Try doing some research at www.4btswaps.com. They have a very extensive knowledge base on diesels of all sorts. Bacon

Selectable will be more expensive than a detroit or a spool but it will give you more traction on ice becuase you can unengage it and allow the diff to spin and not break the tire's "grip" on the ice. Bacon

You said you were thinking of putting a locker in the front, why not the back? In the front it will make turning a little more of a chore. While in the back of the rig you will benefit while in 2wd and 4wd. Also when climbing, the weight of the Jeep will shift to the rear making the front...

With a TC lowering kit I wouldn't think a SYE would be needed. If you want to try and keep the belly up a little higher and not use the lowering kit then yes, a SYE would be a very good idea. Bacon

It looks like a Range Rover. Ugly and would never thing of getting one even if it did come with a hemi or a diesel.

With the Rubicon package you already have the lockers and 33 inch (?) tires. My vote would be to protect your investment with rock sliders, heavy dudy bumpers and maybe some body armor. Also as several people have pointed out, move the mirrors. Bacon

Bounty, what year is your YJ and what year is the durango you are planning on swaping the steering box out of? The box in my 89 YJ is dying and I should be proactive and replace it before it dies on the trail. bacon

If you take off the front traction bar you will feel the axle wonder a little when turning. Once you get use to it the movement is no big deal. There is less movement if you do a shackle reversal up front. Bacon

I stuffed 35s under my 1989 YJ with a 3.5inch fabtech spring lift. It is a SuA setup but had to do some heavy fender trimming. Remember there will be significant more mass and inertia with the larger tires so you have longer braking distances and the brakes will be doing more work to stop the...

Bah, would help if i looked at the whole page instead of just the right hand side of it.

Nice find. Love the mileage rating. 9-28city and 11-29highway. I think no matter what you will fall into that range.

I have found this program to be very helpful when trying to figure out crawl speeds, ratios, rpms etc. Gear Ratio Calculator Bacon

To keep the swap as cheap aspossible buy a doner vehical, pull what you want out of it and resell the parts you dont use or pull out of your Jeep. Novak has a great database on the swaps, what fits with what, etc etc. Remember we always want pics! And keep us posted on your progress. Bacon

You may want to post on www.4btswaps.com aswell. Those guys are very good when it comes to diseals. Please keep us posted though. I have always drooled over a diseal Jeep. Mmmmmm torque..... Bacon

That is a serious problem Tank. The Jeep bug is VERY contageous with only one possible cure, another Jeep. Some people may need more than one dose. Possible side affects include the needing and or wanting of another Jeep. If this symptom occurs you must acquire another dose of the "cure"...

When listening for the fuel pump kicking on are you hearing a buzzing sound that lasts for about 1-2 seconds when you turn the key to the start position not past to where the engine starts turning over? If not, when you replaced the fuel pump were the wires hooked up correctly? Is there Fuel in...
