Yep hear, I was really interested in how this was resolved with OP but no answer yet. I have 2" lift on front and 1.75" on back on 32s for 3 years, and just recently noticed a slight noise in drive train between 45 and 55 mph. Tires are balanced so changing diff/tfr case fluids next to check...

Following! RobM did the SYE fix your problem or have you fixed the problem yet?

Thanks to all input!

It's a 99 4.0

Does anyone have experience with a Gates or GMB water pump? I know, mopar is the one, but they are not available unless you want to pay north of $260, if you can even find it. So for kicks, let's forget mopar for a minute, and entertain me with any real experiences with the aforementioned...

Just looked yesterday and no mopar. Can't find mopar anywhere.

The only mopar water pump I see at Amazon is $457.33, aint payin that! There is so much conflict on parts #s and prices, it's hard to know what to buy. Ebay didn't offer much better. I found an item with #4626054AF on amazon but no pictures, no reference to wrangler, no reviews or questions...

117K!! Right on it! And I don't have an idea how old the cat is!

Good, that gives me more confidence!!! Thanks!

Yep, 307s with the heavier tires. It jumps through lower gears but 5th is a struggle, lol. If that's just the way it is I can live with it.

Yes, this I wondered too. I have no idea how old the cat is either but it does run great at lower speed and through the gears, even when hot. Could the vacuum reservoir have this affect?

No it just slowly drops speed once i get it to 65 or so, especially on cruise, then it will slowly gain it back. Never hear a thing. I know I have the tire and stock gearing issue but that really doesn't bother me since it's a 5sp. I really was wondering if anyone heard of this that had a cat...

Haha, yep, this is what I've figured too. Having had a YJ and a CJ7, all inline 6s, none of them go fast but they all go through!!! (y)

I guess you dint read the part about the 2.5" lift and 32s, and all the other stuff I did to it. If there were other mods I would have listed them.

99 TJ 4.0 5sp. Once hit highway speeds, jeep slows down, feels like it bogs down. Does this whether on cruise or not. Weird since it runs well around town, rather quick too. Since I've owned it for 3 years, replaced O2 sensors (NGK), new mopar IAC valve, just changed plugs and wires recently...
