I knew where to look. The dreaded oil cooler. However, when I look in the V of the block with a flashlight, I...

Next weekend I am heading to Southern Missouri Off-Road (SMOR) to begin my Badge of Honor chase. So last weekend I changed the oil - it was just about due - and changed my gear oil in my differentials for the first time since I bought the Jeep 3 months ago and after 4,500 miles of driving -...
