I've decided its time to swap my dana 35 axle now that I have swapped out my puny 4 banger for a magnum V8 5.9L https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/97-tj-with-a-manual-heart-of-a-5-9l-magnum.56182/. I found a 2003 Rubicon that is a rust bucket, nickname Rusticon. The plan is to remove the D44s...

Merry Christmas everyone and thanks for your help! I made my deadline. My TJ turns 25 this month. Its a great feeling for my 25 year old to finally get out of the garage and get on with his life.

So how would you go about testing the 5 volt circuit? I'm guessing testing continuity from the PDC to ECM first?

I bought a MT2500 at @Wildman s recommendation. I haven't messed around with fuel sync yet because engine needs to be running and this thing is too loud to keep running and try diagnostic work. Is it fairly easy to set fuel sync on this mt2500? Is there a video that walks you through it? What is...

Fuel level gauge is working along with battery charge. The speedo was not working. Ill have to recheck the oil gauges I used these 2 hoses for the bottom radiator See attached pic for lower hose setup. Another Jeeper said it fit perfectly with a 1.5" to 1.5" adapter. Mine is setup without an...

I had a TPS code and realized that Jeep switched the wires from the Dodge. I believe I have the engine wrapped up. Took it for a test drive and the engine hesitates when accelerating. Right before its ready to shift into second its like the RPMs drop and causes a reduction in power. It did seem...

Thanks. Im about 3 months in on this swap project and it has been really fun with a few frustrating points (clutch issues, finding out I needed to change my tranny, wrestling with rear track bar bolts). Im hoping to have all kinks worked out by the end of the year.

This weekend I cleaned up the wiring a little with some red and black wire protectors. I also installed my lift kit which was Quadratec's 2.5" coil springs with Fox shocks and I added 1.25" coil spring spacers up front because of the added weight from the engine. I had previously added a 1.25"...

The black outer sleeve on my throttle body cable was not fully in the firewall receiver. I pushed it in and the TB cable fits perfectly now. Because it wasnt in all the way when I started the engine it was like revving the engine over 2000 RPMs, making it even louder than idle with open headers...

I had to hook up the fuel pump connector before the asd would allow the starter to crank. Once I had crank I hooked up the spark plugs and wires and dang this thing roars with the open headers. So exciting to hear it running. I noticed that the throttle body cable is leaving the throttle...

I bought a rod about an inch longer than the stock rod and put it in. Clutch pedal seems maybe just a little stiffer. As far as disengaging... I put my left foot inside Jeep to press clutch, while hanging out of the Jeep I reached under and turned driveshaft. I definitely looked like a fool. The...

You bought a longer rod or made one?

12"

I installed a new pressure plate and clutch disc. Still not disengaging my transmission when I press clutch pedal in. Im scratching my head. It still feels squishy when I press clutch pedal in.. The master and slave that I'm using are intended for my wrangler with a 2.5L. Is it possible that I...

Great info and this is a really cool feature of my TJ that I didn't even know about.
