    4.10 Re-gearing - 2025

    How much additional correction is needed? I mean, the VSS reads the axle speed (corrected by the r&p ratio already) and the shift points are already set for the vehicle speed (which is now more correct with bigger tires). Its not like many other vehicles where driveshaft speed is read and the...

    4.10 Re-gearing - 2025

    My speedo was more correct after bigger tires. YMMV.

    4.10 Re-gearing - 2025

    Fwiw, we don't all need 4.10. That's a side effect of the auto having a very tall OD ratio. I regeared from 3.54 to 3.73. (6spd). Swapped complete diffs from an automatic. It was the perfect correction for the tire size change.

    Lift done

    Not that I can tell. The original gas ones were sagged out pretty hard by the time I changed them

    Lift done

    I'm running the Teraflex spacer lift with aftermarket control arms. 150,000km since install. Can't complain. I did eventually put in the diesel coils and Rancho struts.

    Front differential spider gears not working

    There may be some variation in angle-ability between OEM and various jobber. Ours is lifted 3", with 3/4" cradle drop. The only time the CVs get 'lumpy' is on the floor jack, and the suspension goes to full droop. These are jobber CVs now - not OEM.

    Antilock Braking System (ABS) issue

    Possibly a bad wheel/bearing sensor? ABS was optional on the Liberty. Maybe take the option to ignore/defeat it? Been very content with our non-ABS KJ - just sayin.

    Controversia Lubrication fluids for Giddyup …. Need advice … PLEASE and Thank you !!!

    Because I want all the grip from a trac-lok that I possibly can get. When it's used up, time to upgrade. Checked my gear oil. It's super-generic 80W90 with a small footnote it meets GL4 and 5 spec.

    Controversia Lubrication fluids for Giddyup …. Need advice … PLEASE and Thank you !!!

    Have used basic bulk 80w90 in both ends of the jeep the since 2012. Edit: and I don't use any friction modifier with the trac-lok.

    8.25 Axle swap - differences between auto/standard

    I would use rather get the conversion joint than disturb the yoke. If I was disturbing the yoke (or changing pinion seal) I would order a crush-sleeve eliminator in advance. Otherwise, the success of retorquing a used crush sleeve on used bearings is definitely not guaranteed. Our manual V6 KJ...

    04 KJ Trac-Lok rear diff problem

    You need the big hex tool to slide down the axle tube to adjust the carrier bearings for backlash and pre-load. I made mine with a big nut welded to each end of a length of 1/2" rigid pipe.

    It did not ever do that in 2wd for me.

    lockers

    I believe '05 is a mid-year change on the bolts for the 8-1/4". If you get a r&p with 3/8" bolt holes, they it will work with a carrier that has 3/8" holes. Some r&P's have both sets of holes.

    2003 Lockers

    The No-slip is silent. It has some synchros that the other lunchboxes don't have. Edit: Torsen types don't lock up. I have two buddy's that abandoned them for that reason. One was the OEM dodge ram type ('06) and the other was a Ford Motorsport one.

    2003 Lockers

    No-slip is a lunchbox style, truly drop in. Spider gears out, locker goes in. A full carrier replacement like @duderz7 requires proper shimming to get the backlash right.

    front end clunk, over speed bump - low speed

    The CV axle clunk is checked with a prybar. How far up can you lever the inboard CV?

    2003 Lockers

    The powertrax no-slip is another candidate front or rear. I had it in the front for a few years - I liked it, her not so much.

    front end clunk, over speed bump - low speed

    I had a clunk like that.... It was the CV axle banging around in the housing on the passenger side. New CV, intermediate shaft, and bearing/seal was the fix.

Grocery bag hook in, nervousness gone!!
TJKJ was right, I would have had to pull a LCA. Instead, I cut the bolt, bought another and put it in from the inboard side, so the nut is on the out
