    Dana 44 front swap

    Just got a dana 44 front from a ’76 ford F-150. I plan to narrow it to rubicon length and use rubi/D30 outers (as well as shafts). Where can I find inner Cs that will fit over 2.75 inch tubes and accept D30 outers? Most importantly; is this an uncommon thing to do with a D44 swap? Lot’s of...

    brake booster upgrade

    I did the brake booster upgrade on my '89 XJ on 33s. I basically copied Starboard Ms write-up. Did all the research, bench bled, bled the lines, I even parked nose bown in a ditch and bled the brakes. Thought a bubble might be stuck in the master cylindar. I have better braking but there is...

    no power to the fuel pump

    I had stopped for lunch after about three hours of trail running on a hot day. When I tried to start it up it revved up really high then died and would not start again. After narrowing the problem down to loss of power to the fuel pump with the ignition on, we hot wired the pump to get it...

    Montan Fab Transmission Override Pre 1996

    I purchased the Montana Fab transmission override system, installed it and something is wrong. With the tranny shifted in "D" and the MF selector in “D” it will not shift out of first. While the tranny is in 1-2 the MF selector works as described locking the tranny in 1 or 2 (only) as...

    Brake Booster Upgrade Expert?

    I have a 1989 XJ and just swapped in a Brake Booster and Master Cylinder from a 1997 Grand Cherokee. My brakes are still squishy and not stopping well. I'm sure I'm forgetting something. I kept the old proportioning valve because I still have drum rears. I bench bled the MC and then bled the...

    Dana 44 from a 87 XJ

    I got a 89' XJ with a D35. I just landed a dana 44 from a 1987 Cherokee. I need to gear it (4.56) and lock it. I'm looking at all my options. I know not all D44s are the same so I need to know what other makes and models or D44 part's will swap into my 44. In other words, what will work and what...

    weak brakes - help

    I have a 1989 XJ with 4.5 lift and 33s. I'm having braking issues. Normal street driving they work ok; I mean if I had to cram on them it would be more like stopping on a dinner plate instead of a dime. It's off roading where they seem to loose performance. They are not strong enough to hold the...

    winch help

    I got a used Superwinch Husky 8 off of Craigslist. I tested the motor by jumping J-1 to A then pos to J-2 and it ran just fine. I also jumped J-2 to A and pos to J-1 and it worked in the other direction (both times with the ground bolt under the motor grounded to the bat). All this from a brand...
