thank you sooooo much for posting that. :thumbsup: I just experienced the same thing on my 90. I had swapped out the throttle body (sticking badly) and the old tps didn't want to come off, so I just grabbed one out of the junkyard box to put on the new tb. sure enough, it was doing what you described. I never would have thought to remove the tps harness and try it again. :doh: nothing changed so I tried another tps from the box. this one works great. :) and now I'll be drilling the old tps outta the old tb so I have a good spare. :cheers:

the long travel MJ kit is what I would get

I wouldn't use that. the fixed LCAs (and maybe other things like the trac bar) won't be proper for 6".

those XJ lift leaf packs will be worthless to you. but converting your truck to SOA using your stock leafs will give around 6" of lift.

this only applies to factory bars. aftermarket bars are more universal since they mount differently. :thumbsup:

I've removed the limit. what does it do now?

so you think it's a software issue?

if I remember right, it's set to 1300 pixels. how wide can you possible need? :dunno: there has to be some sort of an upper limit.

that truck was a huuuuge inspiration for me (and much of that wasn't even done to it yet when I first found it). he was one of the first to show his built MJ on the web. http://www.bc4x4.com/ryeguy/truck/comanche.asp

when does it overheat? and how hot is it getting?

would not be the first time I heard of someone's junkyard gauges being bad. :(

but changing the internals of an axle is not for the feint of heart. if the gears are not set up right, it can ruin everything.

I remember that feeling as I headed to moab (wishing that I had been able to borrow a trailer and tow truck). I'm sure you'll be fine. :thumbsup:

what's wrong with the 4wd one?

yes, those ratios are perfectly compatible. :thumbsup: the difference in number is caused by the difference in gear sizes in bigger and smaller axles. the Dana 30 and Dana 44 have different numbers of teeth and that's as close as the manufacturer could come to the same ratio. other examples are 3.07/3.08 and 4.10/4.11

do you know for sure if the brake lights went out at the same time?

is the t-case linkage adjusted properly?

offer still stands if you need a co-pilot. :thumbsup:

checked the fuses? if it's a manual trans, is there any fluid leaking out and running down into the fusebox?

the aussie locker only replaces the spider gears and is pretty easy to install. lockers that replace the entire carrier unit (like the Detroit and the ARB) require re-setting up gears and is quite an involved process. track bar bracket just unbolts. still not sure why your 242 would make noises only in a turn if in 2wd. guess anything's possible though. rebuilding it is about as easy as a rebuild can get. :thumbsup: http://www.drivetrain.com/parts_catalog ... np242.html

I've been running a stainlesssteel band clamp on a butt joint under my 88 right in front of the muffler (ever since the cheapie autozone pipe rusted apart and dropped my muffler onto the highway back in like '99). has held up to DDing and wheeling just fine. :thumbsup:

KJ 8.25s work too. YJs only came with Dana 35s. and ZJ dana 44s should be avoided due to problems usually associated with their aluminum center section.

other strong axles that can work are the 97+ XJ 8.25 and the Explorer 8.8 (95+ have disks).
