That's what I thought. Fuel enrichment on a warm start up then right into closed loop. Looks like it's coming along nicely! Very clean setup in a Jeep I must add as well.

Was that video a cold start? From what I saw looked like it was in closed loop.

I haven't been on here much, But this thing still ain't boosted? Also I wouldn't really worry about the the max speed of the supercharger, Because with the stroker of yours I highly doubt your going to keep making power pass 5K RPM's as the supercharger will probably be out of steam and the motor it self probably won't keep flowing past 5K RPM, plus it would be better to shift early to get back into your powerband.

The guy I bought my Comanche from had another one with 1.2m km. It was his daily driver and was of to the crusher becuase of serious rust issue's and was still on the original 4.0L. I believe he was the second owner.

Do I see a MK4 supra beside the comanche?

I can't wait to see this done, It's been along it since I last seen your progress (Pre body shop) :rotf: Good luck with the rest of the build :thumbsup:

I will check the solenoids again tomorrow. It's the only thing I can think of that would be the problem. And as for the TCU fuse under the dash, It doesn't have one. The only fuse is in the fuse block in the engine bay.

I haven't tried that yet. And it doesn't shift above 4k in 1-2, Doesn't shift at all.

So a few weeks ago I bought a 1995 XJ, And was told by the PO that it skipped second gear. I didn't think that was a problem. So I went out for a drive a couple of days after I got it, And like the PO said no second gear. So I started digging in to the likely causes. So here's what I have done so far.. - Replaced Trans filter - Replaced fluid with DEX/MERC III - Tested Solenoids - Tested TPS sensor - Tested fuse - Adjusted kick down cable That is all I have done as of right now. When I first got the XJ I checked the Trans fluid and there was barley anything in it and was very burnt (looked like dirty engine oil) Don't think it is a mechanical problem as it shifts fine through the other gears, I believe it's a electrical problem. The only other things I can think of is the TCU and or the NSS, which I have no idea if that affects shift patterns. I have never worked on a AW4 before so I am not to familiar with them. And when I search about this problem nothing is very helpful or completely useless information :yes:

So basically from what you guy's said, My truck as it sits could tow 5000 lbs. Because I guess you could say I added a "metric ton" package when doing the 97+ swap. So I may as well go over the current mods that are done to the truck. - 97+ interior swap - 00' 4.0L H.O - AW4 w/ Big trans cooler - Ford 8.8 3.73 LSD - Dana 30 HP 3.73 - Retained Rear 8.8 rear sway bar - WJ front sway bar - "Metric Ton" rear leafs - 3" lift kit - Braided SS brake lines/ DD brake booster I am probably leaving some stuff off, It's been awhile. And just throw up a Pic of how it sit's at the moment. Image Not Found And I do realize that there will be problems with the certification, But that's a problem for later.

I see what your saying. But I believe what your talking about applies to lifted truck with like you said 35" tires, The forces are much different when towing so I don't think It will have a large impact like your saying, with only a 3" lift and 31's. But I would like to eventually up grade the front suspension, But as of right now I don't think it's necessary just yet. But I do hear what your saying!! I have to finish the engine build on my car this winter and also get the MJ painted, So I will be drained to start the engine build on the MJ. but I would like to get all the "supporting mods" and suspension mods done before I tear in to the motor. I hope you stay tuned in when the build starts :thumbsup: And finally does anyone know what a Metric Ton is rated to tow from factory?

I drive my brothers truck with the Peugoet, never have had a problem with it. Heck I don't even use the clutch when shifting . :MJ 1: .

The link didn't work for me. By "Real tow rig" you are talking about diesel truck? The reason why there suspension is way more "beefed" up is because they have a fully dressed 2000lbs motor that sits in the front. From what I read I am under the impression that you think i'll be towing 10,000+ lbs :doh: The most I would probably ever tow would be 5000 lbs MAX!! which really isn't a lot of weight. And I would like to daily the truck as well with out having stupid stiff suspension... My truck is a LWB :thumbsup: I like having a usable bed ;)

I have had 2 Comanche's break in half... They were only parts trucks though. Now I am looking for a LWB bed for my truck and I would pay $700 for a completely rust free one. But that because I can't find any good one's in Ontario, Canada.....

As for the brakes I am thinking of stock R32 GTR 4 pots up front, As they fit under 16" rims. And for the rear probably just stock 8.8 disc brakes. I already have a car hauler, which was built to the max width that's legal in Canada and the MTO doesn't like that and I get harassed for it if they see it. And it's steel and weighs in at around 2000lbs not loaded, :rotfl2: So I am planning to sell it and buy a brand new aluminum open car hauler that's half the weight and a bit smaller in size.
