i welded the front and rear end up in my cherokee a while back. Now i realized that the jeep dont feel as strong. is it that the i6 is having to spin both tires rather than one or could it be another problem? it almost feels like the alternator is going out.. any comment greatly appreciated

Everything is constantly in a bind. Scooting tires around is not an easy task.

DO you feel it in the turns or all the time? If its all the time you have other problems then being locked f/r. Any error codes? Maybe time for a tune up and some performance parts.

whats this suppose to mean ^!
and no error codes just required main. light which is a oil change light i just havent turned it off and also its just if i step on the petal like the brakes are binding and it dont want to go but i already done brakes and ones its moving it rolles good so it cant be brakes or bearings.

You did welding, and grinding and then face palm... lol

did this happen right after you welded the diffs? From what your describing it sounds like its just binding and fighting its self like it does when you weld diffs. but it shouldn't be to bad in 2wd, tires will churp and kinda feel like its binding, but shouldn't make it feel like it has a lack of power...

it shouldnt feel any different then open diffs on the straight road

True, only really noticable at accel from a dead stop or turning. but he said it goes normal once is going... kinda confused as to whats not as "strong" but from the description I don't think its related to the welded diff...

when i say strong i mean at acceleration from a dead stop.

i dont thinks its related to your lincoln lockers. start looking else where. what else do you notice? what tires u running? your gearing?

dylan91xj

its gt 35s and 3.55 which is stock but i ran those before it started acting funny i noticed it after i welded the rear and front

Gee oh Dee

When was the last tune up?

Full tune up.

time the front u-joints this will help the cornering. that is when the caps of right side match cap of left side [u-joint caps] don`t think it`ll help your accel problem. yes know it sounds out there but this is kool little trick that makes a big differance .

its true, also helps when loaded to limit the amount of wheel shake off road. it eliminates some binding.

Question, see if it has more power when u shift manually. I have seen these b4 get stuck in third, and feel sluggish till u get moving
