Replying to: kufu (Jul 31, 2009 9:46 am) Both hoses are crancase vent hoses. Hose #1 sucks oil fumes from the crankcase via the valve cover and into the engine to be burned. The oil fumes are replaced by clean air from the air filter via hose #2. The direction of flow is shown by the red arrows.

Replying to: kitroll (Aug 04, 2009 4:30 pm) I took it to a tranmission shop who charged me 300.00 to clean all of those little parts and peices in there that worked for about two months   It would appear that the problem is connected in some way with whatever the transmission shop worked on as they fixed it, if only for a couple of months.   Go back to them and check what was actually done in detail.

Replying to: mac24 (Aug 05, 2009 7:42 am) Are you sure it is a transmission issue? Have you run by any local auto part stores like Auto zone to see if it is throwing any codes?   Have you had your differentials (in the axles) and transfer case fluid changed any time recently?   Opening up the differentials may tell you if you have gear damage at the axle itself.   -Paul Replies to this message: kitroll (Aug 05, 2009 4:03 pm) erickpl (Aug 06, 2009 5:02 am)

Replying to: kitroll (Aug 05, 2009 4:03 pm) The wetness could be from humidity, condensation, or a leak. The hesitation sounds like the engine may be throwing some codes. That's why I suggest hitting up Autozone or a place to read any codes your OBDII is tracking.   -Paul
#1594 of 1671 codes by kitroll Aug 06, 2009 (2:14 pm)
ok sorry so i didn't tell you this but the check engine light did come on about a month ago on my to get oil changed then had codes read there was one which was something like fuel air metering they reset it and about a week later giving gas to get on highway it came on again so i changed the thermostat which was bad it came out in 4 pieces i reset it by disc the battery went back to auto zone the code was gone.

Replying to: kitroll (Aug 06, 2009 2:14 pm) To me, sounds like more of an issue with your engine vs your transmission.   -Paul
#1596 of 1671 Re: bad gas mpg on Jeep Wrangler [39jeeper] by jdlj Aug 11, 2009 (9:56 pm)
Replying to: 39jeeper (Jun 14, 2007 6:26 pm) I have an 04 jeep wrangler unlimited 4.0 inline 6 cylinder, it has an airaid air filter, a throttle body lift, 33 inch tires, winch, warn bumpers around with tire carrier, a 2 inch body lift and a 2 inch suspension lift and I get between 16.5 - 17.5 mpg highway and around 15 city. I say all that to say that something doesnt seem right to me regarding your poor fuel mileage. I pulled a basstracker 17.5 foot boat to and all around Colorado and averaged 11 mpg.

Replying to: jdlj (Aug 11, 2009 9:56 pm) With your 33 inch tires, did you regear the differentials? If not, your speedometer (and odometer will be off). So you may be getting decent mileage (but don't expect GREAT mileage with 33's) but just don't realize it.   There are a number of speedo gears available online. You need to check with the dealer for a gear that works with 33" tires and the gearing in your differential (likely 3.73).   -Paul
