    Swapping a Vortec 6.0LQ4 in my 98

    Rockwood, I’m looking into Dakota Digital, just not a fan of the 0-100 fuel readout they have one their dash panel kit. Skruffy, thanks for the heads up on trans tunnel clearance. Did you use the stock XJ shifter and console? I’m just going to go with a Holley Terminator X Max harness and tuner...

    Swapping a Vortec 6.0LQ4 in my 98

    I’m hoping to reuse the trucks ECU and TCM since I already have them at my disposal, also they are currently working and the truck runs with everything still in place. A stand-alone harness would be great, I guess the better question I should have asked was, can I piggy back the Jeep ECU to work...

    Swapping a Vortec 6.0LQ4 in my 98

    I live in Maryland so I will tag this Historic and not have any issues with Emissions or inspections, I would like to delete the EGR and cats and tune out the rear 02 sensors since I don’t need any of that extra stuff. My biggest issue will be tackling the wiring and retaining the factory 98 XJ...

    Swapping a Vortec 6.0LQ4 in my 98

    Yeah definitely putting the driveline in prior to the 8.8 going in. I just spoke to the sales team at Novak today, headers are getting shipped tomorrow and the LS swap mounts are next door getting zinc coated so hopefully by next weekend it will all be here and I can start swapping in the motor...

    Swapping a Vortec 6.0LQ4 in my 98

    I pick up 2 used Explorer 8.8 rears with 4.10 and LSD disc brakes, off FB marketplace for $250 each, they will need the perches and shock mounts cut off and new ones welded on. This will be the easier of the rear swaps, the wife’s TJ is getting the 2nd one and will need a truss kit put on but...

    Swapping a Vortec 6.0LQ4 in my 98

    After a couple of days of checking back with no replies I joined a few FB groups so see about some advice, I apologize for the slow response time. The truck I bought was a salvaged truck with the LQ4,4L80e and NP? t-case. Since all 3 work great with 131k miles I would like to just swap in the...

    Swapping a Vortec 6.0LQ4 in my 98

    I’m just now getting caught up on the replies, I’m still waiting for the Novak mounts and headers to arrive and in the process of cleaning off the Explorer rear axle. The LQ4 will see plenty of abuse both on and off road and a turbo is in the works after it’s all installed and running. Nothing...

    Swapping a Vortec 6.0LQ4 in my 98

    I picked up a spare XJ for parts and as it turns out I got in contact with the last registered owner and will be getting the titling issues sorted out. The plan is to now pull the 6.0 from my 2000 Chevy K2500 4x4 and drop it in using Novak’s engine mounts. I have a few questions for the ones...

    Advice on a LQ4 and 4L80E going in a 98.

    I bought a 98 Limited for spare parts and since it looks like I have found the last registered owner and will be getting the title issues straightened out I’ve decided to drop in a LQ4 from a 2000 Chevy K2500 with 131k miles. The truck was bought from Copart with a rotted and cracked frame but...
