KCJeep's got a new ride!

[michaelluscher]

Looks sharp

The 3.5 won't cause problems, and the trans is decent

Keep an eye out for coolant drips, water pumps on these are quite a job

You say AWD, I say did anyone service/check the fluid level in the PTU?

It's a $1k+ part, but if checked can be saved

Enjoy the new ride

Thanks all!

I looked through the fill hole again, first time since at the dealership. I can see quite a bit, and everything I see gleams shiny silver. So any dirty concerns I may have had are unfounded I think.

It's hot draining right now. It's getting Magnatec 5w30 and a Motorcraft FL-400s (build date is prior to the conversion).

Greg, friends don't let friends drive with 20 grades.

Thanks Michael. No I haven't gotten that far yet, today has been my first day to even mess with it.

Haha, I can agree to disagree. Again, congrats on the new ride. It will make quite the comfortable commuter I am sure.

I prefer the Duratec and Aisin trans. That joint GM/Ford trans in the newer one is a POS
