Anyone have a shot of their t case in reference to how its supposed to be clocked on the trans. I marked it before I pulled it to get rebuilt but the shop hot tanked it and I lost my mark. I only want to put it back in once. Its in now but i think the front output is too low.

Pickle forked it. Thanks for the replies though! Sorry again about the upside down pic. I even flipped it on my phone before uploading.
I did get the press from Advanced, but I didn't know they had different kits.

**Edit - Uploaded a correctly oriented pic.**

Interesting. I'll have to file that one away for later

there's really only one way for it to fit in there without lookin funny but here you go.

You may have made a wise choice by just wiring the original plug back up UNTIL you do more research. What you're attempting to do IS possible if you go about it the right way and honestly, I would encourage you to try. The fact that the DC adapter that you have has resistors inside it indicate that it MAY output a reduced voltage for whatever that DC plug was originally intended (I'm assuming a cell phone charger).

Simple way to test this... start your jeep (don't just turn the key on, start it to get it to operating voltage), plug in the DC plug to your 12v outlet or ciggy lighter port, then test the wires with a voltmeter. If the output of the plug is between 10-11 volts, you should be fine. Obviously, if it's anwhere OVER 11, don't run it, but also, if it's below 10, your LEDs are going to flicker and/or operate dimmer than otherwise. If it's LOWER than 10v, don't use it at all... you're better off just searching eBay or an electronics shop for a 10v DC adapter for your car. It will then already have the correct amount of resistance in it.

When I bolted my TC up to my tranny, I did it out of the Jeep... and if I remember correctly, there was only one way that it would bolt up. I believe the bolts are pre-clocked to line up to the oddly spaced holes so that it can only be bolted on one way... hence the advanced adapters kits for TC clocking.

Sorry back to this again...So I swapped on some newer rubber and definitely need all new wheel studs on one corner. I also have to do one in the rear, is it the same story? Easier to replace the whole thing or can you do one stud still on the vehicle fairly easy? Timken or better for the brand as well?

Edit: I have the front one already sitting in the garage ready to go on.

Can a 1 inch transfer case drop Cause death wobble?

Nope, but it will cause other issues over time, particularly increased wear on your motor mounts

that's what I thought. Thanks. I got a bunch of old DC car plugs for all sorts of things. I'll see if I can find on that works.

Anybody ever put the alternator/AC bracket that's on the YJ and put it on an XJ? It would make the alternator much higher on the engine and will still keep the AC. Here are some pics of a YJ 4.0 I got off the internet. It looks to use all the same bolt holes that the XJ brackets use too.

XJ 2.5L bracket also works

Are you planning to run a center mech fan or dual electric?

right now, I removed my compressor and out the alternator in its position. But now I'm wanting to put the compressor back in for onboard air. So i remembered that my friends 93 YJ has the alternator right below the compressor. He has no AC compressor in its spot, so maybe he will let me swap brackets with him since he only had the alternator. As for cooling fan. I have the factory set up with clutch and electric fan.

You won't be able to use the stock cooling setup with the YJ bracket.

The stock XJ setup has the mech fan nub/pulley on the A/C bracket.

The YJ (and ZJ/TJ/WJ) uses a single fan on the water pump in the center, and their A/C bracket doesn't have a pulley for the offset fan. That's how the alternator goes higher, it is where the XJ fan pulley is usually located.

oh, i see. Well then, I guess I'll scratch that idea. I'll probably weld up my own bracket system. Who knows, maybe I could start selling them if it turns out good.

Also, I replace my exhaust manifold the other day on my 93 XJ. The date in the block was a 96. So apparently the PO put a different block in there and I have no idea how many miles are on it. Anyways. Are there any difference between the 93 and 96 4.0 motor? Just wondering.
