By the way was that locker used? The teeth of the locker should have sharp angles. If they look rounded you have a very expensive set of spider gears basically lol

Found a 98 TJ being parted out on CL. Its a 2.5/auto from a little research I think it should have 4.10s but what axles do the TJs have?

If its a D30LP/D35 I don't know if it'd be worth the swap. It'd be for my DD running 245/75/16s


Edit:

Looks like its likely an LP D30/D35c combo. Never mind.

u got that right. It's a LP front axle. And the rear is usually a 35 (not leaf sprung, but rather coil sprung)

OK my Jeep is acting stupid again. Everything is running fine then I take it though a car wash and half way through the Jeep starts idling high at 1500rpm. When I started driving, it wasn't shifting right. Shifted to 2nd at 4000rpm shifts really hard. Shifts to 3rd and shifts hard. Shifts are really late. Also won't go into 4th gear. Cruise control won't work for some reason. It also keeps idling really low like 500rpm stopped in traffic then later on it'll idle high again. I'm not sure what's going on maybe shift solenoid or torque converter.

Hey all, quick question about the D30 yoke. I've been having bad vibes at highway speeds so I'm trying to make sure I'm not missing something easy. I have a rebuilt driveshaft with all new ujoints so I know that isn't the problem.

Vibes go away when I take front ds out.

Anyways, is the yoke supposed to have this type of movement or play? I just don't want to end up spending other money trying to fix this problem when it could be something simple like a new yoke. Here's a video.

If it has tow package or 30" Wheel & Tire Package, it has a D44

I don't think they would've done a 2.5/auto tow package... maybe... lol. Definitely didn't have the 30" tire package though.

What's the lowest tire pressure I can safely run on the road? I have ordinary, stock size A/T tires, if that helps, their recommended pressure is 33 psi. I'm not worried about gas mileage; what's the lowest tire pressure I can drive on the road at 65mph or less without the tires being ripped up or coming off the rim?

Well which is it? 65 MPH or less? You could do 10 PSI and not exceed 2 miles per hour pretty safely.
