If interested, I have a Snap-On MT2500 (aka the "red brick") that is capable of setting fuel-sync on OBD-II Dodge JTEC computers up to 2002 and also a SCT Tuner (that you can use with any number of tuners). I was about to list them for sale on eBay but was thinking of waiting until after the holidays (I will be out of town and don't want it to sell the day I head out on vacation).
If interested, let me know and shoot me a PM. I got both on the cheap and will always pass deals along to others, especially Magnum swapped Jeepers

Fuel level gauge is working along with battery charge. The speedo was not working. Ill have to recheck the oil gauges
I used these 2 hoses for the bottom radiator
See attached pic for lower hose setup. Another Jeeper said it fit perfectly with a 1.5" to 1.5" adapter. Mine is setup without an adapter. One end fit into the other snugly. The upper hose is a Dayco C71659.
I bought a MT2500 at @Wildman s recommendation. I haven't messed around with fuel sync yet because engine needs to be running and this thing is too loud to keep running and try diagnostic work. Is it fairly easy to set fuel sync on this mt2500? Is there a video that walks you through it? What is the recommended sync?

So how would you go about testing the 5 volt circuit? I'm guessing testing continuity from the PDC to ECM first?
You set your fuel sync by turning the distributor. Timing is set by the PCM so unless you have a tune that changes it it's factory.
Start by checking your voltage at each or your sensors. Also check all your grounds because if it is missing any it will cause all sorts of issues.
Also tons of info and suggestions on this thread over on JF.

Merry Christmas everyone and thanks for your help! I made my deadline. My TJ turns 25 this month. Its a great feeling for my 25 year old to finally get out of the garage and get on with his life.

I put on 35" Cooper STT Pro tires and went with classic chrome bullet hole wheels. I still want to flash the PCM because it came out of a 5.2L manual and my Jeep is now a 5.9L manual. I've heard that the 5.2 PCM is fine to run with the 5.9L but I still would like it matching up. Anyone have a recommendation on who would be good to flash the PCM? I'm also just starting to look at seat options but I don't want to spend $800+.
I'll second Flyin Ryan. He tuned my 5.2 ECU to my 5.9 engine and I had a great experience. He's a busy guy, so do be patient with him.
I had a similar debate with my seats. My factory buckets were comfy and in good shape, but the vinyl was terrible in the summer and a seat cover wasn't going to fix that. I started looking at a factory replacement but found that the cost per seat really wasn't that much less than a real off road suspension seat. I ended up deciding on Mastercraft Baja RS seats and have been pleased with them. They're a big investment, but that seat is where you spend all your time in the Jeep and it needs to be right. Don't get hung up on any specific brand of seat - find options you like a find a way to actually sit in them. The best seat on the market does you no good if they don't 'fit' you.
