I had some older Meguires #3 Carnuba wax that was left over, that I used today.
I need to buy some updated wax and gold class, I would like to try.
If it it doesn’t mark up the trim, that would be very helpful ! :)

It's too bad that the Mother's Back To Black doesn't last that long. :(
Sorry to hear about your transmission woes. I also wonder what condition the valve body is in.
With all the codes & particulate matter, IMHO it may be time to consider a complete re-build. Jasper transmissions comes to mind.
Another option would be to find another lower mile 2005 42RLE from a...
The engine oil dipstick still appeared to be clean, that is until I drained it YUK !:eek:
Nice to have new synthetic & Mobil 1 filter, to get me through fall & upcoming winter. :)

I decided years ago to keep the OEM lower control arms, and have a shop press in new Spicer bushings.
The new bushings got filled in the cut away slots, with windshield urethane, and allowed to cure properly...

In January 2023, it was an unusual amount of snow that fell on the west Coast.
One storm overnight, we got a foot, and it kept snowing!
I was hoping for Global warming!...
It took a few hours to dig the Jeep out~!
Was sunny & warm most of the summer, with little to no rain.
Well that is about to change, as many continuous days of rainfall is expected now on the West Coast.
When winter arrives, I wonder if it may be a repeat of last winter !! :)
