When cousin Eddie says it on lampoons Christmas vacation
Check your transmission fluid. If it is low and has a burnt smell then your problem was an overheated transmission. You should inspect everything under the Jeep to see what was burning. Was it wiring or insulation or grease or the rubber hoses. These are just a few things to check. The cause of the fire was also the cause of your shifting problems. The transfer case uses Dextron III transmission fluid just like the Jeeps transmission. Hope this helps. Jeeps are strong vehicles and can take a lot of abuse, but always check all the fluid levels before starting on any trip or task like trailer pulling.
You don't tin after use, you clean it (by wiping on a wet sponge) to remove the flux. If you leave the flux on the hot iron, it corrodes the tip. You then tin the iron (if needed) BEFORE you use it. Safety goggles keep your work and safety group (and your insurance) happy. Very useful if you have a workmate that practices 'flicking'.
If you are moving to DC, I hope you have a job firmed up (in writing) that pays a good salary. A good salary is over $65K just to afford an apartment in a decent area. The apartment will cost around $1500 to $2500 per month. Sure, you can find cheaper, but it will not be safe.I suggest you contact the Washington Post newspaper and get the Friday issues and the Sunday issues. Friday has the Weekend section and Sunday has real estate. Is it safe for the most part? No! There have been 175 murders so far this year in DC. Street crime like robbery, car jackings, and assaults are up over 50%.The Mayor (Fenty) actually has said on television that if residents or tourists are out after dark, they should carry $20 at all times in a cheap wallet. This way, when they are mugged that the robber will hopefully be satisfied with the $20 and not shoot or knife them. You will not lose your real wallet with your ID, credit cards, etc. People are a diverse crowd. In certain areas, it is 100% Hispanic (most illegal), other areas are 100% black, and other areas almost 100% white, young, and well-to-do.
