Description of the problem	3 days after my 10 year drivetrain inspection,i drove from cleveland ohh to reno nevada. The transmission overheated approx. 10 times requiring me to pull off iinterstate-80 and wait for it to cool. Trucks occasionally weave into the berm where i was parked causing alot of worry. To keep from overheating i had to keep the rpms under 2500. This limited my top speed on level grade to approx. 65 mph in 80 mph speed limit and under 50 mph going uphill. Needless to say a lot of trucks came flying up behind me to pass. The jeep dealership in reno determined that the transmission was over filled ( 65ml at 100degrees vs. Spec of 25-35 ml.). The dealer that did the inspection in cleveland before the trip said they did not overfill it.. The transmission has overheated only 3 times in the previous ten years. Jeep is refusing to compensate me for the $200 diagnostic fee and $122 for a car rental while it was kept overnite at the reno dealership. My regular mechanic does not do transmissions... Says they are tricky. So the only way it got overfilled was by jeep at assembly. There has always been a high pitch whrrr when it gets hot. The 2300 mile drive home (after it was drained to the proper level) was uneventful. I tried to overheat it but it did not. There was no whrrring..
