I tried both 2771 and 2791. 2791 keeps things cooler. He is a little louder.

Reviving this thread for my 5.3 LS with 4L60E TJ. I am running 4.56 gears with 33 inch tires. Dana 44 front and read. It is not that fast at all, I expected it to be a little faster. How is your experience?

2771 is not the right fan for TJ in hot areas. 2791 is the correct version. Also, when you replace the fan clutch, replace the fan itself to 6 fan Derale Blade. This will significantly improve your cooling.

Thanks. Seems like I am getting the correctlync and then reassessing the situation after getting it installed.

I am experiencing especially bad wandering when I am breaking hard and the front kinda dives. I understand that when the front dives, the steering and track bar are no longer in the parallel plane, and this basically leads to steering jumping all over. Let's assume that I can replace knuckles (I...

I bought TJ and need help identifying the components of the front suspension. The steering knuckles look strange, as well the steering linkage itself. Also, I get pretty strong steering wandering when pressing brakes. Like left to right, right to left etc. Still don’t have the caster/ pinion...

I believe that I already did. I am transplanting https://ebay.us/m/9ygPBd TJ speedometer housing on top of JK 241 rear plate. It is supposed to work just fine.

Hi folks, I am rebuilding my NP241OR. The rear side of the case is damaged, so I am planning to take rear side from JK NP241, which are a little stronger. This will require some work for shift fork adaptation, due to difference in hole depth between JK and TK casings. Also planning to use...

IIf you apply a lot of torque to the front at high speed and the steering wheel is turned to the maximum left for example, doesn't it breakthe ujoint? I thought that u-joints have issues at high angles at high speeds.

Question to all the folks here: After you upgrade to NP242, now you have torque going to front wheels in all situations if selected. How you deal with the fact that you have front shafts with U-joints instead of RCVs? Are you taking Dana 30 RCVs from XJ or something?

If you have LJ, then you can read transmission temperature from OBD. You dont have to use a bung and add thermal sensor into it. I had to do it because I have TJ 2004 which (similar to 2003) has separate TCM and transmission temperature is not readable through OBD. 2005 and 2006 have TCM...

It is always in the wrong gear because it is simply not geared right. 4.88 with 35s - it is correct gearing for 31s:)

At least on flat highways of Houston metro, the below combo works fine. Other places (a lot of hills or mountain roads) I would go much deeper. 1. 4.56 for 30 inch tires - 2552 RPM at 70 MPH 2. 4.88 for 31 inch tires - 2640 RPM at 70MPH 3. 5.13 for 32 inch tires - 2668 RPM at 70 MPH 4. 5.38 for...

I am targeting my gearing for comfortable daily driving in 2HI. Not doing any crazy trails, so Low gear (NP231) is working well for me, like in Bend Bend national park. Understanding what I understand today, I would use the following gearing of (4.0, 42RLE): 1. 4.56 for 30 inch tires - 2552 RPM...

The folks who recommend 4.88 for 33s don’t know what are they talking about. I have 4.56 (very close to 4.88), and 31 is the maximum that you can do without loosing power. You need to have at least 2500RPM for 70MPH. The overdrive ratio is 0.69, so it shifts into overdrive, you get easily into...
