Guys, I am chasing my hot idling problems, and need some help. So when I idle, more than let’s say 5 or 10 minutes with ambient air above 103F (Texas heat and humidity), i see that intake air temperature (IAT), climbs up and reaches 221F. The transmission is at 184F, and Derale ecooler is...

Guys, I need your advice on Wagoneer axle swap. I was looking into Dana 44 options that can fit TJ, and found Wagoneer Dana 44 front axle. It fits width wise, and seems to be strong. I am looking into running 33s or 35s in future, and want to have the option of switching to 5.38 gears in future...

Hi folks, I am working on my TJ, and I have the stock brakes (front and rear disks, pads and calipers, master cylinder etc all new) perfectly tuned. However, the stopping power with my 31s is OK not more than that, I assume that this is how TJs came out of factory. I am asking myself how that...

I have found that there is too much of the play in my front (HP Dana 30 from XJ). Basically I see little bit of up and down and in and out movement, and the pinion seal is leaking. I am getting prepared to adjust the preload, which I believe is the cause for the issue. Wanted to get some...

High Folks, I have upgraded my front axle to HP30 from XJ. I measured the driveshaft angles VS pinion angles, And I see the following: Driveshaft at 0.4 degrees Pinion at 3.8 degrees That gives delta of 3.4 degrees. I suspect that it is too much of an angle for a front driveshaft. If I...

Upgraded mine to XJ Dana 30HP with lockers and deeper gears, so don’t need this one. 103K miles, 3.73 gears, all factory in a great shape. I have a hoist, so all you will need is to bring your truck

Hi Folks, I am having some issues with my 2004 42RLE with 105K miles. Have to notice that in last 6 months I was having issues with engine running hot (root caused to be bad water pump). ATF+4 level is really just a little bit overfilled (half quart maybe). I have multiple issues with it: 1...

So, in last 6 month I have been dealing with issues of my rig running hot (replaced the entire cooling system pretty much as a result) and I am having some issues with my tranny acting funky, like sometimes slipping in first, for example or not picking up reverse gear (basically I put into...

This is a stock driveshaft that fits TJ 4.0 with Auto and Dana 35. Will not fit if it is manual, or Dana 44. Only 4.0, Auto and Dana 35, All TJ years

Has 4.56 gears and spool. Was removed from a setup with truss, so truss was removed and it needs some work on it to weld perches. No shafts. Braking setup is also included (drums, backing plate with brake cylinder and pads) - see the picture.

Selling my Dana 35. Installed Dana 44, so don’t need it anymore. No oil leaks (I have replaced wheel seal a year ago). Oil was replaced same time, a year ago. Comes with e-brake lines. Was working perfectly fine, I have inspected the gears and shafts for any damage or cracks a year ago.

I am replacing my leaking water pump, and see that it seems like the water pump was eating the cylinder wall. Is this expected? Did you guys see anything like this?

Hi Folks, I have upgraded my front axle to XJ dana 30 HP. One of the issues that I ran into with this axle was that it has old style hub on one side and new style on another. Old) 1990 through 1999.5 - Older Chrysler type unit hubs, use Composite dimension brake rotors, ( Timken Part # 513084...
