    2005 KJ drive train questions

    242J tcase, and Chrysler 8.25" rear end. All the V6 autos are 3.73. trac-lok diff optional.

    SYE or custom driveshaft?

    Angles are really close as there are. I have no vibrations. I have no reason to change it.

    Replacing rack and pinion bushings w/o removing it

    Sounds overkill. I have spare tie-rods, but haven't needed them. Bushings were cheap and fairly easy to change. I've decided I'm not losing fluid fast enough to bother changing anything else yet.

    Replacing rack and pinion bushings w/o removing it

    Start to finish, i can't say. I had much of the parts jeep in pieces before i pulled the rack. All done on the ground... no lift.

    Replacing rack and pinion bushings w/o removing it

    I had a leak from the passenger side of the rack too. By the time i got the spare rack pulled from my parts jeep (few months) the leak had stopped. So I'm at 317,000km on the original rack and pump; and one change of the lines (that now leak again). I estimate I add a couple tablespoons of ps...

    SYE or custom driveshaft?

    I'm running an '04 auto trans shaft behind the 6spd and np242. Same length.

    SYE or custom driveshaft?

    No, because I haven't had issues. I spaced the cradle down to help my lift goals. Spacing the crossmember down was a stab-in-the-dark. Have you considered wear in the tcase output shaft splines, or the sliding yoke? Or the pinion bearings howling/swishing because they're shot?

    SYE or custom driveshaft?

    I should add, I have the engine cradle dropped 3/4", and the trans crossmember dropped 1/2".

    Need to replace my 2002 KJ engine

    More like the last 10 years here. Dead trans or dead engine - flip a coin. That"s how I have a spare one for parts!

    SYE or custom driveshaft?

    Best I can measure I have 11.5° on the shaft and 3-4° at either end. Surprised they are that close a match - it looks like more at the tcase end. The pinion is tilted up slightly because of how the JBA tri-link bracket is built. I'm using the driveshaft with the damper weight ring.

    Rear differential skid plate

    If you mean 'lunchbox' style (replace spider gears only) I suggest the Powertrax No-Slip for quietest behaviour. There is also Lockright, Spartan, Aussie, perhaps a couple more. To my knowledge there is no drop-in limited slip; these require fresh bearings and setting the backlash again. No, do...

    Rear differential skid plate

    The only reason there isn't a rear locker in ours is because the factory trac-lok hasn't given up yet. Always been on the radar...

    Rear differential skid plate

    Not so strange. That D44A created a market for one because it's aluminum. Iron diffs take lots of abuse. Folks grind them to be smoother to hang up on rocks less. (Some diffs are cast more favourably for improvement vs others).

    04 KJ Tire Pressure Sensor

    2004 and 2005 KJ here... never had tire pressure sensors.

    Need to replace my 2002 KJ engine

    I had my old head (that dropped the seat) rebuilt at a shop. They said they weld around the seat pocket to make it shrink.

    Rear differential skid plate

    Did some more checking. The D35 doesn't list for 2003-onward.

    Need to replace my 2002 KJ engine

    I had a valve seat drop too. Happened on a cold startup, and didn't even get to run a minute. Didn't wreck anything major. I was lucky to have a parts-KJ on hand with a blown head gasket. I took a head from it, had it surfaced, swapped it on. Here we are running fine some 12,000km later.

    Rear differential skid plate

    There's a number of variations of Dana 30. High vs low pinion; fat vs short vs 'regular' pinions. The most standard traits are the ring gear size and 27 spline carrier. The's KJ's IFS-variant diff cover has slightly different bolt holes, and is shallower - due to the packaging of this aluminum...

    4.10 Re-gearing - 2025

    Call it what you want. Top sensor on the rear diff. Our '05 doesn't have ABS. Speedo read fast with stock tires, and now really quite accurate with 30" tires.

    4.10 Re-gearing - 2025

    Only the tire size matters. Ratio doesn't affect it because the sensor reads from the ring gear, not the driveshaft.
