    Maximum Traction Solution - 4th Gen Differential Tech

    You won't need a spacer. Unlike the current crush sleeve that goes between the two bearings, the new shaft has a step in it near the outer bearing. That is why the new shaft uses a bearing with smaller ID. The shims go between this step and the outer bearing. I had all of my settings...

    Maximum Traction Solution - 4th Gen Differential Tech

    Some great information here. Much of it was very valuable! However, take it from my experience . . . DO NOT use the Jeep Liberty [ LIB ] parts listed for the front axle [2002-2007]. They are NOT the same. I have a Jeep Liberty front axle paper weight to prove it! Both are versions of the...

    Eaton Detroit TrueTrac in 2008 ?

    So, I read the awesomely detailed post by The Electrician. I'm looking at the Eaton TrueTrac for my rear. Here's the confusion . . . according to Eaton's site, this differential is NOT compatible with the IRS configuration, only a solid axle with C clips. I have consulted several 4WD and...

    Low Speed Clicking Noise

    I have a low speed clicking noise. Only happens after it's been driven a mile or so and warmed up. I thought for sure it was the CV joint on the front drive shaft. My mechanic crawled along side the truck as I was going really slow and said it sounded like it was coming from there. I just...
