Where do you have your VSS?
1977 Cherokee S, Ford 5.0, 5 speed, BW 1356, 33 x 10.50 BFG's. No longer my DD.
2007 Mercury Milan, 2.3L, 5-speed, now my DD. 29 mpg average.

I thought it was discussed in this thread, but I may be mistaken. From what I have read, you need a VSS on the tranny output or it will never shift out of first when in low range. The ECU will think you are going 10 mph even with the engine at 4500 rpm. Unless your ECU is programmed otherwise?

I am planning to put a 4L60E in the CJ this winter, that's why I have been doing research.

The truck did great on the trip to ouray. happy to report that fully loaded i averaged 14 mpg on the trip. i am thinking that i want to change the front suspension to coils, the leafs are just too stiff offroad.

I would like to start by saying that this truck is ridiculous. It looks crazy long and hard to park anywhere. Secondly, It seems like it would take both sides of a divided freeway to turn it around. And i would like to end by saying, you are a genius and this is an awesome truck! You managed to take an increasingly rare truck and turn it into one of a kind that looks cool and suits your needs. I love it! Congrats on the build, and look me up when you get ready to sell! :D
