I have now completed the following: A complete inspection of how the tranny cooling system was plumbed. It was not plumbed according to Derale installation instructions. So, I plumbed it correctly trans -> radiator -> cooler -> trans including making all new hoses and using -6an fittings for...

That makes sense, thanks.

Are you plumbing the tranny cooler inline with the factory radiator tranny cooler? Or, leaving the radiator based tranny cooler out of the plumbing?

I didn't follow the thread because it was installed by OP. However, I did read the thread and instructions to validate the install of my cooler. Derale recommends wiring the fan as a puller fan for maximum cooling, so that blue wire to hot as I recall. I check that my fan is indeed pulling by...

Also, I threw a P0218 DTC tranny overheat last time I was out. Advice I can find on the internet says change the fluid including gravity flushing the system. So, I'm going to do that before this weekend also. Shameless plug for the Harbor Freight ICON T7 diagnostic computer, it just works.

Thank you, I believe this is solid advice. It's the 2nd I've heard it; I learned the do trails in low range to preserve the tranny advice last week from a fellow wheeler. I hope it helps. When I go out on Saturday with my spiffy new temp gauge, I will be able to tell.

Deeper gearing is in the plan, working on the budget part of that equation. The deeper gearing is more for crawling around in the rocks than for highway driving. I only drive my rig on the roads to get to and from trails.

Fair, I added my 05 to my profile. 05 TJ, 4.0, 42rle tranny, Lifted, 4.88 gearing, 35" tires Derale fan is working correctly I've not done a fluid flow test, I will do that tomorrow. I did change out the hose for a hose I made, so the leak is fixed, and the temps are down in my test run.

I have a 42rle, with a correctly installed derale 20561 cooler, and I'm having a temp problem. I know I have a temp problem because I finally installed my tranny temp gauge... That's a procrastination story for another time. My gauge is reading 190 or with the probe in the pan, and my ODB2...

Not really, I'm looking for somebody who actually has installed the pair, and real world experience here.

Yea the tranny matters cause it's fat, and I'm thinking a 1350 tcase yoke would hit the tranny unless I give it a lot of downward clock

I'm trying to figure out packaging for a 32RH with an Atlas 2 speed. Who has at 32RH automatic with an Atlas 2 speed transmission? What front yoke did you use? Options seem to be when using a double cardan drive shaft 1310 Yoke 1350 Yoke 1310 Flange 1350 Flange And, what clocking angle did...

Hey, I've gotten a complete tear down done, and I have a couple of questions that maybe you can help me with. Do you recommend hot tanking the case and hard parts, like clutch drums? The output shaft is showing signs of bluing, a file test shows some annealing. I want to source one. My...

I found a truss. The folks at Under Cover Fabworks make a truss kit that can be used on a DynaTrac.

Thanks for all the perspectives. Mostly the jeep will be a trailer queen so, the freeway's will be minimal. I have driven manual valve body in my Dad's hot rods, violent is a good word to describe that 1st to 2nd hit. As a far as pulling the tranny, I've done a couple now, so it doesn't take...

I'm building my TJ and planning to run a reverse manual valve body in the 32RH. I’ll be using a Winters shifter with a GenRight console, so that part is sorted. The transmission has about 110k miles and worked fine before Jeep teardown. My main question is: should I rebuild it now, or run it...

Progress Update I’ve been spending weekends getting the Jeep ready for the build. Tear-down is complete, and I’m starting prep to build it back up. Plans shifted a bit—I ended up pulling the trigger on DynaTrac UD60/UD44 axles. I’ll either sell the built JK axles or run them on my other TJ...

The honest answer is that I'm working with AccuTune, and their weight tables. We went back and forth on the parts so they could advise me on springs, and coilover adjustment. In the end, it's a very informed guess that will be adjusted when the TJ is back on the ground. I'm hoping to avoid some...

How much "problem solving" did you encounter pushing the front forward 2.75"? Did you have to move your steering box? Did you have to get something like the twisted pitman?

I’m aiming for ~99” to 101”, with as much of that as practical coming out of the rear. I'm using a Barnes4WD stretch tank to gain the clearance in the rear. I want better tire placement, better climbs, and fewer compromises up front. Final number will be driven by packaging and how everything...
