    sohc, no spark, Help!

    Okay, thanks, is that something that could go out all of a sudden like it did? So, if it cranks and the CEL never turns off then it is safe to assume that the CKP is bad?

    o god dude, you need to put the camera down. No more crotch shots of me, you said those were jsut for your personal use. ;) And, just FYI, you said your front crossmember is 4x6, it is actually 2x6.

    Rock crawling competition

    Section525 told me this would be the best spot for these pics, and hopefully it will liven up this B2 section here. I entered my first amature rock crawling competition yesterday. It was put on by a new club from out area, and they had no idea what to expect or plan for. There were way more...

    Whats stronger, Dana 44 or dana 60?

    My best advice when considering the 44 vs. 60 is that if you don't need the strenght of a 60, the 44 is a whole lot less weight. two people can easily move around a fully dressed 44, not gonna happen with a 60. Invest in an engine hoist.

    Section525 - D44 2nd gen. leaves SAS

    Because with radius arms like you and i have the axle travels around a point (radiua arm mount) very close to the front transfer case output. this means that the differential never gets much further or closer to the transfer case, and doesn't require much driveshaft slip. In Johnnys rig with...

    Section525 - D44 2nd gen. leaves SAS

    It'll never work. You should just pay someone to do your gears for you, do you really wanna risk it? LOLz P.s. i think the gear marking compound stuff is a good color for me :)

    section525 fab- B2 stinger bumper

    well, i finally got the b2 to where the front end is at a finished "for now" stage, and the dual cases are all good. So i can mess around with little stuff like bumpers and adding onto my roll bar/cage. First order of business was to ditch my "ghetto lack of a" front bumper. I am too...

A tiger escaped from the train not far from Section's place. It was naturally attracted to the sparks and man-sweat. needless to say, i had to subdue...

    Section525 - D44 2nd gen. leaves SAS

    Johnny, why do you want to move the box back? you never want the tie rod and drag link to touch, i would leave it alone if it all clears right there. His u bolts and plates are stock to the waggy d44.
