Driving up to Flagg, should I have the o/d off or on??

TonyT

ON! Unless you really need the downshift.

I just had my entire transmission replaced ('09 w/ 44K.) Didnt have any problems until pushing the Jeep really hard on the way to Sedona. When I arrived, the hot oil light came on and the Jeep went into limp mode. The folowing week the trans would slip out of gear at stoplights. Then the transmission light came on.

Off on inclines/hill climbs. On, on level freeway...

Wait.. What? You guys are contradicting eachother or am I just not getting the whole o/d thing?

Rather than taking either of our advice, I think it is best to understand how OD works...and you can make the right decision for your application/driving/destination.

TonyT, I'm from CO and am in the PHX area for about 2 months. I'll plan on meeting up if that's alright. Can you point me to your group discussion board?

SUNFLOWER LOOP IS CLOSED GUYS!!! Totally un-passible until a dozer gets in there at the first Sycamore Crossing it is extremely washed out.

Check with the Mesa Ranger District before you go!!

Glad to have you. Up at the top of the forum is a tab that says GROUPS. Select it and look for the PhoenixJK's. I don't believe there's any requirements and all you have to do is select join and you're in. I'll PM you the info and how to get a hold of us.

The ranger station has been called and they have assured that the trail will be open unless there is another natural event damaging the area. A friend of mine is leading a group on the morning of the 1st. The restriction lifts the evening of April 30th.
