    Ok so. I just finished doing a 3.6 reman swap in my 12 RU 6spd, only to fire it up to a christmas dash, no detection of sway bar, nonworking abs or trac, a fuel gauge that doesn't work, the lockers are funky too. And while running or not, intermittent dings and flashes that can only be described...

    Alright so to start.. Fresh engine swap. From what I can tell is a older engine due to the one wire starter vs the original having two. Get that rewired and now have a crank no start condition. Testing and a few parts later, tell me no fuel to the pump and no spark. Will not even sputter on...

  11. TJ Technical Discussion
    Getting ready to start into a TDi swap on my '97 TJ because my 2.5 gave way not too long ago. Thought about the Magnum swap, but being kind of a "diesel nut" I'm pretty set on the VW option. Anyone on here done the TDi, or can point me in the direction of a thread on this topic? Just wanna pick...
