Your readings are right. In the summer it takes a good 20 min of driving for my 94 ZJ's tranny to get up to 150ish. In the spring and winter the tranny fluid rarely reads on the temp guage at all. However! When towing a trailer of 5k lbs if I don't turn overdrive off the temp guage will shoot...

Pull the diff cover and pop the c-clip out...a screwdriver and a small hammer work well. It won't take much to get it to pop out.

They all came with c-clips but the clips aren't really that necessary so many people don't bother putting them back in. Chances are the axles you've taken apart in the past have been dissassembled prior to you touching them and the c-clips weren't re-installed.

A line lock won't increase the pressure in the brake lines any more than what they see in normal operation....it will just make the lines experience that pressure for an abnormal period of time. Standard brake systems these days see pressures upwards of 2000 psi under normal operation. I agree...

You could also leave your stock rad in there and put a rad cap inline with the upper rad hose. You can buy the inline cap adapters from any speed shop or online aftermarket part store.

You can put that temp guage anywhere you want to....depending on what you want to know. Do you want the temp of the fluid coming out of the tranny, the fluid going into the tranny, or the fluid in the transmission pan? Whichever you choose you have to consider the location when looking at...

It's an easy job. Some regular sockets and a torque wrench is all you need.

90+ aren't all the same. I know the knuckles on my 1994 ZJ Dana 30 are different than some other Dana 30's newer than 1990. i.e. there are at least two styles of one piece knuckle which are the 1990+ knuckles used.

Those fitting on Stu Olsons site are standard SAE ORB (o-ring boss) and AN fittings that can be found at any hydraulics supplier. They are probably cheaper from a local supplier than a race shop.

That explanation is a little too simplistic to satisfy my curiosity...is it possible to get the non laymans version? :D

Have you measured the vacuum? If so, how many inches of Hg are you pulling at idle?

I may be wrong but your running fuel pressure seems high. I think the 1995 used a 39 psi regulator which adjusts the pressure depending on the vacuum in the intake manifold. At idle the intake vacuum is high so the regulator should be lowering the fuel pressure to compensate so the fuel...

I can understand how a higher pressure would help in the engine block as it would raise the boiling point of the coolant mixture but how does a longer transfer time make a difference on a closed circulating system? It would seem to me if you cut the flow in half sure a incremental amount of...

I had a similar problem with mine a couple years back but it was fairly intermittent...it wouldn't always occur when the vehicle was warm but often enough it was a pain. Turns out it was my ignition coil module. I had some spare parts so I started swapping things over to see what was causing...
