little worried.

F9K9

Pulled the brush/grill guard with the KC dayliters and the rear tail light guards. Planned on pulling the custom rock sliders to save additional weight but, they were pretty Dewalt grinder resistant. All needs repainting anyway. No photos so, you can believe it never happened.

F9K9

Here is a picture of that vent tube: http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f236/JaVeRo/100_0488.jpg When I put the new transmission in, I ran a longer hose on it and tied it off in the right fender beside the AC coil. Yep, that's it! I wish that I had thought of rerouteing it. It is dumping on the pass...

F9K9

.............. If there's not fluid on the ground, I don't think that it is a problem. I'm in agreement with HJ that it may only be a case of slightly over full in the transmission. Thank you! That's what I am gonna run with. I'm still pretty much in shock over Brule agreeing with Steve. :roflmao: ...

F9K9

Anti-seize? I ran into the same issue on my heep. Believe it or not, I had to remove a 1" PA BL, that I had put on it, and install a 1.25" BL for another mod. Bolts froze to everything except body mounts. Thank goodness for air hammers. I don't recall seeing any other references to PA BLs in the he...

F9K9

I am with Steve on this one. Sounds like the transmission might be slightly over full. When heated the fluid expands and you are slobbering some. The transmission vent tube is on the drivers side of the transmission , above the shift shaft. It is a small steel tube. It may have a hose attached and ...

I've recently started prepping my CC for an extended road trip that will probably last 7-9 weeks and cover approx. 3,000 miles. While underneath the rig I found ATF coating much of the underneath of the rig on the driver's side. It began forward of the transfer case and ran back to the gas tank. No ...

The CC is at 53K. To prepare for it's toughest job yet, I had to do some preventative maintenance. It's hitting the road, this coming Saturday, and will easily cover 3,000 miles over the next 6-8 weeks. Replaced Plugs, NGK spark plugs with the recommended Autolite Iridium XP plugs ASP XP605 distribu...
