When I did my swap 3 years ago I ended up buying the whole hydraulic system setup from the dealer. It came as an assembled unit (master, hose, and slave) that was already filled and bled. The master cylinder and slave were both available at Advance Auto Parts, but the hose and fittings to...

All the power does go to the wheel that slips, a vast majority anyway. Its better than 2wd but not as good as a locking 4wd offroad. My friend had the 249 in his Grand Cherokee and swapped it for a 242. He kept his awd ability but now has a locking 4 high.

So you didn't install any of that yourself? Removing the driveshaft wont help, but if you did remove the front one no fluid would come out. If there is banging in your diff and you moved it at all, most likely stuff in there is so XXXXed up it isn't going to matter what you do. This one is...

I believe most cars are set up with some camber, which produces lateral forces on the tire. So any sort of missalignment or loose parts in the steering system could cause death wobble I suppose. If I knew what fixed it, I could probably make a better guess.

I picked up a battery strap and pedal bracket+clutch pedal for $20 at the local u-pull. Just go grab one from the junk yard.

did you have ABS?

You can figure out 1 ton axles but not how to make the tires fit? start cutting

I dont think you really need to warm it up. ATF is pretty thin

only do it if you have a traction bar, or if you only drive it on the street. I blocked mine and took it offroad and then replaced my S'd and inverted springs.

the upper is easy to place with the lower off, and then I usually get the lower on by controlling height with a floor jack and putting a bottle jack on top of the LCA and pushing the axle to where it needs to be.
