I'm just glad that you realize that a Detroit TrueTrac is a limited-slip and not a locker. You'd be surprised how many people don't understand that one.

Oh and welcome to the forum!
Lockers

Nice to see another red xj driver joining the ranks :D Soon we will rule the world.....  ;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...

Actually, I was originally miss informed. They are Dana 44's fully rebuilt with new 4:55 gears, and front locker with rear limited slip.. It will be fun enough for me for sure.  Now I just need to get it out to the bush and break it in.. Haha
