I wonder if it could be something with a torque converter not locking at higher speeds? There's a blue 2.5 at LKQ in sun valley with the engine already pulled. 170k on the clock. should make the tranny that much easier to pull out if you're looking for a possible replacement. :-)

does overdrive on/off have anything impact?

was it Miller Jeep Trail you went up?

doesn't sound like a common issue, not one I have heard of... but 4x4wire has a lot of information that I would deem to be quality.

does the 97 have the 4.63 gears where gen 2.5 has the 4.27?

if you're doing the seals, you might want to replace the hydraulic lash adjusters. not too expensive to do them all, and you have to remove the rocker arms anyway to get to the valve seals. something like this should also work for holding the crank. I built it for just a few bucks and a trip...

if you valve seals are going/gone, you will get that puff of smoke when you hit the throttle after sitting idle for a few mins... start the car up, let it idle for 5 mins... have a buddy hit the throttle up to 3k rpm or so, while you watch the tail pipe. Smoke then is a clear indication that...

I have 33s with no lift and no torsion bars cranked... No issues

on the gen 2.5, 3.5L engine, you don't have to pull the heads to do the valve seals. That makes it easier, but isn't necessary on the 2.5. I would suspect that the same is true on the early gen 3, because I'm pretty sure it is the same engine.

What is the distance from the ground, up through the center of each wheel to the wheel arch? you look like you have much more clearance than I do.

haha, I installed the EXACT same head unit. while the ipod is plugged in, you can press the jog-dial to play/stop, while in bluetooth the jog press = mute... but you can press the lower left most button for play/stop For reference, I have no body lift and no suspension lift (haven't even...

Yes, replace lash adjusters for sure... it's likely that a few will fall apart when removing the rockers

if the valve seals are leaking (aka smoking) you don't need to replace the engine, you just need to do the valve seals. it isn't too difficult, just time consuming. Here is a video I put together showing one of the valve seals being replaced.

Not going to run anything else right now. Long term plans might be for a bumper replacement not a brush guard
