    Rear Differential

    I've done pinion bearings twice now in the KJ. Once with 3.54 and once with 3.73. First time it sounded like a howl. 2nd time was a weird swishy noise (thought it was the tcase.) Seems to be a common thing. The dodge 8.25" was used in half-ton pickups and cars with small V8's so it should be up...

    65 Corvair's Steel Front Diff Build

    Actually, nevermind.... the diff and engine both are bolted to the cradle :rolleyes:

    65 Corvair's Steel Front Diff Build

    You're in a prime spot to drop/shim the cradle down some. Even just a little could help. I've gone to 3/4".

    02 Liberty Rear axle swap

    Is yours disc or drum brakes? I dont know if the axle housing is the same. Have also heard of a Dana 35 being used in '02, so skip that one. The plain open diff can accept a Lockright or similar, if you need/want more aggressive traction than a trac-lok.

    Power steering whine?

    I dont know if I've even put a pint in the whole 12 years owning it. The hoses get visibly wet. P/S oil spray in the passenger wheel well a few different times. Doesnt seem to leak right now.

    Power steering whine?

    I have found the p/s system fairly rugged despite some leaks. Keep the fluid topped up. The rack has leaked, and then stopped. Hose has leaked, replaced, leaks again. Have had used replacement parts on standy for about 5 years and not needed them.

    3.7L to VW 1.9 tdi alh conversion?

    Most legs have different ratios for V8, V6, and 4cyl. Not usually enough range in prop pitch to compensate. Check it out before you commit. I have a broken 305 in my fishing boat too. Going 327 or bigger. I don't have the patience for a slow boat! :cool:

    Poxy parking brake

    I dont know what you have, but mine is an aluminum D44 from a WJ.

    Poxy parking brake

    I have one of those WJ 44's.... not the same. There's the whole axle bearing retaining business. Spendier brake parts for sure.

    3.7L to VW 1.9 tdi alh conversion?

    I'm not sure which of those adapter kits works with the 3.7L trans. These are a dodge pattern engine like the 318/360 unlike the 4.0L jeep.

    What rear springs for 3in lift?

    Yes, stock new ones. Cut the top bit of pigtail off to fit. Gave about 3" initially and sagged to 2", then i added the durango load assist shocks.

    What rear springs for 3in lift?

    I'm using 96-02ish 4runner coils, and Durango load assist shocks.

    Poxy parking brake

    These drum-in-hat parking brakes are pathetic. Doesnt matter is its a liberty, or a dodge/ford/gm pickup. I dont rely on it; pack a wheel chock, or plumb in a hydraulic lock. $ucks for you guys with inspections.

    possible traction control issue

    The 04 I have for parts has ABS (must be front only?) because it only has the one sensor on the rear diff; one at each front wheel though. Maybe the 06-07 can derive a speedo signal so long as any one of the wheel sensors is working.
