well its been a long weekend, long story short, bought an XJ with a D35 with a detroit mix that with a wife that doesnt know any better and she just wants to take the jeep to run an errand and next thing you know you got a broken axle shaft, now i believe all those old D35 rumors.
well after a trip to pick a part i got the replacement shaft, and when reinstalling the carrier i broke the diff adj shim, awesome huh!
well i could use this as an excuse to go ahead and get an 8.8 ($100 @ pick a part) with dish brakes and throw on TnTs u-bolt eliminators for an extra 1.5" ($135) of lift and M.O.R.E.s yoke adapter ($40) and call it a learning experience. Are those all the parts ill need? ill reuse my other shock mounts.
or should i just try to locate a adj shim, where could i find one? would any old drivetrain shop be able to measure it up and give me one on the spot or is this something im gonna have to order and wait for UPS to give me, the old shim is broken in half should i just shove it in there and hope it doesnt fall out? I hate this crap.
ive got a well polished turd already and i could sell the shafts, detroit, re-enforced diff cover, 4.56 gears and i could try to break even or should i get a new shim. help me!
