    Axles/ suspension

    Jeep guys break stuff all the time, they just carry lots of spares. Additionally their steering and suspension geometry means critical parts are stressed differently than they are on GMT800s. I would leave the 6" lift and 35s on it until I broke something or needed more clearance. I had a '78...

    Axles/ suspension

    Welcome to the group. I'm in AZ, so truck parts are pretty prolific here. If I HAD to have a SAS GMT800, I would use modern-ish F250 or F350 front and rear axles. You're going to have to do a LOT of fabrication for 37/38" tires. Lots of lift, maybe 8". All things being equal, 35" tires only...

    4wd problem

    First off, welcome to the forum. I hope someone here can help. Not a modern 4WD guru myself. I'd suspect the actuator motor myself, for no reason other than I've heard of them dying.

    transfer case shift lever knob (np261)

    I believe they are press on. Likely retained by a little spring clip. Push down on the knob, turn 90* and lift. Should come off.

    Rear coil conversion?

    First, welcome to the forum! You should make a post a little about yourself with pics of your 2000. Second, this is a zombie thread. If you decide to do this, start another thread. Is this for lowering, offroading, handling?

    Lesson learned - GMT900 Regret, GMT800 Reset

    It was a combination of factors. One of which being there’s actually some swap support for MGs with Gen I 60° swaps. Also sourced a running donor ‘94 Camaro for a good price. Lots of factors, but really it boils down to we wanted to and it’ll be fun.

    Lesson learned - GMT900 Regret, GMT800 Reset

    There’s no space for a 90°. And the MG had like 40hp stock and it’s impossible to get parts for. 3.4 with a T5 will make a pretty good swap, I think. Lots of parts availability and “easy” to use factory fuel injection.

    Lesson learned - GMT900 Regret, GMT800 Reset

    Actually, the 3800/3.8l is a 90 degree, but uses the 60 degree bellhousing. Ultimately not a huge distinction, but we're swapping a 3.4L into a '76 MG Midget because of the smaller footprint of the 60 degree vs the 90 degree.

    A/C Not Working - Electrical Issue?

    First, welcome to the forum. Have you tried re-setting to manual and re-clearing the codes to see if you can replicate the "fix"?

    The Duct Tape Camaro

    I was worried they were going to "bogus" me. I'm right up against the $5k mark for the beater power adder class. This year there was a lot of "you have more money in it than that" when the judgement is supposed to be what the car is worth on the open market. Ultimately they liked my car and...

    The Duct Tape Camaro

    Judgement: My new personal best. 11.590 at 115.41mph Got knocked out in round two, but I had a blast. Car runs great and has now earned the next motor iteration.

    Keep driving your GMT800s?

    I was gone for a few days due to this: Tahoe towed really well. Probably 5k# with the car on the heavy trailer.

    P1516 and other random errors

    Welcome to the forum! When doing connectors, I like to hit them with some electrical contact cleaner or DeoxIT. Then plug and unplug a few times. Helps greatly with tarnish that can build up. As ORVietVet says, you need to go through all the grounds and connectors before moving on.
