i have 2001 trooper 4w limited edition.Today i was driving my truck and it look like my transmission failed because while driving i started noticing that when i pressed the gas it would make a noice like if the transmission dragged a little,and it would do it only when you came to a complete stop and would try to get speed again so at that time i tried to check the oil level but couldnt fing a stick gage.i also notice a light saying check transmission came up and turn off and did not come back on it just gave me a warning. I look at the bottom of the truk i found some transmission oil leakage very minor,it covered the pan but not leaking in excess or anything do you think is a transmission failure or maybe it could be a broken seal or not enough fluid in the pan ..no problems with reverse gear or any other gears just at the time of punching speed.

My 95 Trooper (3.2L DOHC) was freaking out on me. Ocassionally the check trans lights would start flashing along with the air bag light. The tranny would barely start moving and the alt. gauge was pegged at 16 volts. It would dissappear when slowed down (engine RPM's were down) then start running perfect. I changed the alternator and it cured everything. Too much voltage was being produced. I had a power steering leak which covered the alternator in muck & goo and probably led to it's demise.

Wow, a site for Troopers! Fantastic. FIRST HINT OF TROUBLE: drove home one night and my lights started to go bright and dim as I drove and reved the engine but the next night and there after they ran steady...until it rained, and all my dash lights come on, then the engine stalled and I blew out the Fuel Pump relay. Charged, dried drove and next rain, all the dash lights came on and it just eventually died REMEDIES To check for a short, I have disconected the NEG and attached a test light which did not light so I assume there is no short. I hosed the car from hood, tested again, still no sign of short. Attached the NEG and a voltmete: Battery still at 12.67 Started the engine. Still 12.67 Reved the engine, no change Turned on lights, 12.14 Turned of engine, back to roughly 12.6~ Also, when I reved the engineI noticed a "clanking sound' coming from the ALTERNATOR area but couldn't be possitive. QUESTION: Does it sound like a bad alternator to you? Thanks for your help

Replying to: geagleburger (Dec 21, 2007 12:42 pm) Did you figure out that all the goop from the leak caused the demise of your alternator? Did you replace the alt and p/s hose? Any info or advice you have would be greatly appriciated!
