For the last few days I have noticed a sound that sounded like the fan hitting the shroud, but only in reverse. Today it started doing it in forward and park as well. As I was driving home it felt like it would go into neutral for a few seconds, the catch again, then do it again. I limped off...

All great ideas, that I wish weren't. I have wondered about running lean. Is there a sensor I can trick to get it to rich up a little? At this point I fear I my have to pull the head and check. The engine builder had a good rep, but.... Last time I don't build it myself. It's frustrating...

Back after vacation and other projects. I have now moved the trans cooler to below the radiator. It is not blocking any flow. I have cleaned and assured flow through the ac condenser. I can see light through it. Checked for exhaust leaks and vacuum leaks. I have gone through everything here and...

I ran a stock pump and radiator, issue remained.

I know the is another one posted tonight, but i didn't want to muddy the waters in that thread. I am about to blow this thing up, I am so fed up. this is going to be long! This is the 3rd summer since a ground up rebuild of this Jeep and I still can not solve the overheating issues. I built this...

Bringing this back up. How is it running today? I am very interested in doing a similar project! What would you do different if you had to do it again?

I am continuing to get the trans codes about 1 out every 3 times I drive it, but not CEL. I tried to get the emissions test done, but it failed and the shops testing equipment did not give a specific reason for the fail. I assume the codes were present. I scanned it when I left and they were...

Well, I probed all the wires and tested as per instructions above. Everything tested on fine. So I pulled the ISS and OSS to check them against each other.i They tested the same, but switched them anyway. Then I pulled the plug down and check all the wires for continuity. All checked good...

Sidewinder you are AWESOME. I figured the same....a wire issue since I don't even have to start it to trigger the code. I will get the meter out and start testing. THANKS All!!

Yes, everything is currently 98 BUT When I got in it to drive last night the CEL came on as soon as I turned the key!! It still drives/shifts/locks up as it should. If I clear the code the CEL stays off while driving, but as soon as I turn the ignition off and back on the CEL is back on even...

I am not a fan of the Pocket or Flat style flares. I have googled and searched forums and can't come up with anything more stock looking (I don't need the cut out of the Notch) I would love the old pre96 bushwacker extend a fenders. But can't find any Discontinued? Any one know of any...

B-17 The 97 TCU has worked for some, I am not one of them! I do have a 97 TCU to sell if you want to try it.

UPDATE: I have not been able to work on it for a month or so. Finally got it back together today and it WORKS!! So for anyone that comes looking, here is the summary. I used a 98 2wd aw4 with a 96 donor for a output shaft and output/adapter housing. After coming here I discovered that was a...

So I came found a 99 trans that was being parted out and got the tone ring, output housing and sensor. Just pulled mine apart to swap it. I did have the 96 sensor and 96 tone ring. (but they did not work with the 97 tcm) Went to put the 99 tone ring on and it is much thicker atleast 1/2"...

Wierd. The one I looked at today no doubt had the iss and old style oss. I could even see the 2 lobes of the tone wheel.....someone else had the same pos I do? To strange. Back to looking for a 98+ trans.

Does the tcm use the VSS signal at all? Just thinking out loud. If the VSS is bad, could the code be due to a difference in the signals from the oss and vss?

Just for info I just went to look at a "98" aw4 that was pulled. As it turns out it had to be a 97. It had the new style ISS and the old style OSS with the 2 lobe tone wheel. So as has been said the 97 TCM "should" solve my problem, but it doesn't. Anyone have some explosives? I would love to...

I have gone through the wiring, but have not checked the signal. Not sure how to check the signal. The trans was gone from the 97 that I got the TCM from. So I am not sure what it had. I am picking up a 98 4wd trans today. That way everything is as in should be. PITA, but no questions then...

I can now report that the 97 tcu/tcm does NOT always solve the issue of the differing OSS. I just completed the TCM swap and the 720 code still returns once I hit 3rd gear. Off to find a 98 aw4 to steal the back half off of. If I don't blow the jeep up first!!

Just read this entire thread!! Here's my problem. Background: I have a 98 XJ that started as a 2wd. I used a donor AW4 from a 96. When I had the transmission rebuilt I had them use the 4wd output shaft and tailhousing from the 96 onto the 98. Problem: I have now learned about the difference...
