    Doug saved my 02 WJ (260k miles) cooling issue on my 4.7 hydraulic fan that I was chasing for 2 years. Had to change head gaskets because of it. I saw his video and bit the bullet and bought 3 quarts of the correct Mopar hydro fluid. 20 bux a quart. Flushed it and now that fan will suck a shop rag through the grill! Get the Mopar HYDRAULIC PS fluid!

Got it done in time despite Mother Nature.

It has a mechanical fan, not the hydraulic fan. The dealership said Mopar +4 fluid, but I don’t really want to spend $10 a quart on it and I think it just has Red ATF fluid in it. It was leaking red fluid. Can I just get a big jug of ATF +4 and flush it out and be done with it? Im getting annoyed at this point 😅

    I was going to ask if you can completely fill it up with Valvoline 5931 because that Mopar 10838 is a nightmare to find now, but it seems like Valvoline 5931 is fine based on your videos and other comments. I won't say any names but I have placed a few orders of 10838 only to have people send me ATF plus 4, some of the companies were rude about it and told me I was "wrong" when I tried to return it. I have gone from mechanics advising me to sell my car to fixing it myself. You and Doug are life savers, I owe you guys some beers if I ever meet you! JEEP MY LIFE BUD!

    MS10838 is the current spec, but MS5931 was the previous spec prior to being superseded, and it absolutely still works for originally spec'ed vehicles such as the WJ.
    It's also a lot cheaper, as you note there is a Valvoline fluid that meets MS5931 spec. That's all I use, and it works great.
    It blows my mind that a dealership gave you a +4 ATF. Actually, you know, sadly... it isn't really all that surprising. A lot of guys only know what the computer tells them.

      @@ProjectDanH Found it in the junkyard, but spend 2 days pulling off all the important parts. Got probably 1 more to the job. Can't believe someone put this in the yard. Also pulled a Mopar remanufactured computer (2016) from a 2000 W.J 4.0L. Let me know if you need some parts.
