Are you running 30 or 27 spline Yukons?IntrepidXJ said:not pissing on my parade. my yukons didn't.
maybe inproper gear setup is the culprit?

Dependent on your application.................cal said:Building up the 30 is a waste of time and money.
I think I'm allowed to say that now.

monkeyevil said:If I were to build another dana 30 I would set it up like the one I sold when I went to a front 44.
WJ knuckles, 1-ton steering, aussie locker, TJ 297 shafts, spicer 760X joints, and 4.10's or 4.56's. I was comfortable with that axle with any 35" MT, but I wanted to go to a 36" Swamper 5.38's, and a 4 to 1 case... so I went with a 44.
WJ knuckles would be my first swap though, they are hands down the best steering and braking upgrade I did on the d30.

cal said:I would agree with that, except a good alloy shaft with full circle clips instead of spicers. I had originally planned to do exactly that to run 35's, but as many of my projects do, it snowballed WAY out of control.
monkeyevil said:My thoughts on this is, if your breaking stock 297 d30 shafts or 760's, then you probably would benifit from a 44. Not saying there is a line in the sand there. But usually the people that break shafts like that will start breaking ring and pinions, carriers, etc...
I would rather put that $$ alloy shaft money in a d44, than a d30. But that may be a personal preference.
cal said:You would not want to. WJ steering is better than Rusty's.
monkeyevil said:WJ stock steering is pretty beefy. We can build 3/4 ton and 1-ton stuff for the WJ setup, but if you get a good set of steering with the WJ knuckles I would run that till it's time to replace it... then look at your steering options.
We have a bolt in solution using dodge TRE's where the tie rod ends are comparable in strength to WJ ones, and the rods are stronger just because there are no bends in them. It makes it super cheap to replace the TRE's though.
cal said:I was reffering to WJ's crossover setup.
I'm using WJ TRE's with a 1.25x.250" tie rod and high misalignment chevy ends with a 1.25x.291" draglink on my WJ setup.
