Yeah that is cool i am hoping for no adapters. I don't want to connect to a ax-15 with a v8 or even the 4.3. I would rather do a full drive train. That is my dream a Street sleeper Comanche. I am not knocking your view just a different out come.

I am in need of some guidance from any one that has taken on a project like this for some help. I would love the 5.3 but same thing as the 4.3 don't know anyone with a complete setup. Anybody out there put a 5.3 in an 86 comanche????? Or even a 4.3 in a Comanche??? Help would be awesome.

So the 5.3 all the guys I hang out with over here say the 5.3 is a pain to get in and then have cooling issues since not much room. I have no idea as I don't drive one.

Hi guys, I just picked up a clean 86 mj with 116,000 original miles. The 2.8 has picked up a knock on cylinder 6 so time for a swap. I have built an awesome 96 XJ but this one is new to me. I would like to swap the full drive train 4.3 vortec and trans and tcase. I would like to stay kind of...

Man thanks for the info, can't wait to get this bad boy in.

I picked up an 8.8 with 4.10 and lsd got all the brackets on and ready for the XJ just looking for what you guys have used for brake lines on the axle and the t block.

This will happen on every one that I have seen, you can take the seal and cross reference to a seal with double or triple lip seal and it will help. I have thought about using an oil slinger to stop the pressure of the fluid hitting the seal. Will let you know how this goes as I am working on a...

Just go and get a 1998-99 Dodge Durango steering box, then have it taped for hydro. The box has upgraded guts and still is the same mounting pattern. You can use the YJ as a core since most can't even tell they are different.

I ran the set from speed daddy and they fell apart after 500 miles, such a piece. I never even got them wet. I then ordered APN header and it is great so far. A friend has gone thought 3 of the Banks and they fail but they will replace. Just a waste of time...

The one thing that gets over looked is a spring on the inside of the t case, if you miss this spring it will not shift correctly. We put mine together twice.

I purchased this kit and it worked ok for about 300 miles of on road driving and the first offroad trip all the ball joints started poping and blew all the rubber boots to pieces. :sure:I contacted the people I bought this kit from and they say they have sold a bunch and not had any problems. I...

On my 96 with abs the rear abs wires i exteneded. If you cut the cable in the center you will see two wires. I added in about 8 inches of 16 gauge wire. I used sodder and heat shrink tube to seal the connection point. Then added a second layer of heat shrink tube and sealed with silicon. Then I...

My motor mounts looked great, the rubber was not cracked or discolored but are shot. The easy way to test this is have a friend start your motor with the hood up, then have your friend put your Jeep in a forward gear and keep his foot on the brake and give it some throttle. Then have them put...

Waiting for my flex connector to show up, then install in the down pipe just before the cat. Then enjoy the high mountain fishing till I break something. Picked up a Dana 60 Rear 4.10, and trying to find a front 60, but that can wait till the turdy five gives up. :laugh:
