Hi Rob....I have driven the jeep only for 10-15min intervals and then slowly with no high speed and with only 1 person aboard.....maybe 130-140 is correct but I doubt it as it is more than likely the original thermostat.

Both axels have now been drained and refilled with motomaster 80w-90 Gl4-5.

I have found the 1/4 inch plugs at the rear wheels....the overflow plug works-plungers move freely....all I need to is buy 1/4 in zerks from CT.

I have also purchased 3 liters of Redline 75w-90 MT-90 trans oil to replace oil in trans & transfer case....this oil is GL1, 2 & 3 rated....its a full synthetic so I hope it does not puke out too much at $21 CDN a bottle.

Again, thanks for all the tidbits.....they are priceless.....If you have anymore maintenance items for this novice M38A1 owner...please do not hesitate.

Cheers,

les
