For the cost of the swap , has there been anyone that did a custom cams and heads ; think performance related aka some lope
Got the idea from
This post “What year KJ do you have? If you have a mid year '03 or newer you will need major tranny work done,the 42RLE won't live behind that...
Replaced the front diff seals, removed the needle bearing on the passenger side and ditched the moog end links for Napa brand.
Unreal that this whole time my constant clunking was that bearing. The replacement intermediate shaft had no wear on it nor did the surface where it rides on the...
Interesting for sure. I want to check my build date again between the 2. See what you guys think. I thought I had one of the oldest 02s but I don’t have the unicorn 35 in the rear end
Between my 02 and 03 - the transmission is definitely different; that also made the front prop shaft different as well.
the door panels have cloth inserts vs vinyl
My experience , which I’m not saying is typical for everyone , was flat out being ghosted by RA for multiple warranty returns. Their reps made every excuse about the part failures vs worn;needs replacing. Then they would ghost me. AND shipping charges for cores and warranty returns - I’d rather...
Hahaha yea. I don’t do rock auto for ANY part that I wish to have an actual warranty on. I just use them for throwaway parts aka wiper blades etc
Honestly ordering from Quadratec was a sh!tshow. I have to call again Monday as I still have not been refunded for the 2 seals they did not send...
Ordered from Quadratec... very disappointed. Nothing about the process was easy.
They listed inventory being “in stock”. Then sent email saying not in stock. Called and spoke to Matt , explained - showed him multiple parts in my order say in stock but are not. He found something that was abs...

Thanks. I’ll order that one. And 2 seals wonder if I should just do the bearing on the driver side too ? Probably gonna sell this 2002 and keep the 2003 for a couple more years. We shall see
Thanks. Yea I can tell ya for sure the cv end moves and you can hear it knocking over any unevenness in the road.
ps. I was being lazy and didn’t type out intermediate ;)
https://www.amazon.com/National-Bearing-B-228-Axle-Shaft/dp/B003UE9XYC is the bearing inside the passenger end of the diff tube? I wanted to order seals and parts.
Someone else posted recently their cv axles had play and the answer was to replace the mid shaft... wouldnt the new one have play...
My scenario was due to replacing my coil packs with autozone brand. I did what all the threads here said to do. Swapping relays etc A week later I swapped them back to a different brand and all
Is well. Coincidence? Maybe. I’ll never know.
The cv shafts “hub” the end that looks like a soup can - have play in them , again.
Passenger side clunks like crazy going over bumps or ripples in the road.
new Napa remans and crown intermediate shaft in the last 3 years.
Any insight to what’s going on? What causes the play I’m...
