Good to hear you are happy with your tune! The RPM readings from 4800 on are because of the dyno and VERY little to do with your vehicle. It has to do with the created load on the rollers which reacts to various things such as tire slippage, readings out of range etc. It does smooth out with...

When was the last time you did a brake fluid flush? Brake fluid is hydroscopic meaning it is able to absorb water to prevent rust inside the brake lines. Old brake fluid will have a higher water content allowing it to freeze (solid state). A solid does not compress.

Just completed my order with Jim. Thanks again for setting this up. Now everyone get your orders in!

Hey Jason, is it possible to find out for us if the order is placed online if there is an option to pay just the deposit (50%) instead of the full purchase price? Thanks for putting this together for us!

jbstrd Please put me on this list. Would love to reach the 15% discount!

I had an entire body harness from a 99 which was included with my transfer case so that is what I had used. From your picture I can verify that plug #4 can be reused, there is one ground wire that you have to switch pins. I believe you will also run out of connectors but from what I remember...

Here are the wiring diagrams I used for the wiring: 1996-1998 1999 Hope this helps.

I wish I would have kept my wiring diagrams around but unfortunately I threw them out hoping to never do another swap like this again. When I am at work let me see if I can get you a better wiring diagram to work from. Although I never used Singtoe's chart he had posted in one of his previous...

If you understand wiring and can read a wiring diagram then it isn't difficult. I did have an entire wiring harness from a 99 to work with so I actually re-pinned all connectors. I'm not sure if I mentioned but with the 99+ gauges in our pre-99, I could not get the fuel gauge to work properly. I...

I highly doubt that all the wiring is there but I'd have to pull up a wiring diagram of the specific model to be certain. As I stated, the 4WD Selectable transfer case will have more existing wires that you will end up using. With the wiring diagram of the transfer case to be swapped, and the...

Although many questions have been asked about the possibility of a multi-mode transfer case swap into non-multi-mode 4runners, nobody has actually confirmed a fully working completed swap that I have found on the internet. Many have asked about them on 5spd transmissions, and I'm sure it's been...

Well, got everything working. Here is something that will hopefully get a laugh or two. I've been working on this multi-mode transfer case swap for 2 days now. Mechanically everything was straight-forward but there is some extensive wiring involved. Adding wires to the system, using all soldered...

Singtoe Yes I did use the correct 4WD ECU. Everything is wired in and appears to be correctly working. Moving the J-shifter from 2H-4H to 4HL I can hear an actuator moving. Now staying in 2H-4H and pressing the 4WD button I don't hear anything moving. I guess my question got answered and I have...

Hey guys, this is a question for those of you with a multi-mode transfer case. More specifically those of you with the 99-00 J-shifter. I am in the middle of a 99 multi-mode transfer case swap into my 97 Limited. I believe I have everything wired in correctly but since I have never operated a...
