2006 Jeeps don't have the 7/70 My two jeeps have run great, my old 93 had 200k miles I think and wasn't anywhere near giving up. My current 98 has about 140k and it is also doing great, I've got a leak in the transmission oil pan, but that is only $20 and a few hours of work, prolly fix that when it warms back up. The leak is so small right now it doesn't cause any problems.
