No problems with mine after I ended up realizing the adjuster on the hinge tends to slip. So I drilled a hole and dropped a bolt in it to keep it in the spot that works.
I added some more pictures into this album of mine: https://photos.google.com/share/AF1QipNxLWpvYKppqmPxywADiy4TijnVKXgT6u78_gL9YwkdIe5fIF5XDOh1WEVfA3ZLoA/photo/AF1QipMU7EHDtrUTtOnHQjL3eMfn7pBkZr9jlCWs3GLD?key=TjF0elMxMHpPQU5fWjRUQjdwb1NCLTIyeEsxUFNB
Over all for the money I think it is an good...
Looks reasonable. I think you need to jack it up and then take a shock off to see how much more it drops (or not) to start to figure this out. I'm guessing your travel is most likely limited by your shocks.
I think you need to understand how a leaf sprung suspension articulates to help you solve this. Look at the picture here and see if it helps: http://www.ttora.com/forum/187-long-travel-suspension-tech/186334-rear-leaf-setup-info.html
If you think it is your shocks jack it up and take them off...
I recently had a bad ujoint in my front axle shaft that created a low speed shake of the steering wheel that was worse when turning to one side. I didn't notice it at higher speeds since you don't turn as sharp. It's not too hard to pull the unit bearing and shafts to check the joints.
I also...
Here is an update from everything I've done to solve this. I took the shafts to another drive line shop and they were out of balance about 1oz at the slip yoke where there was already a ton of weight. So the replaced the yokes and balanced them. This seems to have solved the rear...
I also have 2.5 degree shims - shims are way cheaper than new gears. I can deal with the noise I have when my front shaft is out. However to complicate issues when I have both shafts in the 2 vibrations/groans interact with each other and pulsate and that is really annoying and concerns me of...
So yes I took pictures of the 8 and 4 degree shims and clearly was tired when I made the post about the angles I found last night.
8 degree shim puts the pinion to shaft angle 2 degrees higher wrong direction. This configuration doesn't change my primary noise but might create some one the gas...
Funny you posted that question. I have been out going through all the shims I have. All of them are RE. The 8 degree shim was what I have been running as it makes the pinion 1 degree lower. Then the 6 degree shim is 3 degrees lower and then the 4 degree shim makes it 5 degrees lower.
I ran the...
So the gears are most likely Yukon but maybe Motive Gear. I took video this morning of the driveshaft at the axle up to 80MPH just got to get it from the camera to my phone or home computer since I can't upload from my work computer... I'll get that out there tonight. No crazy vibrations are...
What do you mean by the primary? I have tried to video it but at those speeds the vibration messes with the camera's picture too. When I put it on stands it unloads to one side.
I'll find out what gears I have since I can't remember. The oil is the stock weight for towing whatever that is.
I...
dan1977p,
Could the groaning in the gear create a felt vibration at the higher speeds? Additionally could/would that gear groan translate as a vibration through the drive shaft?
I have played with the pinion angles many times and while I can create additional vibration on acceleration or...
Oh and I have G2 diff covers. I have even played with the amount of gear oil in there and I think that changes the noise slightly. However that could just be wishfull thinking.
Okay first here is the important details on my rig:
1998 with AW4 that I have owned for just over 2 years and I have done/had done everything listed
-NP231 rebuilt with Teraflex SYE kit
-New stock style motor and tranny mounts, no TC drop
-4.56 gears D30HP & 8.25 open for the axles gears done...
I agree I was looking for something that not everyone had especially Duratracs when I got them. I had Duratracs on our Nissan Armada at the time. Great tire it just seems everyone has Duratracs or BFGs.
I have a set of them too and they are great in the snow. Not as good in the ice as some other tires but I think they are a great all around tire that I don't see too many of.
WyoCherokee - love the rig!
By the way I'm running RE 3.5" springs all the way around with stock shackles and sit level. I have the matching front bumper with a winch so I have weight on the front too.
I would think that the regular nut strip would work since it uses the same holes.
The jerry can just straps to the inside left side in the picture below. You can see the high lift mounts that came with it in the same picture. Some day I'm going to mount it different as it interferes with the...
