Does the jeeps computer systems use pulses from the speedometer gear in it's computations?

NDTs still? I believe that's called "normal" with those tires.

Gah, my manuals are hidden away. If you mean injector pulse width then I am 90% sure that the answer is NO. It will use the speedo for cruise control (duh) and selecting which mode to run in. I *think* normal closed loop and decel use the speedo's input but it's possible that's just based on RPM and load.

Can I use fuel line for the ATF hose to connect to my cooler on my new radiator? I had to cut off the quick disconnect going back to the trans. Thinking the heat might affect it.

edit: Found some transmission hose @ O'reillys so I figure its a thing. Guess I'll spend a few more bucks, ha ha.

Can you cut and fold the rear fender to where the lip is flat against the body? Everyone seems to go only just to the bottom of the lip.

Cause most people don't want to cut past those spot welds (the pinch seam). You can cut as far up as you want if you have the ability to weld it back together

I think the heat would be a problem in fuel hose (as would pressure if it's carbureted fuel hose), and I believe a reversed situation would lead to the fuel deteriorating trans hose.

So that 1/2" will split the body? I know it would with just cutting it out like the front, guess I was just hoping that folding it would help keep it from splitting.

Good to know. I picked up some ATF hose for $4 from Oreillys. Thanks.

Yeah my build sheet says I have the Rubicon package... so there ya go lol. Also says I have the carbon fiber lip spoiler and removable table or some such nonsense.
