[QUOTE="Walt Jaquith, post: 426414, member: 18654"] I would definitely look into swapping your 4L60e for a 700R4 or 4L60 (no e) in that case. The "e" at the end stands for electronic and that unit won't shift without a computer. The 700R4/4L60 was the non-electronic version of that same transmission. The 700R4 does have an electric lockup function, but early versions were controlled by a vacuum switch rather than a computer. 'nuther thing I'd do if I was building a yj into an apocalypse rig would be to put a Ford 8.8 rear end in it. The rear diffs in the 95+ Ford Explorers were a close match, much stronger, and available in all the same gear ratios (and with factory limited slip and disk brakes in some cases). If you're running a Dana 35, the clock is ticking on it, pure and simple. The fact is that the stock yj was a very light duty rig. [/QUOTE]
