This is all purely hypothetical for a dream build...... but if you swapped late model Power Wagon axles into a 4door JK, would the wheel speed sensors be compatible with the Jeep's computer? JKs have all them whizbang electrominically controlled programs, and the only interfaces with the driveline seem to be the speedometer (electronic, no old school speedo cables since '05) and the wheel speed sensors. I think it'd be pretty pimp to do a super beefy axle swap and have all those features still work from a highway and winter driveability standpoint.
Again, I'm talking "dream build", so I imagine it would be easier to make all those controls work if I did a Hemi swap along with the PW axles and then used a Dodge truck computer. Of course that would lead to all the nightmares of grafting a Dodge truck wiring harness into a Jeep and making all the other bells and whistles work.
Yet another idea, some companies offering Hemi swap kits reprogram your original Jeep computer to work with the 5.7. Maybe they'd be able to adjust for the speed sensor inputs that way.
