About to swap in a Ford 8.8 myself. I found the axle for 175. I've already spent 470 on an LSD carrier, another 130 on ring and pinion, and I can't remember how much on the seal rebuild kit, as well as the swap kit. Probably another 200 or so? Expensive upgrade. After all is said and done...

Great to know. I may go back and re-tighten them with longer bolts and some good old Red Loctite. Thanks for all the help, David!

Great idea. I'll probably need a deep well socket and a cheater bar, too! :)

Hey man...I was reading on a thread about rod knock and other problems that this guy in CA had and came across your post about KleenOil systems. I was wondering if you could perhaps pass on a little more info about what you use. I have a 4.0L 6cyl with an ax15 and HD np231 super short SYE...

I recently bought an HD Super Shorty SYE from JB Conversions. At the same time, I purchased an AX15 from Novak, along with their cable shifter for the transfer case. When I was installing everything the other day, I needed to shift my new transfer case into 2 High so I could link up my new...

Appreciate the info, David. Thanks a lot!

Hurst shifter? I looked on Novak's site and couldn't find it...can you supply a link?

I've never considered using 10w30 until very recently, and now I get it. I know dudes in the deep south that are doing some serious wheeling in that serious southern summer heat, using 10w-30, and they're fine. Really makes the case. That being said, only one other person here has installed...

I'm thiking running either Redline MTL or 10w30. Maybe the 10w30 in the winter, MTL the rest of the year.

Synchros failed in my latest transmission. The guy that sold me the transmission from Novak told me that I could definitely use a lighter gear oil, given our cold climate in the central Rockies. I'm not convinced that the Amsoil I used is yellow metal friendly. Red Line states that their MTL is...

I was more concerned about the shop that did the rebuild. I would imagine that the Novak unit would be pretty solid. I didn't really do anything to the rebuild that would speed along its demise...babied it. It drank Amsoil Severe Gear GL4 75w90. The only thing I may have done was to put just...

Oh, and the np231 is from JB Conversions. I figured I'd give it a shot before I take the leap and try an Atlas T-Case.

Hey y'all... I'm doing a build out on my XJ and I recently fried my 12,000 mile old rebuild. I hate doing things multiple times, including swapping transmissions, so I decided to pony up and buy a Novak Adapters brand new crate AX15. I have done tons of searching online and can't find anyone...

People will do anything to screw you out of cash. We had a situation at my hotel this week where a guest screamed at a great employee of ours for a coffee that took 3 minutes. He demanded a handwritten letter of apology from thr MOD and a free night at our 4 star resort. Jackass. He was...

I'm toying with the idea of buying a huge air compressor for my garage and doing some painting with it, among other things.

Hick said he wasn't sweating reelection. I'll do my best to mobilize gun owners across Colorado and see that he does sweat it...right before he has to apply for another job at the Wynkoop Brewery because he's no longer governor.

Sorry to dig an old thread up, but I have two questions about this mod: 1) Should I worry about parts of the filter disintegrating and blocking the cooling system? I'm reminded about similar setups on smaller engines causing blockage, then overheating and subsequent engine failure. 2) Has...

What is shipping on the 99+ intake to 81645 (Minturn, CO)??

I just recently changed careers. 19 years in Food and Beverage and I switched to Hotel Engineering. I can only hope I made the right call.
