Can a shaft from a pre-95 (31 spline drum) fit in a 95 or newer (disc) axle? Any flange or length differences? I'm looking for spare shafts. Thanks, Charly

Thanks Ray

Anyone?

Hey, Exactly where on the centersection of the 8.8 is best ot put the ARB fitting? Anyone have any pics? Thanks, Charly

Yep, OT is about 1.5 hrs away from Auburn. I just went wheeling up by Patten (east side of Katahdin) which is 1.5 hrs away fro me, so I wouldn't hesitate travelling that far. I am on the ORC board too (and JU, and POR and many others). Have you seen this one...

Maine huh? I'm up here in Old Town. I have a 99 8.8 and it has the ABS tone ring in the housing with the electrical plug on top. I din't know anything about the VSS being moved there. The axle girdles (bearing support covers) won't fit YJs with most springunder lifts. You'll have to...

Yes you made a great choice Hellbender! :D

I think early 44s (like pre 70's, maybe earlier) had 10 splines.

brian1, Do they say why? I haven't seen that. I know the 8.8 is not liked because of the c-clips (everybody hates 'em). Charly

The article you are talking about was in the 7/99 issue of Fourwheeler. It was about swapping the 8.8 into a YJ. I had later heard the test was actually performed by Warn. this is what they found: Axle strength in ft/lbs. D35: 4,000-4,300 D44: 4,600-5,000 8.8 (31 spl): 6,500...

Um, actually no. In your illustrations, the main eye of the spring (non-shackle side) is to the left of the drawing, and when properly mounted the pivot point is pointing towards the main eye (regardless of whether they are mounted on the front or back). So your illustration is backwards...

For many months now ARB has been redsigning the air locker for the 8.8. it was supposed to be out months ago, but I'm just hearing the are becoming available. Apparently the redesign makes them stronger (side gears, and more) as well as taking care of some of the leak issues. The redesign...

Could you please explain these statements. Revolvers have a tab/stop so they can not overextend. And what does springs stopping flex before the shackles will mean? Here's a pic that illustrates the tab: Dead Link Removed Thanks, Charly

thanks Thanks Matt.

revolver availability Stock Revolver sizes are now available through Tera for jeeps. Custom lengths are still handled through the inventor/manudfacturer Metal Made Rite. The best price I've found for the Tera ones is from Bob Supplee at Supplee 4WD in Oklahoma. The number is 405-799-8977...

I recently heard the new improved 8.8 ARB is now available. Can anyone else confirm this. Thanks, Charly

Rick, Didn't you have to grind a small part of the ring gear so the cross shaft could be reinstalled? And, do you know of anyone runing 5.13s and an ARB in the 8.8? Thanks, Charly

Yes, I hear the concerns expressed by Fireman Ron and others (I'm a firefighter/paramedic), but the air tanks use by the fire service are high pressure, with the lower pressure being 2200psi and the higher pressure (most bottles today) being 4500 psi. This is significantly different than the...
