Re: ls1 in jeep VATS is vehicle anti theft system. Street and Performance harness has a module that bypasses it. One cool thing is that you can unplug it or wire in a switch that will keep the engine from being started, no way to hot wire this. The harness are less than a thousand dollars.

Re: ls1 in jeep I'm doing a truck motor with 4L60E in my Jeep TJ.

Ah yes, here they are:

Here's the page I've put together for my swap so far:

I'd say going with LS1 edit is a GOOD idea.. if you set codes for any reason, you can disable them, not to mention the custom calibration mods you can do.

Re: ls1 in jeep Yeah I was going with the 5.3, then the 4.8, now I have a line on a 5.3 again.
There are lots of little issues you'll have to consider; I'm pretty sure I've got a solution to all of them so far <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
I'm using a regular truck harness that I'll modify to work in my application. I'd rather use an LS1 motor, but they are more expensive than the truck motors.

Re: ls1 in jeep I've emailed him back and forth several times.
I don't think he has much more done now.. he may have been doing something with the transfercase or transmission - he was still using the Jeep 5 speed. I thought it was pretty cool that he was getting 22-24mpg. Beats the hell out of the 16 or so I have to TRY to get in my Jeep.
