Well, after fixing the hose, and refilling with fresh ATF+4 it's acutally working better now than it was before. It very, very rarely has take off TC shudder. It still occasionally slips into 2nd but much less often. I actually just got the oil changed today. I took it to wal mart but provided the oil and filter. Quaker State Defy 5W-30 and a Mopar MS-090 oil filter. It desperately needs tires that aren't completely awful though lol. Drove it in the snow today and even with Full time 4WD it's still hairy.

I'm pretty sure they are the 225-75-15s but I forgot to look when I had it. I'm looking at these b/c of price. She will have to come up with the money first.

Oh yeah, also the squeal is gone now that we changed the serpentine belt.

A 235/75 or a 30x9.50R15 will fit...and I have to very highly recommend THESE. I run them on my Cherokee, the Kedge Grip is superb. THESE are a bit more money, but would probably be quieter and mightg do better in snow.

I run 255/65R16s (same as 255/70R15) on mine and have just a hair of tire rub on the lower control arms at full lock. 245/70R16 (matches up to 245/75R15) fits about the same (ran those for my last set). If you want good year round tires, I like the Toyo Open Country A/Ts, although I haven't seen the new version yet. They're a hair noisy on pavement, although not bad. They're pretty sticky on dry pavement and do well in the snow.
