ok well thanks for all the info! im thinking i'll just rewire the fuel pump since i cant find those relays anywhere. and i wish my jeep could get stuck in the snow! ive never been able to get it stuck, especially now that its locked front and rear :D


the itty bitty tires aid the getting stuck quite a bit lol. we didnt get stuck last night but we didnt push on much farther after i started dragging the diff in the snow :lol:

yessir it will, i think i read something about the clutches beign a different size so bring over the clutch/flywheel. when i bought my spare engine it had a different size clutch so i went with the flywheel with the bigger clutch :egeek
man i would need a helluva lift to clear 37's i put a 32 on the back end to see how it would fit... not well :lol: mine are something like 25" :oops:

The 4x4 trans has the transfer case attached to it, it will bolt up but the rear mount won't fit, driveshaft won't work and a host of other issues. It is best to install a 2wd trans back in there.



STOP. what are you doing here? Fix the spark issue correctly by following the wiring diagram. Bypassing the harness will just cause more issues. A 4X4 trans will not work in a 2WD system. Do you have a repair manual to work with? If you don't repair this correctly you will cause a lot more issues. Is this truck charging? A low battery and not charging will cause all of these issues.

and i did fix the spark issue and it is no longer bypassed. all it needed was a new coil,coil wire and the wiring to the coil hooked up correctly. runs good, but the fuel pump is dead and the carb needs rebuilt. and i do not have the repair manual

I think the exhaust is in the way, rear trans crossmember is wrong, driveshaft has to be replaced, hole cut for the second shifter and I am sure I missed a lot of other stuff. I highly recommend not doing it.
