    NP242 behind a AX-15

    Ok I'll check that. Was there a visible gap between the output housing and the main case?

    NP242 behind a AX-15

    Hey bringing back a thread. I just finished a drivetrain swap in my comanche, consisting of a ax15 and a np242. Makes a bunch noise from some sort of backlash or slop, I'm assuming coming from the transfer case since I heard it can make some noise from the center diff but then others don't...

    Annoying Powerband

    Just getting back to wanting to address this problem still. Now the powerband has moved up to 3500 rpms. I noticed it has more power when cold and 8mud talked about the sensors. I had looked at the IAT a while ago to see if it was covered in sludge like my 87 but it was fine. Maybe test CTS and...

    Annoying Powerband

    Hey I got a 91 I6 auto mj with 200k that doesn't make good power till 3000rpm. I've had this noticeable powerband in a 87 and 89 also. I was wondering if it was common on older I6s. The 87 it went away and makes great torque now but the 91 still sucks after 5000k miles of DD. Other than that it...

    62mm Throttle Body or 8.25 Rear Differential Swap.

    Open 2wd sucks and so do oversize throttle bodies.

    Half and Half - My Build Thread

    Wtfs with the teflon tape on your brake fittings? And what are those brass adapters, metric to 3/8? Also how do you like brakes now, I did it on my mj and it's great besides maybe some air still. Is your pedal spongy at all?

    Aftermarket Header Gains?

    Makes sense. So I'm assuming using the stock header with better stuff after it will be pretty good. I also already port matched this one to the head thats been opened up a little for a smooth transition. So maybe that'll do something. This motor is getting swapped so I can do little jobs like...

    Aftermarket Header Gains?

    I searched but couldn't find a thread saying other than which brand to buy. I know everyone buys the APN and what not but are there actual gains? It don't seem like people are buying them for strength, considering every other person cracks theirs. Someone said redoing the rest of the exhaust is...

    4.0 Cam Profiles

    Longer tube headers are apparently a way and what I'm finding out now is the 99+ intake does also.

    4.0 Cam Profiles

    Yea I just meant does the 96 cam still return/leave enough exhaust gases to reduce it's potential or is it not really enough to make a big difference. Also why would the horseshoe intake be better on a 4.0? Tighter runners or something?

    4.0 Cam Profiles

    Well damn lol. Was that on the stroker or a 4.0? Does the overlap/timing of the 96+, for the non egr, anything to worry about as far as potential for more power/efficiency? Also thanks for all the good info

    4.0 Cam Profiles

    Oh wow, learned something right there. Is the 91-95 cam cast differently up front to clock the timing gear? Also is the 96+ fairly advanced? Using the stock cam sounds great to me. Did you have a chance to notice the before and after with the 99 intake?

    4.0 Cam Profiles

    So I got a 96 motor getting new seals and junk to bolt to a 4x4 ax15 for the 4x4 swap in the mj. I'm thinking about getting an aftermarket cam since I've heard the stock one is overlapped for the non egr system. Also the 91 HO in the mj blows on the low end. Then I have a renix xj that rocks...

    Parts Washer? Mineral Spirits or Safety Kleen

    I use the stuff from tractor supply (mineral spirits/paint thinner) It has additives like so it doesn't dry out your hands (dissolve the oils) which I wonder if it makes it work less for what your trying to clean. Has a high flash point which means it won't catch on fire. (I tried with a map...

    WJ Swap-Trouble Getting Fluid into Lines

    I tried a second master, same scenario. So I drilled the mc shaft deeper to make up for the length and it bled like a champ. Didn't even bench bleed it. Just reverse bled the system and bled air out the mc fittings. Done. I don't know what the correct setup for the booster/mc combo out of the...

    WJ Swap-Trouble Getting Fluid into Lines

    I only have one line running to the rear, straight from the mc with the p valve inline. What I found out is that the wj mc seals from the resovoir as soon as pressure is applied using 2 single plungers instead of 4 like the diagrams I've seen. So once I allowed the mc to relax, it gravity...
