A coworker had a tree fall on his jeep while he was driving. The damage is to the fender, hood, headlight, and windsheild. It has 158k miles on it. The insurance company has said it is totalled. He can buy it back from the insurance company for $700, and so he offered it to me. I haven't seen it...

When ordering a shaft they want the length from the center of U-joint to the center of U-joint while the jeep's suspension is loaded. How do they know from that how long to make the slip joint. Do they use a standard rule of thumb? (ie. 1" compression under load, and 2" expansion under...

What is the spline count supposed to be on the FRONT output shaft of an XJ transfercase. Does it depend on whether it has a 231 or 242, and does it change with model year? How about TJ's and YJ's? My 242 has a 32 spline front output, are 231's the same? I found a 231 with a 26 spline output...

I have a dent in my frame rail. Any ideas on how to pull the dent? Anybody ever try to weld a bar to the dent and pull it out that way. I've seen this done for sheet metal damage but I don't know if it would work for the heavier gage metal used on our unibody.

I need to open up my 99 NP242 transfer case and take a look around. Does anybody have chapter 21 of the factory service manual that I could take a peek at?

Sometimes when I put my Jeep into 4Low it puts it in low range, but it is only rear wheel drive. Also, when I put it in 4High it does the same thing sometimes. When this happens, I can hear a slight clicking that seems to be coming from the transfer case (similar to the sound a locker makes...

What is the name of the piece that goes on the drive shaft right at the slip joint. It has a metal skin with a rubber seal inside it to keep the grease in and contaminants out. The OEM front driveshaft has one, and so does my RE rear CV shaft. I need a new one for my rear shaft... its crushed...

My front drive shaft has lateral "play" in it at the slip joint. I'm guessing there's no way to rebuild this, is there? How common is this?

Just looking for someone elses opinion. Looks like I need the pattern a little deeper on the tooth. What do you think? Location 1, Coast http://community.webshots.com/photo/360852592/360853241BoKjOO Location 1, Drive http://community.webshots.com/photo/360852592/360853254nkoaVg Location 2...

Anybody use a bearing separator (link below) along with a 3-Jaw puller to remove carrier bearings? Is this a reasonable substitute for a shop press? http://www.harborfreight.com/cpi/ctaf/Displayitem.taf?itemnumber=3979

How does one tell a 260 U-joint from a 297 U-joint? I've got a couple U-joints laying around that are labeled "Spicer 20 U28 F1" and I know they came out of a Cherokee.

Can anyone confirm what size the nut is on the end of the Chrysler tool C-4164?

What is the concensus on reeming out old carrier and pinions bearings and using them as "setup" bearings? It seems like alot of money to ruin a good set of new bearings to make setup bearings. Would using the old bearings be accurate for setting up the pinion depth, pinion preload, carrier...

Whats the best way to hold the Yoke while tightening/loosening a pinion nut?

I ordered ring and pinions for my D30 and Chrysler 8.25. I requested Yukons, but today when they arrived I got Yukon for the D30 and Value Gear for the 8.25. Is this a subsidiary of Yukon or did they send me the wrong thing?

Does anybody have links to a write-up on re-gearing the Dana 30 and a Chrysler 8.25, or an axle that may be very similar? I'm interested in learning how to regear my axles. I know most people recommend leaving it to the pro's, but I'm prepared to do alot of reading and take as much time as...
