1990comanche-he Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 I have a 1991 4.0 swapped mj with 8.8 rear end. Just recently took her out riding and realized 4lo and 2hi work fine but if I go I to 4hi it dang near locks up and skirts the tires and pulls harrrrd right. Why would it do this is 4hi only?

Pete M Posted December 15, 2023 Share Posted December 15, 2023 is 4lo engaging the front axle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruiser54 Posted December 16, 2023 Share Posted December 16, 2023 Makes me wonder if there aren't 2 different axle ratios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1990comanche-he Posted December 18, 2023 Author Share Posted December 18, 2023 In 4lo everything works great even on asphalt but 4hi seems like it wants to lock up the front end Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurboedMJ Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 What is your rear end gear ratio? Front and rear have to be the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you sure that 4 low is actually engaging the front axle? Is it possible that the 8.8 ratio is different and you just don't notice the problem due to the low speed?
