    What gears?

    Not on a jeep but yessir I have. I’ve done several. My H3 Hummer front and rear most recently. I’m still iffy on some of it but my dad owns a shop and has been a mechanic for 40 years. He’s pretty savvy on setting the crush sleeve and lash so I’ll probably look to him for guidance there. I hope...

    What gears?

    I ordered 4.56’s in Youkon brand. Went ahead and got the whole kit so I can do all the bearings and seals while I’m in there. I like the look and stance with the 32” tires so I think I’ll be happy since that’s the largest tire I will ever run. Today on the highway I was turning 2800ish at 60 mph...

    Sucking gas and low power

    I forgot to post my conclusion. I changed the O2 sensor upstream and I got a new TPS. The idle smoothed out and my short term fuel trims went to normal. Thanks to everyone who chimed in to help.

    Yessir I did ! I changed the upstream O2 and the throttle position sensor and the fuel issue went away.

    What gears?

    Well, I guess it’s what I’m referring to as OD ??? I can feel it shift through all three gears. If I let up slightly it drops the RPMs by around 500 and I start to lose speed. It’s actually the torque converter locking up 🙄 I reckon. It sure feels like an OD. When it locks up the 4 pissy...

    What gears?

    I’d like to see around 2800 rpm when she hits OD. I think the 4.56 will do the job swell.

    What gears?

    Also ! Do I have the Dana 30 and 35 front and rear diffs ? There are no tags at all on either diff. I’m assuming it’s the Dana 30/35 with 3.73 gears.

    What gears?

    Ok. So after my acts in futility to squeeze all the ponies I can out of the 2.5L I finally concede defeat. I’ll say it. You were all right !!! Ok now that we have that behind us. I’m going to re gear. I’m seeing lots of conflicting posts so forgive my ignorance. I have the 1997 TJ with the 2.5L...

    4.0 throttle body swap

    Ok. I know it’s been done. And I know the opinions on it are as wide apart as a trailer park girls knees….but….. it cost me $20 for the used TB so I said what the hell. I marked the intake and ground off the overlap so it would match the 4.0 opening. Some fool already put a TB spacer on it. Why...

    Sucking gas and low power

    Yessir. Cat was removed and straight piped by a previous owner. That was going to be my first guess till I rolled unde yessir. That was my first guess until I roll d under and seen it straight piped by a previous owner. I think imma replace the upstream O2 and see what happens.

    Sucking gas and low power

    Hello all. I’m new to the Wrangler world. I owned a tank of a Cherokee many years ago. Anywho on to my issue(s). My 1997 TJ 2.5L is idling pretty rough. I noticed today if it sits and idles for a few minutes it is extremely sluggish almost like it it loading up on fuel. A quick scan today showed...
