Thoughts? Coil bad after it gets hot? O2 sensor in a open loop bad? It has no Cat....bad gas, was sitting awhile? Thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated!!!

Also, it has a 2 inch lift, the guy put tall tires on it, they rub slightly, but the jeep feels like it is wondering all over the road, didnt dare go over 40mph...Thoughts?
The stalling could be a number of things. Coil, CPS, TPS. Probably a sensor.

The wandering is just worn out parts that need to be replaced.

Also where is the best place to pick up new gears and master install kits from?
Anyone?

Yes, you're going to need a new carrier if you want to go with a lunchbox locker. If you can afford it I suggest going with a full case locker.

Most of our vendors sell gears.

I put a 4.0 from a 99 grand Cherokee in my 98 xj. Had to change the TPS, motor mounts, and the oil pressure sensor. I think that was about it. In exchange, I got a bigger oil pan.

Hope you get her fixed up nice. BTW, what did the sound from the alternator sound like the other day, was it a grinding sound?

It calls for a different starter but I don't see why it wouldn't work. Considering the 98 is half the price of the 2000 starter I'd imagine there is a difference. I'm not sure, never had a 2000.

Don't forget that you need a RHD starter.
