I am helping install a milemarker hub conversion...kit 33-50020 with the 297X axle joints....all pretty straight forward....went together real slick.....until we went to install the lock hubs.....there is about a 1/8" gap between the wheel hub and the lock hub.....the wheel hub has a recess and...

Ok maybe I'm just a tool freak....but I ruined 3 axle seals trying to get them in place in a D-30....I searched the net, I called drivetrain parts supply houses....I talked to tool guys...and all I got was "use a long rod and hammer around the perimeter till it seats". All I did was wreck seals...

For those of you who MODIFY your own axles....I have found Reider Racing to be top notch in service....no bull, no need to call and beg for your stuff. On time as promised...impressive in today's marketplace....And i'm a old hardass that don't give up unwarranted praise.

I need to find a flexplate attachment package...the "flywheel" bolts and the reinforcement plate...DC/Jeep has discontinued them...no luck at Napa, Autozone, Advance, etc... My current project MJ came with a manual tranny and I am going to an auto tranny...I'm no fan of shortening bolts and I...

What is the very best stuff to use to clean heavily soiled plastic...dash, interior panels, etc? I bought a complete dash and trim set for my project MJ that arrived very grubby but in excellent shape otherwise.

Is there any way to repair a broken/cracked dashboard short of replacing it with a new one?? maybe some sort of a skin kit...???

I just bought my "next" MJ...'87 model 2.5 TBI...with a rod thru the pan... Here's the guru question...I found a low mileage 2.5 from a '98 model Dodge Dakota....looks like a jeep 2.5...obviously the dodge induction stuff won't work with my TBI...but will it otherwise bolt up??? All I can find...

OK...I have searched till my eyeballs (all 4 of them) are gone whacky. Hopefully this will turn into a thread where there will be a definative answer as to exactly how to weld the tubes....rod material, prep work, technique, power supply (a/c, d/c, polarity, recommended amperage ranges,etc). I...

I have my D35 down for maintenance....I am toying around with the idea of drilling and tapping a 1/4" pipe thread hole in the bottom of the diff housing to drain the fluid after my weekly mud immersion...It's a pain to pull the diff cover every sunday morning to change the lube. Any Input???

I already searched this...and the guys at Randy's have no answer so far. So here goes. I broke my Tru-track...decided to reinstall my stock carrier with a lockrite and upgrade my disco axle to non-disco with new axles that use the 760 joints. The problem is: on the pass side, neither seal from...

I would like to swap in a 700-R4 trans behind the mighty 2.5...I know the trans from a mid 80's 2.8 S-10 will bolt up to my engine...Has anyone done this swap before?? I like the idea of the lower first gear and the overdrive. The serious question is what to do to fit the GM torque converter to...
