i think this is the proper procedure for replacing spider gears. 🫪
 
Don't know if you've ever looked at or considered one.... But I had a Warn O/D on my old CJ5 and it was a nice addition even with the V-8 I had in it. There is one for sale on Marketplace near me. I am willing to go look at it if you're interested.

So patience has paid off, Yesterday, I got a lead for a rear axle from a M38... Narrow, offset Dana 44 in Colorado. A friend will be picking it up today

Then this morning I found a deal on a Big hole D-18 with a warn overdrive.

The axle was $100 and the Tcase/OD is $250. Add the $100 T-19 and free 4.3 vortec and I've assembled one hell of a driveline for not much money. Sure, they all need to be rebuilt, adapters need to be purchased ect, But I have projects for the next year or so.

Don't worry, I have started focusing on the TJ again. Collecting parts. Will any old Gen IV gas pedal work for the LT swap?

LT is gen v. Can you use any gen IV pedals?
 
Don't know why I said LT. mine is a 2011 5.3 from an avalanche. I believe that makes its an LMG. So should be Gen IV

Don't take this as gospel but i think it is going to depend on the pcm you use and the operating system.

The pcm/program is what is going to dictate the pedal pinout at the pcm and what is compatible.

Do a little research and see if trucks and cars have the same amount of wires and if they go to the same pcm connector spots
