Fixing The BIGGEST Issue With My Jeep Wrangler LS Swap...

- Its been about 3 years since we swapped in the 5.3 LS V8 into my Jeep Wrangler LJ. The performance has been great, however the transmission was always a little tight at slower speeds. Its time to fix that issue with a new Stall Converter from TCI Automotive!
To help with drivability and performance, we are installing a 2400-2600rpm converter.

While we are this deep, its a great time to swap in a rear main seal!

This has been my only "major" issue with the V8 swap in the jeep. Now its much more enjoyable to drive and ready to hit the trails!

Years ago my wife was afraid of my hot rod, I told her it's very easy to drive with a 4000 stall converter.
She finally drove it and said it's very easy to drive....
Love the video....
Thanks,
Brent
Wait, it's been 3 years already? damn, I'm getting old. :(
LOL So am I 😩
Cassie can wrench, lets get her a tool sponsor! Great job, keep jeeping classy Cassie!
YAY! Cassie!! Always glad to see 'ya👍
☺️
Great seeing you both post videos, good stuff!
Great video! Let’s see that hydro assist install!
Great job. Can’t wait to get mine done along with new TCI transmission and the new Atlas.
This shows vehicle weight and final gearing have a lot do with actual stall speed. That stock converter was better suited for a full size truck with taller gears. Back in the day, my co-worker put a factory S10 converter in his '96 Impala SS. It was a popular mod for those cars for more stall speed without being too costly.
So jealous of your lj! Looks awesome and ls power. Time for some wheeling videos.
Found your channel from TCI on Facebook. Good stuff
Ya'll are meant for TH-cam, love the videos
I did this same job on my 5.3/4L60 ls swapped JK! I love the changes but wanted to ask you… yall had this jeep tuned before and a lot of people commented about low take off power. Citing torque management/tuning. I’m still watching the video so maybe you talk about it but I have the same issue! My Jeep feels like it hits a 100 shot of nitrous at 3500+ rpm! Low end it’s kind of a dog! 4:88s, Texas speed cam, 2600 stall TCI. It should melt the tires but it doesn’t!!
Sounds like you just have a mismatch of parts (cam/stall converter) or a tuning issue
Nice work! Looking forward to more.
I am so glad i saw this video.. lol. I have a 4.8L and have this converter in my garage debating to install it. Im Going for it ha! Should make my truck much funner.
The new style rear main is so much easier than the old designs (60's and 70's). A lot of people don't realize the importance of a torque wrench on this application to prevent distorting the crank, which will cause a leak on a perfectly good seal. I'm new to your channel but I'm sure you have a good transmission cooler, since that higher stall speed will generate more heat. Nice Jeeps.
When your doing your steering don't forget to check you steering shafts. My steering bearing was really bad.
Nice work!!
Luv that jeep, all ya need now is some paint to make it look as good as it drives 👍
Now we hit Screen Door again and we can compare footage I have from last time !!!!…..Nice work guys !!
Heck yeah! Hoping to get out there end of this month or beginning of June!
@@JeepGearGadgets just gonna go out on a single vote for June….LOL…
Great video ❤
Good fix!!!
The red LJ is looking good. They are always so close to being done. What does the future hold for the silver LJ?
Hey you guys!!!!
Hey girl hey!!💜😊
First off another great video, glad you got the breaking fixed but sorry to be off topic but I'm looking at replacing the radio in my JL, what radio system are you running? It looks real nice, and also y'all talked in a previous video that your about to hit the trails again, do you thing y'all will make it to Hot Springs AR. or SMORRS in MO?
Casey, I notice something about your last few videos: You look....Shorter...?
Nice! I wish I had an LS…
Anything is possible, maybe some day?!
@@JeepGearGadgets hopefully!
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I just bought my first TJ (2006) and I need to replace the top. Are there any soft tops with enough insulation to keep the coldness from the ac in? I live in Hawaii so it’s extremely hot and my current soft top doesn’t hold the cold air at all.
Next project is doing some roof demo and putting in a high bay
outside the scope of my skill set 😂😂
Ben, you are a very blessed man. Cassie is quite the poised woman,on top of which, She sure aint scared to get her hands dirty.
“He who finds a wife finds a good thing & obtains favor from the Lord.” Proverbs 18:22
What trans cooler are you using
Did you guys hook up the torque converter lockup at the foot pedal?
Yes
Remind me again, what engine is in the race Jeep? I know Cassy's LJ has the LS 5.3 and Ben's JK has the 6.4 HEMI, but can't remember what y'all put in the race Jeep!!!
GM Crate LS3 525hp package
@@JeepGearGadgets Awesome!!!
I want to know who cleans the house when you two are toying on your toys??
The biggest shocker was that the LS swap was 3 years ago. Feel like it was just last year
SAME!!!
No quality options to vedio? 380p
Showing 2160p on my end!
Steering is wonky? =waves 2 hands around. Center ur darn steering wheel too.
Sounds like you need to decrease the idle as well.
