D30 HP is a shim style pinion, there should be no play in the pinion, it needs pre load its more of a feel thing. I usually shim the bearings until it has a slight drag. Hard to explain but ill try, if you try to spin the pinion quick and it spins no problem its too loose. If you spin the pinion...

I would personally get a duramax for the simple fact that everything around the cummins is garbage, front and rear ends constantly go out on dodges, wiring is a nightmare and the autos are utter trash. I prefer a cummins over a dmax, but a dmax is still an excellent motor with plenty of power...

I use sandpaper to scuff the chrome up to give the primer a sticking surface. Like 220 or 320

Wow had no idea u had to seal threads on head bolts.. Never have come across that. I would say the block deck is warped or cracked if the head has been surfaced and passed a magnuflux/pressure test.

Bump

No that noise u are hearing is totally normal. The clicking from the spiders

Alright ill give that a shot i was planning on checking for vac leaks too thanks for the idea man

Hey everyone so i got a 96 xj 4.0 auto. Anyways when im out on the trail my jeep will start idling really rough and when i go to rev it up it will miss like its running on 4 cylinders. Then i bounce limiter a couple times and it cleans it up. But as soon as it goes back down to idle it will...

Yeah i looked at it again and thought that would be the case, the way the diagram was written up i couldnt tell if one side was power and one was ground or if the computer sensed when to send power to each solenoid makes sense now

I suppose i could hook a switch up to cut power to the tcu completely and itd stay in 1 when shifted into 1-2

I found this pic which helps but im unsure of how to wire the switches in? Like how would i make it to where the tranny gets overridden it seems with this setup the tcu would still work as it normally would

First off ive looked at multiple threads and am confused by everyone of them. How do i hook up a switch that when turned on will hold my 96 xj aw4 tranny in 1st when shifted into the 1-2 position. And when turned off will Act as it normally should. I hate doing a hill climb and the rig shifting...

Did you lube the caliper slides? And the backsides of the pads and clips? Was the piston easy to compress? If not it needs new calipers, make sure and lube it up. Buy centric 105 or 106 series pads, they are great. I put them on HD rigs at work that burn thru pads. Is your MC lines hooked up...

Well i had similar symptoms in my 4.0 v6 ranger (ohv motor) where id be in gear, 2500 rpms or higher and letting of the throttle or very light load in hear it would rattle from the engine, ended up pulling the motor to find that all my rod journals were shot and the valvetrain was severely...

I dont know which is better but sometimes the warranty is useless imo, id rather have a product thatll last than to keep throwing chinese crap at the rig.. But as far as numbers go the crown seems to fit your bill better.. But again ive never tried either..

To bleed it on the bench put it in the vise and fill it full of fluid. Let it sit until it starts dripping then grab a Phillips head and push on the piston. Plug the holes with your fingers and then let off of the piston, repeat until no or little air comes out. Throw the mc in the rig (gets...

Hello I was curious what everyone's opinion is about having a locker vs lsd vs open front diff for snow wheeling. I've looked all over and have found a few threads but all are contradicting and don't have the same questions I do. I mainly like rocks and snow, trails are fun but as far as...

also curious since im going to have to change the front carrier i was considering putting some sort of locker up front. or the true trac LSD, i like to do a lot of snow wheeling and i dont know that it would positively effect traction in the snow.. an open carrier is 80$.. also how would my...

Fair enough thanks for the input everyone I'll just regear the 8.25

Here's a pic of her btw! Don't know how to set it as my avatar...
