Check your TPS. And go find another rear axle.

WraithKWK · Mar 5, 2008

is the dana 35 really that bad...
or is it that bad when u strap on 35" tires

Oh and i'm trolling every thread i can find on the TPS
when i first started it the idle was like 2k ... so i backed of the screw on the throttle boddy and droped it to 800 rpm bout 600 rpm when in gear.
now it likes to stick up to 2kish and 1k rpm in gear warm .... cold it idles corectly. when it does stick shuting off motor and re starting it seems to fix it for a while.

Dana 35s really are that weak. Unless you plan on babying it and not doing any serious trails.

Could be your IAC too.

Check your tranny kickdown cable from the throttle body, they like to stick sometimes and whatever you do DONT SHOOT WD40 in there or bigger problems will arise. Open the hood and pull on the throttle mechanism and if it snaps forward make sure the cable going into the tranny has 0 slack in it. I had the same problem and just delt with it. You have to pull the tranny pan off to get it off and replace if thats the case of the matter.

forums but i have read so many threads tonight my eyes are bleeding. I'll start again in the morn'N

As Kyung mentioned, D35s are very weak but if you dont ever plan on larger tire's and sticking to the super easy runs , then a D35 is OK.

Plan on 33" tires and still want to keep the D35?, then you better get the Super35 kit but really thats a waste of money for that axle. Its cheaper to swap out for a 29 spl 8.25 or D44

homebrew · Mar 5, 2008

theres a secret to running larger tires on a D35 Lay off the gas and dont air down I ran 32-33's for three years without a problem. the 35 may be a weak axle but they usally snap because the person behind the wheel usally has an itchy trigger foot with the mentality of "give it more gas"

cal · Mar 5, 2008

I broke my dana 35 on flat ground, with 32's and open diffs. Broke a spider and a shaft at the same time. I wasnt doing anything stupid, just turning left.

They really do suck that much.

Skwerly · Mar 5, 2008

LOL that is IDENTICAL to my '88 limited when I bought it, let me see if I can find a pic!!

I personally like the looks of the red and gold scheme, in fact I was sad to see my gold wire wheels go
