Default Thank you

Thank you everyone of the answers. I will defenitely start watching out for leaks especially in the summer.

Based on the answers that I got, what do you guys think the cause of JKs catching fire? Do you think it's beacuase of the trans fluid overheated and leaked from the dipstick and that went into Exhaust? I read something like that in other thread.

Anyway, thanks a lot for your help!

It's nice to have a forum like this and people who know a lot about Jeep.

It has not been sustantiated, but it is extremely possible.
Therefore, I installed a temp gauge to see if I need a cooler. I have never come close to overheating.

I have not read much about the fires, but when I bought my Jeep used (3900 miles on it), I found branches and brush stuck up inside the stock tranny skid plate. When I pulled the stuff out it was hot. I was thinking........that seems like it could catch fire!

Yes, I heard someone noted the same thing. That would be something I should be careful, too. Thanks!
