Yep forgot about doing a dual transfer case. And since it is in a Cherokee there isn't any issues with rear drive shaft length.

I ran a TeraLow gears in my 1997 TJ 4cyl w/35" tires. I found that I could rev the engine just fine in 1st, 2nd, & 3rd gear with no issues. I had no problems in the snow using those gears either. I really like the TeraLow but had also heard about the problems people had with them. But in the 2...

Ron is an ONLINE only store. But thanks for the suggestion.

I am about to rebuild the engine for my Jeep. I need a good shop that I can deal with over the phone since there isn't any close to me. I am looking for some place in Yakima or close to I-90 on the westside. It is a Dodge 5.9 (360) Magnum engine. Any recommendations would be great. Thanks

Not really sure that I want to chage from the Hummers was just asking to gain a little more knowledge. One of the key things I am seeing is that other than 15" rims most tires are 6 ply or higher for the bigger rims. I know my Jeep is a pig but I still don't need 8 ply or 10 ply tires. So going...

Currently I am running 16.5" rims with 38" TSL SX tires. The rims are Hummv rims that I recentered to 4.25" BS and 5 on 5.5 BP. I am looking towards when it is time to replace my current tires. Do I go back to 15" rims? Move up to 16" 17" or stay with 16.5" rims? And why do you recommend the...

Bent WHAT???? I am not set on moving it was more looking for ideas. I am having clearance issues which was one of the reasons I was thinking about moving it. I had thought about putting the winch on the axle or making a mount for it above the axle with a straighter pull. I will have to look at...

Jim, Some of my bolts came loose right after I installed the ram but I used locktite the next time and they have stayed tight since. The Purple Cranium cover helps too with the recessed bolts. I tried that before but with the trackbar bracket and then making room for the air bags I had issues...

Won't work with my setup but yes I do think they make double arm steering arms.

I need to make some more space under the front of my Jeep. Currently I have the Hydro-assist ram attached to the diff cover on the swapped in HP44 axle. The axle is Waggy width. So I am woundering if I can move the hydro cylinder to attach on the pass side. But to do so I would have to put the...

Sounds like a cut coolant line that resulted in the engine siezing. I doubt the two are not related. And even a minor fender bender could have done damage to the engine. Good luck on getting it covered by the insurance company.

Nope no SMOG testing over here in Central Washington. So yes I could get away with gutting my Cat. And yes I am thinking about doing just that. And then of course once I did I would take it to a shop that has the tools to diagnos what is wrong with my engine to make it run like it has.

What kind of tech is that?? Thanks for nothing.

TreeClimber, Yes on a Dodge/Jeep the insturment cluster gets it reading from computer. Now I have heard of some folks fooling the stock computer by using all the stock engine sensors. Then the only thing on the cluster that won't work is the Tach. But you already have your custom dash.

I am running the stock gauges with my swap. This was one of the reasons for me sticking with a Mopar engine. If you blend the two wiring harnesses using the truck and TJ harness the truck computer fits right where the Jeep computer was. Before my scanner took it's crap on me the Temp...

Chop Shop thanks for the idea. Yes it is the damn cat!! The exhaust is only 3 years old. I had it installed in June of 06. So I guess I'll replace it or maybe just gut this one. Now to figure out what clogged this one.

No I am talking about the Scanner as I said before. Your right if the OBD II port was bad then your right, it would be an indication of a problem. One other thing I tried was replacing my ECU with a spare I have.

Engine had around 50,000 when it was pulled. It now has maybe 5-6,000 more miles since I installed it. A new exhaust was installed at that time. I had not thought about the Cat but it does make sense the way it is running.

I guess I forgot a little more info. The engine is from a 1998 Dodge Dakota. It is a 5.2L V-8 Yes Mike your right with out a scan tool to give some code or show what sensor isn't working it is pretty much a crap shoot. I was just looking for any ideas. I plan on taking the Jeep into the...

So about a month ago I took my son up to Little Naches for a day of 4wheeling. It was his first ever REAL 4wheeling trip and his first trip out in his new Scout that he had bought. Of course everyone thought I would end up towing him back into camp. Well of course things don't normally end up as...
