IAT sensor relocation Mod
« on: March 27, 2012, 07:49:43 PM »
info here
www.angelfire.com/my/fan/IAT_sensor.html

there is some controversy about whether it works or not as ECU goes into open loop during WOT and pulls pre-programmed fuel maps.  And even in closed loop wouldn't the O2 freak out and readjust???

I am skeptical about this as nobody talks about this mod and it would affect all 4.0 ls.

I am asking because:
1.  This one is CHEAP/FREE.
2.  I need projects to do (parental leave) and I am Freeeeaking bored (when the kid is sleeping).

I bet Bill will know ;) ;)

i hear relocating zinc into the oil helps too Mike :D
I did a Google search for "hot trannies" but nothing came up about oil coolers  :o

Worrying too much about mpg with a Jeep is similar to worrying about your sister's virginity. An ok thing to be concerned about but...

Jeep did it in 2006.....................

Make that 2005

Should answer your question. ;)

Here is a link to some discussion on it. Its been around for a lot of years. Pay attention to whatever DocD says. He's a reputable tech.

I dont have anyone else that wants them and I didnt get a discount. A single set would run close to 175$ shipped, so I havnt ordered them. Seems steep in my opinion.
