it really depends on what your doing and what the rest of the driveline is, but ive seen some chevy trucks get badly abused and stay together, so i dont know why you would have a problem with it for a little while, i would run it, whats the worst that could happen? you break it and then you just order your atlas.would the stock tcase hold for a while (maybe a year.. tops) until I threw in an atlas?

What kind of HP & torque numbers are you expecting with the LS6 intake & cam? I could always use more power out of my 5.3...03' TJ - In the process of installing a 2005 5.3L (LS6 intake, 220 cam) , 4L65e tranny, and NP231 w/ 32 spline output. Also running D60, 14 bolt, and 42's.
I'm running the factory yj 2.5 liter fuel pump seems to work fine . I also went with 5.38 gears and 41's it has plenty of power . I can't fully test it yet since ive got xj springs on the rear . I get serious axle wrap when i hammer it. Getting 4 linked as we speak.how many of you are running a stock TJ pump?
If not what pump are you running?
Also what axle gears are you running?
I have a 5.3 39.5's and 4.10's and it seems to have no sack, about to pull the trigger on 5.13's. Figured i'd ask
