I would say you are but prob still need a longer drive shaft. Post a picture of where your driveshaft attaches to the tail housing of your transfer case

It seemed more apparent that the thermostat was operating how it should as flowing the max amount of coolent it could. However the point I'm looking at is that it doesn't matter how much coolent it is shoving threw the engine to try to keep it cool if the Acually coolent is getting cool. Maybe a bad way to word it but I'm having trouble putting my thoughts into words.

I would like to run mine also, maybe we can get some people to all go in on it to run a few.

Yes but it's not that much of a "up grade" as far as strength.

I have the same problem but it will go away after a few seconds and idle down, or I'll have to turn it off and turn it on again and it doesn't do it.

So anything under 7.5 I would say no you do not need one. But you will need a longer driveshaft. I have one for about 4.5-5.5 inches of lift I will be selling as soon as my sye and Tom woods drive shaft come in.

Depends on how much lift u have. I just ordered one for my swb mj. I have soa with a total of 7.5-8.0inches of lift in the back. I have very slight vibrations around 25 mph then they go away.

Well I just went ahead and bought the sye with a custom length drive shaft from Tom woods yesterday. My wallet is screaming, but I just want to do it the right way, and I just want to drive my mj again.... :(

So if the outside temp were 100 degrees (which they are about 3/4th of the year here) instead of 75 you don't think it would of overheated?

I have a 1988 jeep comanche that has been converted to 4x4 by the owner,and I know it has cherokee axles. the comanche is a swb 4.0 auto tranny with a np231 transfer case.

Well it might just be your lucky day. I'll be looking to sell my at a very fair price I just don't know what a fair price is for them haha. I will have measurements Monday when I measure for the new drive shaft.

Anybody?

I have a 1988 mj 4.0/4x4/auto short wheel base. Its lifted at about 7.5 inches in the back and 4.5 in the front from the previous owner. I plan on putting a long arm kit on it this December and leveling it out. The PO got a custom drive shaft made but is still not long enough. Now the Tail housing seal of the transfer-case is leaking badly, after I just put the new Iron man 4x4 motor mounts and transmission mount in along with a cooling system and a bunch of other stuff. I'm all about Fixing stuff right the first time and overdoing it if I can. I want to go ahead and put a SYE since I am at that boarder line height with a SWB mj that I need it. I'm also going to go with a new drive shaft. I was looking a Rusty's SYE kit. It includes the advance adapter SYE and a Tom woods Drive-shaft for $480.00 Is this a good deal. point me in the right direction on who to buy from. I want the best quality for the cheapest I can get ( but then again isnt everybody). I do not want to lower the mj, that has been suggested before, It is a beach truck with mild wheeling and muding done. I'm just going to level it out at 7.5 inches. Here are some pictures of the truck. Drive Shaft and the tail housing leak Drive shaft. Tail housing leak: Here is the truck Last question. Could I resale the old drive shaft??? I think that it would be exactly right for a 4.5 inch lift (don't know measurements though, that what I'm guessing). If I could sell it on here what would be a fair price?

Sweet! Can you please send me a pm when they come in!

I want 5, did you end up getting these?

Yea but the also have a pull of 50 amps at start up, that is a bit much for my 60 Somthing amp alternator. Everybody just jumps and says put a Taurus electric fan in....... It's not that easy, to do it right the electrical system NEEDS to be beefed up to prevent failure down the road and a possible fire!

Manly happy that the head gasket test came back good!

Just talked to the shop and they said they were able to duplicate the problem. Then the did a pressure test on the head gasket and they said they had no problems with that and the head gasket was good. Then the put a little 10 inch fan in place of were the factory electric fan was and said it never got over 205. The demmed the problem being from me mounting the tranny cooler in front of the radiator on the side that the mechanical fan is and my bumper and winch and lights is covering up to much of the surface area of the radiotor and blocking air flow. so looks like I'm installing the datsun 240z louvers and hooking up my electric fan and hoping that it performs well enough trail to not overheat and not just keep the temps under control on the road.

Surprised. Nobody has said anything about checking motor mounts.

It has a brand new pace setter header, along with a high flow cat and a magnaflow muffler.

I believe I did. But I could be wrong, do you have the procedure.

UPDATE: I took the truck today to the scrap yard to drop off a lot of junk to get some cash to fix the truck. I took it to a shop and are having them do a pressure test and check the head. they are also goin to look at a bad leak that has developed around the slip yolk shaft. And one more thing. While getting out on the high way I floored it in 1st gear and it seemed to bog/hesitate, the it opened up and took off. any ideas? it only doest it in first when you floor it from a stop. BTW it is a automatic.

It was not boiling over, and the reason is I turned it off before it got there, I do not want to blow a head gasket by letting it overheat all the way, However if I did not turn it off it would have gotten into the red. as fr as the gauges were concerned... if you drove the truck off the lot and temps were looking like that a mile down the road, there is no way the dealership would say " yup thats normal for it to rise untill it pegs out and over heats.......100 degrees C is 212 F therefore, 125 degreesC is equal to 257F. I would say my needle was 3/4ths the way to the 125 mark, so roughly thats 235-240ish F..... Thats not normal and is way to hot for having a completely new cooling system ans for it sitting at a idle on a COOL 75 degree day...

Well the back sits about 4 inches higher than the front on level ground so I figured that was high enough to burp it.
