JeepO Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Hello everyone, I just wanted to introduce myself. After searching for five years I finally found the perfect MJ, only had 120K miles. The owner said the engine was making knocking noise and was very loud. I brought it home and it turned out to be a really bad power steering pump. Replaced the pump, engine sounds great I drove it to work and home, parked it for two days. This morning I turned it on engine still sounds great. I put it in reverse and it would not move, slipped it into 1st and it would not move. E-brake is off, transmission shifts into all gears, transfer case shifts from 2H, 4H and 4L fine. I decided to lift the rear end, I turned the wheels clock wise, both wheels turned same direction (limited slip axle) and counter clock wise both wheels turned. I dropped the truck back down and for $#!&s and giggles I attempted to drive it again, aaaaaand guess what??? It reversed fine and moved forward fine. WTF? Should I be concerned??? Any ideas or comments are appreciated!! Mike Phoenix, AZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JeepO Posted September 13, 2014 Author Share Posted September 13, 2014 Noooo, When it happened that's what I first thought about, so I made sure it was on 2H. But it would not move. When I lifted the rear end I put everything on neutral. Dropped it back down put T-Case in 2H then everything was fine. Thanks for your comment.

Jeep Driver Posted September 13, 2014 Share Posted September 13, 2014 Ebrakes got stuck. Did it pop at any point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JeepO Posted September 14, 2014 Author Share Posted September 14, 2014 No pop. And I did think about the E-Brake getting stuck, that was not the case tho. At least I don't think so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser54 Posted September 15, 2014 Share Posted September 15, 2014 What's your trans fluid look like? Look at Post 10 in my link below. Actually, you need to look at more than that one, like 1 through 5..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
