So it really is only a jeep XJ body ,not a real jeepsure loved by all sure.jeep has 2003 avalanche LS5.3 ENGINE AND 4L60E TRANS WITH A 6" Lift (ouch) on 37" tires with 1979 Ford 3/4 ton rear ends.with NP231 transfer, np207 gone now with new NP231 transfer case from the '91 YJ ?, NO, from a CHEVYI bet now it is NP231C box, the C means Chevy box.with 2H, 4H, N, and 4L,, this is part time 4wd, not full and is not for the 4wheeling on pavement. only offroad or on ICE.ICE means, just that or snow or snow over ice. (sorry captain Obvious, just left the building,now)end ICE answersbegin, 6" lift extreme problemsthe real problem is the LIFT that high.3 "easy4 hard6 "extreme lifts.IT fails in 2wd mode too, that is because U-Joints have limits. (all do) and the lift span chart below.(angle) post.nothing else needs to known, but U-JOINT ANGLES are all WRONG.SOLVED,. the 6" lift done wrong. YJ is a very short Wrangler and very short rear prop shaft.that means Prop(rear) drive shaft angles are dead wrong. (solved the reason on 1 fact)DOne with no SYE kit. "slip Yoke Eliminator"'https://www.amazon.com/Heavy-Eliminator-52231-18676-60-Driveshaft/dp/B00FDWL7PMdone i bet with no shims for rear axle LEAF spring perches , to get angle right(they sell shim kits)the answer You need a double cardan or CV (same piece different name) at the TC case, this will require a new yolk. You will also need to shim the pinion angle to get the driveshaft and pinion within 2 degrees of each other.

do not ever do that!@ do not run zero clearance on the MC rear rod, or the brakes do lockup. this ASE call day1 chapter one NEVER DO RULES> is that,. take a class on brakes and not kill me on the road. or others. you bled them wrong. air is in the system. in the factory they pressure bled them top down. and did so super fast and 100% effective and safe! no kidding best. so buy the tools or bleed for weeks. the wrong way? here are the ways. all

1. gravity bleed, may take days
2. 2 man way, 100years old way, 1 pumps pedal ,man2, does bleed screw.
3. vacuum bleeder (hand pump tool) mityvac. etc.
4. top down brake pressure bleeder at MC cap
5. reverse pressure bleeder.

a good shop may be able to do all those ways saving the customer from huge excess labor chargers. assumed no ABS, i did. 1990

late answer short list (not all 10 tests) fuses good scan the OBD2 port, see if VVS fails or 3>4 shift solenoid fails. scan answered here 1000 times. millions of times online, www googled. OD is 4th gear, and over drive gear ratio .

scan the PCM OBD2 jack for VSS sensor errors or others. Veh, speed, sensors. is this automatic or stick shifted no engine told. is it 4wd or 2wd VSS is in different places 2wd/4wd VSS on some cars now is ABS sensors. so do you see ABS errors/

XJ jeep, 1996 no trans told. sadly. no transmission told mine was stick shift,THEN. lost your scan tool? OBD2,USA<all scan tools here work. that year. the engine is EFI run (fuel + spark) if you crank engine for 5 seconds and release the key. it tells you DTC P03xx errors if spark is dead 100 year spark test still is valid, and same,way, . "test spark"plug viewed and cranked, do them all not just 1. some 4.0 have odd looking 6 coil packs YOu have that?NO. mine had distributor. only. for spark, my 88 to 99 both do not replace the CKP sensor on the bell housing WILLLYNILLY or it fails. (but not this year) some ckp have gap setting cushion on the end to set the gap if missing that the sensor is destroyed in 1second cranked. I will now read the manual to you. 96/4.0L inline loved by all 6cyl. ok the CKP is PnP, no magic, no slotted holes,no calibration bumper tips, 1996 USA spec. so got spark? test for spark first the 100 year old way just like doing the lawn mower or a tin lizzy car.1929 do not lose distributor or spark plug wire firing order. DO NOT(replace wire sets or plugs 1 by 1, never all at once or it now fails hard. if the 1996 PCM sees spark hard failure the PCM then cuts fuel 100% by hard PCM logic, rules. crash and burn prevention. if the TPS ground breaks it goes to 4vdc and the PCM cuts fuel 100% (called super secret unflood mode) newer cars cut fuel for crash sensors but not this car. cuts fuel if CKP or CMP ARE DEAD. p034X OR P035X SCAN IT AFTER 5 SECONDS CRANKED, AND DEAD. compression good x6 150 psi up. spark good x6 fueling is last. always for all EFI cars, gas./

guess based on wikiDana 20 box.dana-spicer box.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/AMC_and_Jeep_transmissions#Transfer_casesread it?or google itor see NOVAK site firsthttps://www.novak-adapt.com/knowledge/transfer-cases/rebuild-guides/dana-20-rebuild-guide/wow goes back to 1962 to 1979 jeepsford box will not fit.jeeps,(but the guts will)hummmmmmmm.nice....Twin sticking the Dana 20 will allow for independent engagement of the front and rear axles in both 4 high and 4 low, allowing for power to be transfered to either the front axle, rear axle, or both. Additionally, TeraFlex produces a 3.15 to 1 low range kit for the Dana 20, which significantly boosts its effectiveness as a box for crawlers. 2 input and 2 output spline counts 6-10F/ 10-26Rshop wisely1962 - 1979 Jeep• 1965 - 1979 International Scout• 1966 - 1977 Ford Bronco• 1969 - 1973 Chevrolet K5 Blazerbest guess me, not seeing under truck,my eyesoem spec box is dana 20 that year and day

1. it has to fit
2. and have same gear ratio's
3. and the the TCM must like the transmission!! ooh complex.

no engine told and transmissions match engines, and all mounts and drive shaft. just buy a rebuilt and pop it in, they do the job right gee even ask them what fits, they sure do know. this act is the most complex of all jobs, for facts stated above and more.

new brain is a fail.! the brains are NOT PNP, NOT plug and play, period so now car has 2 problems. oops. one real,. and one caused. not told what engine is there? not told is starter dead, cranking is silent.? or cranks fast but will not start? and run or only runs 1 to 10 seconds? is the dash error lamp RED ball IMMO lamp glowing wrong? try the 2nd key jeep came with, new day1?

car is now dead/ ?tell all that works and does not work on the car.in brief.the crazy lamps means (most times) battery is super weak, or discharged,or near dead) but I can't see the lamps you call crazy. OBD2 must work it must at least show, monitor status for the smog checkand must not show communications failed.the scan tool cannot work if the car battery is dead.or weak or at 10vdc, sorry 10v bad, 12.6v normal.battery is dead. (under hood) or dischargedfuse blown. or wrong scan tool, 2008 year up tools only work (USA car?)we need all evidence. (symptoms)_car stalled but is dead now?is the starter now dead? will not cranking or silent or only clicks or only chatters the starter motor?or if starter is good, cranks fast but will not start. and stay running.??
