Hi there, I have a 1992 Jeep Cherokee XJ that has had the engine swapped for what I think is a 1995 Cherokee Engine that is the 6 cylinder variant. I have the automatic transmission. I think it is the 3 speed but I am not quite sure. When I got it, it would start but quickly sputter out unless I floored it. I then discovered it had a leaky line from the transmission to the radiator. I then quickly fixed this line with hose clamps and such. I dumped around 1.5 gallons of transmission fluid in and it was able to run and stay running, although in a very rough state. I got it drivable and noticed that past 1500 RPM, the transmission would slip. I added another gallon and now the transmission can get up to around 3000 RPM before slipping. I also notice that when I start the car, it idles very rough for around 5 seconds while in park and then smooths out. When I shift into reverse or forward drive, it idles rough again. Sometimes when I filled the transmission too quickly the overflow valve would let a little fluid out. I let the car sit and then I could keep pouring. I should also note that the transmission was filled while the vehicle was off and then I would run it for a while. At this point it still slips and while the vehicle runs, I don't know if adding more fluid is the solution as I think there is around 3.5 gallons of transmission fluid in the system right now. The more I add the less it seems to slip, but should I keep adding more? Is there a different solution?

Hello! My parents are looking for a car they can flat tow behind their RV. We went out yesterday and drove a few different vehicles and have it narrowed down to the Jeep Wrangler or Cherokee, Ford Ranger or Chevy Colorado. My dad and I really liked the Wrangler and my mom is undecided. We know Jeep tends to have a bad rap for reliability, but I'm just wondering if it's really something to be concerned about and get some input/suggestions on what people like and have heard or experienced with any of these cars. We are wanting a smaller truck or SUV. We looked at 2020's but are open to lightly used ones as well, but nothing older than about 2017. Any advice or thoughts would be greatly appreciated and if I forgot any info, just ask and I'll do my best to provide the answers! Lol Thank you!

Hello! I have a Jeep Cherokee 2015 that has an auto stop start that hasn't been working. It stopped working a couple weeks after I got it and I just realized the battery was rubbish and had it replaced. The day it was replaced the auto stop/start worked fine. The day after it has not. It keeps saying "Stop/Start not ready. Battery charging" Any advice would be great, thank you!
