You might have gotten a bad alternator from the store. Have it checked

Sigh, looks like the first reply didn't take. So... Check all your cables/wires too and from the battery, starter, etc and make sure they are secure. IF you are getting no clicking/ticking when you try to crank the starter and have tried jumping it your ECM behind your glove box may be bad...

Another thought.... When you turn your key to the ON position, NOT all they way to where it would crank, can you hear the fuel pump engaging pressurizing the system? It is a faint bzzzt sound for 2-3 seconds. If that works then the electrical to that point is ok and possibly the ECM is ok...

First off, welcome to the Z! Doing a SAS on your WK will be very expensive, $6000ish per some posts I found with a quick google search. About the only relative information I found for ya is from FourWheeler magazine. Solid Axle Swap Buyers Guide - 4Wheel & Off-Road Magazine Depending on your...

Clogged/obstructed fuel filter. IF this is the case you may want to drop the fuel tank and rinse/clean it out to remove any possible sediment. Bacon

Looks GREAT! Bacon

The one of the flywheel bolts may have come loose and are touching the fingers on the clutch. This happened to me once and it made a terrible sound when in neutral but while in gear it was smooth as silk because the unit (flywheel, bolts and disc) were all engaged and spinning at the same...

Bah, I missed one of the posts. Bacon

Any rattle while the transmission is under load (accelerating) or any other time while the transmission is in any gear? Bacon

I agree with Bounty, 5.38s would be about perfect for the 2.5L with 35s. I am running 5.13s (in a D60 and 14bolt) with 35s on my 2.5L Jeep and wish it was a hair deeper. I have been using a couple speedo and gear ratio calculators to get an idea of what was needed. Gear Ratio Calculator Gear...

As jfrabat is saying there are better choices out there for a diesel swap, but also as he has stated that here in the States the choices/options are limited without being very lucky finding one. With that said, what are you plans for the Jeep? Trail rig, DD, little of both? Why a diesel...

All of the road application 4bts have a turbo. The 4bt is capable of producing 250-300hp and 450+ torque with modifications. As Bounty said with the correct transmission and axle gearing it will get up and go. Bacon

The 6bt is a HUGE motor at 1000+ lbs, 40+ inches long and 38 inches tall. The 4bt is 700-800 pounds at 38 inches tall and 30 inches long. I would personally love to do the 4bt swap but I can't get past how much it weighs and how much it would throw off the weight distribution while wheeling...

Thanks for finding and posting that Bounty. Bacon

Once you go to synthetic oil you can not go back to conventional oil. I believe this is because the seals swell with synthetic and if it is replaced with conventional oil the seals will shrink and everything becomes very leaky. I use synthetic in all my DDs with no problems. Come to think of...

Looks great! Bacon

MUCH better day today. Added 2 inches back to the front and all was good! (that's what she said) My dad pushed for just adding to the end of the already fabricated front. It was much easier than cutting off the front again, adding in and plating the added section of the frame. I still may...

Made some very good and bad progress today on stretching the front. Plasma cutters are fun! Cut just behind the round frame brace which ended up being 4 inches back instead of the planned 2 inches back which would be an difficult cut and reweld through the middle of it. This will prove a...

My original plan was to use a set of the FSJs until a friend gave me his unused 2 inch BDS springs. Not sure why he bought and never used them. His loss my gain. I agree the steering will need some kind of hydro upgrade at some point but right now the Jeep is sitting on 35s and will be for a...
