That looks awesome Steve! As for gear ratios, it would be nice to get the third ratio around 4:1 then could have the 4th ratio super low, you know for moving mountains!!!!

Do you think if we order 2 we could get a deal bill???

The ratios I have are 2.7, 3.8, 10.38. I use them all around here. 2.7 you already have and is a good trail ratio. 3.8 is a great rock ratio, but is too slow for most trails. 10.38 is really slow, 11 mph with a 30% overdrive for anything but large rocks. But is really great then because you can just idle through the big ones. No deals on quantity though. They build each one custom order

Well it looks like I'm having cam crank sync issues again! Wonder if this is ecm related, almost time to toss out chrysler's crappy computer and go mega squirt!

I am sure the Mega Squirt will be better. Have you dug into this far enough to know if you can hook up an OBDII scanner to it?

[Pookapotamus]

I don't think you can hook up an external, but it has its own diagnosis system on board, gives the same codes.

I was just wondering. The engine in the Jeep is getting just plain worn out. Over 300K on it. There are several engines that I would love to use, but I would like to use the Mega Squirt with them. They have variable cam timing etc.

[Pookapotamus]

That mega squirt will run anything! I'll do a write up when I get mine.

I know it will, I have the smog police to contend with here. They have to be able to hook up to it with the right plug

[Pookapotamus]

Oh! Yup that might be interesting, shoot them an email, they answered my questions really fast!

Unfortunately the exchange rate is horrible right now, and I need to get a bunch of wire and other parts to install mine, and finish my wiring diagram for all the changes I want to make.

You need a friend on this side of the border to make the purchase then

[Pookapotamus]

Still have to do the exchange rate though, and I do! His name is 4.3l xj!

Well I rooted around under the hood, found a little corrosion on the cps sensor connector, fiddled with the distributor, noticed only one side of the rotor was burnt and the pins in the cap were only burnt on one side, so turned the distributor a bit and finally got the p01391 code to clear! First time in a long time the engine light has been off !!!!

Hey It is the little things isn't it. Those PCMs are sure fussy

[Pookapotamus]

Can't wait to get rid of it!

I know what you mean. Been fighting my own stupid idiosyncrasies on mine.
