Came across this today, and figured I'd share, as these transmissions have their fair share of problems, and I see this question on here a lot. All pictures and the article are from Sonnax, and is originally here http://www.sonnax.com/publications/transmission/titles/is-it-safe-to-drive. Is...

It's that time of year ladies and gentlemen. I've heard some rumor of interest to do a day trip up to storm mountain http://www.traildamage.com/trails/index.php?id=228. I think we need to arrange something, as we live in some prime trail area with some great upcoming weather. Plus I've been...

I've looked high, low, and in between, and I can't seem to come across a front hitch for the 2nd gen Explorers. Is this really true, or does someone out there know something I don't? Or am I stuck fabricating one? I've seen one for a 01-05 sport track which is exactly what I need, but I don't...

I'm pretty sure my 4406 just gave up the ghost. After my SAS, I've been driving it with a pretty sever driveline angle (14* at the tcase). As a result of this, I got a pretty wicked vibration from 20-40mph. I was planning to fix this with a slip yoke eliminator and a cv style ujoint at the...

Hi everyone! I'm going to be breaking in the new rig on October 10th up at Storm Mountain here in Larimer County. Although I've never been, I've heard it's not a trail for stockers, but bigger tires and maybe a lift and you'll be okay. Anyone else here who wants to get out on the trails for a...

So i'm dropping my 1yr old aussie locker into my freshly rebuild f150 8.8. When I originally installed it in the mountaineer, I didn't have any of the tolerance issues people have mentioned on here. However in the new axle, I have a problem. The measurement between the new gears (with the spacer...

Do I need to change the center pin on the rear leafs? Or is it ok to leave the nut facing down towards the new axle?

Anyone know this guy? Sweet looking ex, great price. http://denver.craigslist.org/cto/1862901303.html

Hey just a quick question. Is there a trick to tightening the lock nut on the lower ball joint? Id like to get this assembled off the truck, but if I have to wait, then so be it. Thanks!

Before I tear into my SAS project, I though I would just check to see if anyone would be willing to share some garage real estate in Denver for some money. I only have an oversized one car garage, so a little extra room would be sweet. I would only be there for 2 weeks, less with help, as all...

Here goes nothing. Time to get rid of the IFS and go soild. Just picked up the Dana 44 yesterday, so I guess I'm allowed to start my thread. The planning thread is here. I'm hoping to have this wrapped up in a month or so, and I'm sorry in advance for the newbie questions lol. So this is...

'Tis the time, for a SAS that is. After being limited by my IFS and constant problems with this that and the other, I've had enough. At least that's my justification. So, first up is a parts list. Being as this will be my most advanced undertaking, I'd like some been there done that opinions. In...

That's the symptom I'm trying to diagnose. It started after the following: Replaced cvs, front wheel bearings, and steering rack. After that the old girl shakes like a leaf over about 55 mph. But sometimes it doesn't, that's the troubling part. Seems to be at the same frequency as a wheel...

Just wanted to say hi to the Denver crowd :salute:, as I've moved from Fort Collins. Anyone want to help put in a solid front axle for me :D? Or maybe replace a timing chain? There'll be beer.......

ok so I'm at my wits end, and hoping to score some general input from around here as I wanted to shoot myself after searching jeep forums. Heres the deal. 87 cherokee 4.0 liter inline 6. You turn the key and there's a rapid clicking from the starter. Tried to "jump" the starter, nothing aside...

After this most recent fourwheeling trip, I noticed a concerning problem. I was holding on a fairly steep hill, about 45 degrees if I was a guessin' man, and the old girl wouldn't hold, or stop. The pedal was floored, but it was still rolling at an alarming rate. Is there anything I can do to...

On my way back from the CCR trip, I was fighting the oddest thing. Sometimes, I would get a pretty serious vibration at speeds 55+. It feels like a wheel out of balance. I say "odd" because sometimes the truck shakes, sometimes it doesn't. I had 400 miles to diagnose this problem, and factors...

I'm ready to light this truck on fire, and roll it down a hill. I give you the axle swap from hell. I NEED this truck to be running by tomorrow, as i have to help family move. Here's whats up now. passenger side: cv spins freely, any direction. pinion and driver's side: both spin either...

i knew this thing went in too easy. So, I have a 4.10 open diff from an 01 sport, and put an aussie locker in. Everything went in smooth as can be (f that clip though). Tolerances were all withing spec. But, i go to "test" it by holding the driver's side wheel, and trying to rotate the passenger...

Just wanted to hear some input on who's running what (aussie, detriot, or lock right). I'm about to throw a locker in an open 4.10 rear, and would like some opinions on whats out there. Thanks

This is more of an "am i screwed" question. when i first installed the tcase, it had a little leak from the rear output seal. fine, it was old anyways. now, almost a year later, i noticed a small puddle under there after sitting in my garage for a week. the leak is back, and much worse. did i...

before i blow a fuse, i thought i'd ask around on here to see what others have done. How do i get the $(*#$ing fan clutch off???? its a 30mm, and the only fan clutch wrenches out there seem to be 40mm and 36mm. every shop and store in town looks at me like im an idiot when i tell them the size...

after 3 weeks of being in pieces, i finally got my truck (97 5.0 mountaineer), back running. but now the every light is pulsing, about twice a second. i replaced the alternator (bench tested it, came back good), and upper intake manifold. idle is steady. is it just because its been an average of...

this stuff is a #$#* to work with. 5lb hammer and a torch, and i still wasn't able to bend this tube. so i went to a local muffler shop, and essentially said it would be impossible to make that elbow reach. mine is not the bellowed factory tube, its 1/8" stainless solid tube. i know this is...

needing to unload some pre-finals stress, i tore into my mounty today to put a new spacer on as well as an AWESOME upper manifold from jtsmith. took 2 hours to get it out+alternator+thermostat. i noticed a couple things, and maybe you 302 gurus on here will know. 1) when i pull into the...
