Subject: Durango and New SJ
John, and guys, before y'all go screaming off into the sunset about the
new SJ being built on the Dodge Dakota platform, let me say a few things...
>I saw (and drove) some pretty cool vehicles while I was there including the
>Dodge Viper and a 5.9L Grand Cherokee. Unfortunately the only time I drove
>the beefy JGC was in the Rockies near Vale, Colorado so I can't compare how
>powerful it is compared to the 5.2L because of the altitude. However,
>after talking to the guys working on it they say it is not as powerful as
>it should be. Rumor has it that the new Dodge Durango is also gonna have a
>Jeep Grand Wagoneer version, and the letter designation will be SJ. Ugh.
>Chrysler will do anything to make a $ (and even more to save one..)
one, rumors about basing a new FSJ upon existing chassis have been
circulating around for years. The jist I've gotten from a friend is that
MOPAR is actually against the idea... they want Jeep to stay all Jeep.
two, regarding the Durango, and the FSJ version... this may kinda be my
fault. I was talking to my friend about FSJs and the big Dodge truck, and
I mentioned what a fine job Mopar did on the new big Dodge. I told him
that hey, all y'all need to do to have a fine vehicle is tuck that tranny
case up above the frame bottom where it belongs, put hubs on the front axle
instead of the silly axle disconnect, get the tires up into the wheel wells
where they belong, and put flat fenders on it! So that MAY be where the
rumor started.... I understand the Jeep engineers in general are about as
silly a group as we here in the IFSJA are, so there's no telling. For all
I know, they could have already been contemplating such a thing.
But, anyway, the "official" version is that if they do build another big
Jeep, at this time it's far in the future. They've considered it a couple
of times over the last ten years or so, and keep dropping it.
If they DO build it on the Dodge truck chassis, and make the changes I
jokingly (well, not so jokingly) suggested (the flat fenders was the really
joking part), and it doesn't cost $40,000, I'd be PROUD to drive it. With
a Jeep nameplate!
Of course, I'd also go around bragging that it was MY idea... <grin>

Subject: total unmitigated bullkronk
John....
one... the TC is always full unless you pull it out and dump it
two... anytime the engine's spinning, the tranny's pumping fluid... the
front pump is driven by the torque converter / front input shaft, which is
driven by the engine
three... the fluid level goes down shifting from park to neutral because
when you shift through reverse it sends fluid through the
servos/pistons/whatever Mopar uses... on a Ford I can tell you exactly....
four... your tranny gets hot at idle because there's insufficient airflow
through the radiator/tranny cooler.
five... whether you idle in neutral, or park, the fluid path through the
transmission is exactly the same. There is NO difference. Park engages a
MECHANICAL linkage to engage the parking pawl.

On the ones for $1200 did he say what the traction aiding devices were???
I'm assuming that it's probably a locker in the rear and an LSD up front
as that seems to be the most common combo that was used by the Military.
If I can't get a good deal before I'm finished with "Big Chief" I might
consider getting a set. $1200 for both is still better than $1400 - $1600
just for the 60 at Boyce.
Let me know if you come across any other deals like the one you got too.
Thanks,
Brian
