Pete M Posted September 20, 2015 Share Posted September 20, 2015 the 3.4/3.1 from an early 90s Camaro/Firebord is externally the same and a far superior engine inside. :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 those are the only 2 (or another 2.8) that will reuse your engine's accessories, exhaust, transmission, intake, etc. everything else is a huge deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete M Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 the perches of a cherokee axle would need to be moved regardless of SOA or SUA. they are a different width apart. but don't fret, as it's the simplest of welding tasks and any auto shop (eg. a muffler joint) should be able to help you out. :thumbsup: I don't believe I've ever heard of an SYE kit for the 207. It's not really needed on MJs anyway. make sure the gear ratio in your new axle matches the current one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
86manche207 Posted September 24, 2015 Author Share Posted September 24, 2015 http://www.jeep4x4center.com/rt-off-road-disconnect-kit-psl900.html is this better than having the stock cad system? i keep seeing it everywhere does anyone else run one?

dunnc1991 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 Just lock the CAD manually and not worry about it. Save that money for something more useful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogmorgo Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 That kit would also give you the option of using low-range in 2wd. For whatever that's worth. It's probably less work and definitely cheaper just to permanently lock the CAD, as was suggested. Should be a couple write-ups on here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComancheFan1991 Posted September 24, 2015 Share Posted September 24, 2015 I don't think the 4.0 six would fit, as I don't know if your firewall would allow it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gogmorgo Posted September 26, 2015 Share Posted September 26, 2015 A few love taps from a BFH will fix that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
