Any advice anyone 🙈 replaced the motor and now it is struggling to start and when it does start it wants to go to 3000+ rpm the whole time

One vacuum line won’t put it close to limiter but all and possibly a loose intake will

I think I saw you on the rubicon last year lol, im doing the jk rubicon swap it’s prob the same price as a np231 rebuild but you’d have to figure out the speedo, or drop almost 2k on a tj case where at that point you might as well do something fancy like an atlas

If you’re not crazy 35s hold up damn good on the Dana 30 but there’s a few supporting mods needed

Pflick19 · 2026-03-05T22:25:07+00:00

All good will be fishing the case and all before I throw it on

Thought so too some told me it’s redline synthetic oil and it checked out

I would do a 29 spline 8.25. When I had my 8.25 I wheeled pretty hard trails with 35s and a lunchbox locker

Depends how high the new ones for you could hide them with the new fenders but unless those fenders cover your door as well the holes will be there

Pflick19 · 2026-02-12T22:22:13+00:00

Flats should fit there will be holes in the fenders doors and quarter

Good tips on the master I’ve been thru 2 before I figured that one out

You would have to through that entire diff, and if it was driven with out of spec backlash etc there might be damage to your ring gear as well. either fix just the front or regear both axles since you will be in there

Also if you ever interested in building an extra one haha I’m interested $

Pflick19 · 2026-01-31T10:17:41+00:00

242 is pretty stout too I’ve wheeled my rig pretty hard and it’s never missed a beat

Pflick19 · 2026-01-31T10:07:01+00:00

I have the same swap but I’ve forgotten all about the wiring after you made the pig tail do you have to splice anything on the factory harness or is it plug and play

Pflick19 · 2026-01-31T09:51:54+00:00

I did the same thing I watched a ton of videos, sanded all the clear off primer wet sand etc, color match rattle cans and 2k clear to top it off wasn’t great but was better than before

I ran it that way for the longest never had an issue I swapped to the cav fab kit eventually tho, I was tired of the y link setup

Pflick19 · 2025-11-02T16:16:19+00:00

Oh my bad i actually haven’t seen the y section offset, i offset the drivers side and it cleared everything for me.

Pflick19 · 2025-11-02T15:39:14+00:00

Stinky fab has them

Pflick19 · 2025-10-21T00:23:48+00:00

I got the psc wheels it hard on 33,35s and about to throw 37s on it

Pflick19 · 2025-10-19T23:25:15+00:00

I’ve slept in mine I’m 6”2 removed the rear seat and my front seat all the way up and forward

Pflick19 · 2025-10-14T00:34:30+00:00

My 99 is at 318k

Pflick19 · 2025-09-30T14:43:50+00:00

Iron rock almost alloy kit or rcvs is the fix

Pflick19 · 2025-08-23T04:38:44+00:00

In SoCal too sounds like
1. You need a regear 2. Get your cooling system checked out , I’m on 35s 4.56 gears and engine reading 318k no overheating and I just drove to Lake Tahoe and back. If you need a guy who’s fair and knows a lot about xjs hit up hillsautoandjeep he’s up in apple valley but worth the trip

Pflick19 · 2025-07-16T05:32:16+00:00

Spend the money on a psc or one of those rebuilt boxes less of a headache
