Re: Re: Important

Getting cold won't hurt it, but moisture will. Talk Trixie into letting you keep it in the living room.

The "garage"was in the kitchen for a year and a half. Then my lift was in the spare bedroom for a couple months. Livingroom no, spare bedroom I'm completely ok with.

Re: Re: Important

Changed the filter and most if the fluid thus summer. I'm going to drain the pan again today and top it off.

I was thinking the tcu might be the issue.

The red one?
Any Trans codes?
TC unlock in in OD is like a 250 rpm change iirc.

Get an analog meter and check for flat spots in the tps curve.

I doubt its.TCU... Does your SIL still have my 97 TCU? Could try it...

Could be a solenoid or short in the wiring to a solenoid too.

unless you are going to fab a flat belly skid.

That's the plan. I'm going to have someone fab up something.

I was wondering the same thing. Seems like a waste of time for a 242 or 231. You guys may want to think about your shift linkage also. The stock transfer case linkage is a mess. ( that is the nice way to describe it) I had to go to a cable shifter after moving my transfer case up by about a 1/2 " when using the Clayton cross member. I can only see clocking if you were going to go to a dana 300 or and Atlas...

I'd just leave it be but it hangs low enough and my Jeep is low enough that a flat belly could be really helpful. Its not going any taller so I may as well create clearance. I'm with Mac though, not sure how you'd make the stock linkage work. IIRC Doug built a sweet crossmember for Sam's Jeep.

i just raised the mount point up a touch and tossed a hoop on the back for the case...weve never had any case issues except that the long h&T sye is maxing the double cardan out. But i have a super short sye on the shelf out of tj to go in it...that should fix and ds angle issues ive created.

bam.... tcase skid, ugly but effective

I have a stok tcase skid. I may end up doing a better skid if the stock linkage won't work.

 

[Jeepguy91]

Heck we have been looking for a stock t-case skid for Jeep. Can't find them in the junk yard. Half tempted to just make something

[POLAR_JEEP_04]

I feel ya dude. Both of my DDs have drums too and no plans to disc them.

Life time shoes and pads

 

[kmanxj5050]

I have been putting off the baby jeep for that exact reason. May have to do it this weekend though.
