By no means am I moving fast. Lol. Seriously between the Army and my civilian job, I'm lucky to get two days a month to myself.

Ok, today I installed a new fuel sending unit, fuel pump, fuel filter, High Altitude CPS, Relocated the IAT sensor, Installed the new ECU, new belt, oil change (needs to be done two more times to clean the sludge out) and she fired up the right way (no bypassing sensors) This thing is fun even with 3.55 gearing. Sounds like an I/O boat motor. Mud skiing anyone? Lol

Air box just like with the 4.0. That way it reads a constant temperature rather than hot exhaust manifold heated metal.

I'll get you one tomorrow. There's a reason Chevy puts them in the intake tract/tube instead of on the manifold.

The wiring loom is gone on mine so I have plenty of room to route things before I re-loom and zip tie them in place.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Ive always thought the MJs were neat. Too bad they made so few of them

Along with a coolant flush, new hoses and fresh coolant.
