      Well this was a huge PITA.

      Broke off two pins of the TRM turbo chip thingy.

      Kudos to Snap for helping me out!!!

      I had an extra ECU that I grabbed from a junk yard back when Kummrow thought my harmonic damper problem was an ECU problem...  But that $90 for the ECU came in handy because we used the wire holding the tag on to solder up the TRM chip!

      Now all is right in the world and she is running like champ!  A little break up still but not as bad as before.  I'm scheduled the 18th for some dyno pulls at Late Model Throttle in Waukesha, WI to get a better look at what is going on then I'll have TRM send me a better tune.

          Love the pic of the unsung hero (tie wire)

          I think we are the first people to ever take a computer chip to a bench grinder

              I'm more excited to have it not break up! 3rd gear gets shot up like Tony Montana but 4th and 5th are better. 4th bucks but hauls on the freeway.

                  Still breaking up. 2nd works well cuz she slaps the rpms like, well you know. When it goes through the rpms meticulously she breaks.

                    Was nice seeing you today. Glad the car is back on the road. A new tune and the diff will make a huge difference 😃

                      Das diff has arrived.

                      Spent the afternoon replacing the 2001 cherokee's alternator, serpentine belt and battery. Oil and coolant change as well.

                                It really is!  Amazing car.

                                Chemical Brothers leather cleaner and conditioner showed up today and were put to use.  I just applied a second coat of conditioner to re-treat the dry spots.  This leather is thirsty!

                                The e46 is up next.  I feel that this stuff will work out great.

                                  The break up starts at 4100 rpm in 4th gear.  The AFR drops to 10.5 to 10.9.  Thoughts?  Snap?
