Going the wrong route LOL
13 hr 31 min , great weather here 28 degrees and very over cast
no ice chunks , .....today
Oil change day. Did that, then rotated 5 tires and lubricated JBA ball joints and track bar ends. Worn out after this job… this pandemic has me out of shape. The KK is doing good though. She’s just a sneeze under 190,000 miles.
Doing well
How many miles are on the lift now ?

Cranked up the heat in the barn, changed oil on mine and the wife's today. Also checked all the fluids and air in the tires.
The lift has 130,000 miles on it! The 4” springs are still at about 3.5” and the Bilsteins are not leaking. I’m on my 2nd set of JBA ball joints and track bar ends, but I’d say that’s pretty good.
I found a KK transmission for sale with only 80K miles on it. Made an offer. I’ll let you know if I end up with it. My 42RLE is no spring chicken at 190K, and is running Instant Shudder Fixx in the ATF to keep it smooth. Still works fine but I want to have the next one on deck for when the inevitable happens.
How many miles have your 42RLE’s ran before they died?
Also, have you personally replaced a transmission before? I am looking for experiences and stories. How did it go?
A friend of mine just bought a house that has a garage, and he and his wife said I can work on my Jeep there if I ever need to. That’s a game changer! Would never attempt changing a transmission while parked on the street in front of my house.

Time to crank it up some
or is that were you had it ?
I forget
Used to be able to remember everyone's and their height but,,,,,,to many
Could crank the front up some, but the 1/2” sag is mostly in the back. (Trailer towing is probably why.) I could add another rubber isolator on top of the rear springs, I suppose. I will get out tomorrow and measure it properly with a tape measure instead of eyeballing it.
Was just curious
Me too now!
Ha. The seller of the KK transmission agreed to my offer. I’ll go take a look at it tomorrow hopefully and see how it is. It’s out of a wrecked 2011 with only 80K miles on it.

I misread that and initially thought you said cruel Mexican. (Which sounds intriguing, in its own way.)

Well true... Always find something extra to do lol
2011 42RLE with 80K and some pine needles on it.
Rear view
Front view. The torque converter has a little surface rust. It was stored outdoors.
And the seller threw in some front rotors and a caliper for free.
I will have a little cleanup to do on this transmission since it has been two years since it ran, and was stored outdoors under a tarp. But it looks in decent shape, and no rust on the electrical connectors.
