idk what it was but it seems to be better now it was at 1000 steady this mornin when i tried her, i gave it a tweak down to 900-800 maybe itll go back to normal after a lil while :roll:

ive heard even the new D44 in the some wrangler packages are basically 35s with upgraded shafts. dinky versions of their predecessor. true or no?

:mad: background: rainy, spun the truck ended up backwards for a moment (not used to manual) in 2nd gear goin backwards, slam on brakes stop, hit clutch. engine revving really high somethin weiiird in the tranny going on. cut off engine, chill for a sec, turn truck back on, revs at a constant 1500. i THINK the tranny is fine the @$$ end feels a little weird but I'm not sure if thats me hypochondriac-ing or not. so engine now idles at 1500 rpm. whattyou think went wrong? should adjusting the throttle with the allen wrench in the engine compartment fix it? did i mess anything up by being backwards in 2nd with the clutch out? i hope i didnt blow it. thanks for any insight, -nick

I live about 550 miles from Tellico :cry: The club I belong too is planning a trip there sometime this summer, and I will elt you know when if you are game. Be advised the guys I run with are serious about wheeling though, and parts breakage and flops are common my brother might could run with yall, XJ on 33's locked rear. (right now its about to undergo a 231 swap (blown 242 for the second time) and remanu. 4.0) but i think ill be stuck on the stock trails. lemme know.

sticky? :rotf:

well if its a rattle can job you could always rattle can jeep comanche on it somewhere :banana: magnets YAY!

well once you broke them loose it would be a 10 minute job right? ' (i like his avatar, but i had to go back and find the pics of his real rig to see which one he was talkin bout in this thread. :razz: )

ugh. how come all the MJ'ers live up north. powwow at tellico, nc sometime? anyone? me and my brother would be in a couple months.

BWAH! nice work... can i order a set in faded 89red, with power everything? hah. -nick

i noticed one person said the spring perches needed to be WIDER than the XJ another said NARROWER. which is it? (or i suppose i coudl be less lazy and get out a tape measure, that XJ44 needs to go in sometime soon anyways.)

it only takes a moment to change shafts right? why not square shaft for the hardcore offroading days, and keep the other for road driving. and, 24 INCHES OF TRAVEL!!!! whatd you shackle reverse it? holy CRAP.

sounds like a load of phooey. "how much ** can i possibly make up to sell this truck i wrecked and swapped odometers into?" lol does a 231 even mate up to a torqueflight? EVER? and was the 4.0 even in pre-stages then?

she's a beaut.

thanks for all the help again. probly gonna perform the operation wednesday mornin so you'll be hearin bout it if needed. one more thing... I'm experiencing ALOT of drag from the front when i let off the gas its like I'm tappin the brakes. would being low on gear oil cause this phenomenon? nick

i love the pub. :rotf:

sweeeeet

I have to disagree with you on this one pingpong ;) If some chick caused me to wrecked my MJ, she would owe me a lot more than a party date :brows: -Rich now THAT i can agree to.

thanks for the tips, any estimate on cost? nick

that is absolutely amazing. good work.

ugh. sucks. I'm assuming all of these transplants are diagramed in a chiltons, if not ye shall be a'hearin from me again. really appreciate the help. i figured the two issues were related. thanks, nick

that is amazing. holycrap.

i just parked the jeep for like 30 minutes, went out and gave a quick oil check and poked around, took a looksey at my front axle u-joints (which are shot.) to the problem. gear oil (or somethin that smells damn like it) on the ground and on the bottom of my passenger side knuckle. :wall: wth. is my axle shot ? any help is greatly appreciated.

Catatonc :roll: All i have to say is put the wacky weed down :eek: and back away slowly :brows: I think my wifey would have to go before my trail rig :nuts: women outrank what? :nuts: i MUST have read that wrong. :idea: pingpong is right... put down the wacky and back away from the beer.

bro got one on ebay for 250 and we were like DAMN thats a steal (i u-pulled one for 80 :D :D )

are you referring to the actual shifting of the t-case? or (more likely) the engagement of the front axle. cause the axle is engaged by vacuum and the later styles are just always engaged.
