patch is the only way, and as a spare, even with a patch, sidewall flex will un-do it

Yea no one will patch a tire with a hole in the sholder. It won't hold. Ask me how I know....

Adjuster bolt for the 4.0's is on the bottom of the steering pump, might be the same on the 2.5.

Stock, it would be a Dana 30 axle on the front and a Dana 35 axle on the back, both with open diffs. If you have the towing package from the factory, you'll have a Dana 44 with a limited slip diff on the back(I think, don't take my word for this)

Good test to see if it's an open diff is jack up both rear tires, and spin one. If the other tire spins the opposite way it's an open diff.

You have a D35 or C8.25 in the rear. C8.25 has a flat spot on the bottom of the differential.

D44s weren't offered as factory that late in production.

Ground- 0V
Signal- 5V

Is this normal?

Cool, thanks. I hear the 35 isnt strong at all. Im looking to wheel it a little bit (nothing crazy) maybe at most a 4-4.5" lift and 33's. if i put 33's on am i going to have to do an axle swap and change gears?

Only after you blow the Dana 35 up lol. I beat on mine and it asked for more.

I believe it sort of is, depending on the exact orientation when you turned the engine off.

The CMP sensor contains a hall effect device called a sync signal generator to generate a fuel sync signal. This sync signal generator detects a rotating pulse ring (shutter) on the oil pump drive shaft (Fig. 6). The pulse ring rotates 180 degrees through the sync signal generator. Its signal is used in conjunction with the crankshaft position sensor to differentiate between fuel injection and spark events. It is also used to synchronize the fuel injectors with their respective cylinders.

When the leading edge of the pulse ring (shutter) enters the sync signal generator, the following occurs: The interruption of magnetic field causes the voltage to switch high resulting in a sync signal of approximately 5 volts.

When the trailing edge of the pulse ring (shutter) leaves the sync signal generator, the following occurs: The change of the magnetic field causes the sync signal voltage to switch low to 0 volts.

Yeah like 89 said i wouldn't bother with an axle swap unless you plan on doing extreme stuff or it breaks. On 33's... I think you'll be okay on stock gears, I'm not knowledgeable on gearing at all. But i can say you should consider a slip yolk eliminator or t/case drop.

I'm just going to run the 35 until it blows up.
