Airlift air springs in the rear make a Huge difference out back. Just a bit of air in them makes the rear end springs progressive rate, and for an example of how it affects the ride - that one addition took care of the sagging rear and also prevents the rear end from bottoming out when crossing...
It isn't possible before removing it. Very few TqCons have a drain anymore. Just accept that it's GOING to make a mess and plan accordingly. Ie, lots of cardboard and kitty litter.
Once you have the TC bolts out and are ready to split the engine and ******, put a ratchet strap around the face...
You can't remove the ring gear bolts without removing the clutch or torque converter first. Ring gear removal isn't required to remove the transmission.
The first (what you call rhe case) is properly called the carrier.
The second {with the journal caps and pinion races) is called the axle housing, sometimes the center section or colloquially, the 'pumpkin'. Aka 'the big heavy cast part with tubes pressed into it, making a...
Pardon the necromancy here....
Am I to understand the diff CASE is different for 3.54 and down, and 3.73 and up?
To reiterate - the CASE, not the Carrier, as is most often the situation with axles?
Asking because if it is, it blows my plan to regear a front 3.73 to 4.1 out of the water.
IIRC, the SAE spec for bolts says you want to have the diameter of the bolt in engagement length of the threads...
Ie, if I wanted to know if tapping a piece of steel that is 1/4" thick for a 1/2" bolt offers a strong enough union... No, it doesn't.
As for threads past the nut, am not aware...
Title is the gist of it...
WHY?
I want to swap the front diff for a 4:10 unit. I see the front diff is held in by something like 6 bolts, and would ordinarily require the front two to be removed AFTER the control arms are, because they are inserted outboard to inboard (ie, nuts inboard, bolt...
Did mine with the rack mount bolts taken out, in the vehicle, on a lift. Super easy with the right part (Moog K7388). That's a rubber bush so apt to fail in the next year or so. I plan to take out the front chunk to swap in a 4.10 soon, and will replace the rack assembly while I'm at it. Maybe.
Water in the fuel is a SEVERE problem in a diesel.
You need to not just clean the tank (and the entire fuel system), but install a fuel-water separator system. This will probably be a bit problematic in a unibody rig (vertical space for a fuel/water filtration stack being hard to find.
I...
Confirm fuel flow is my first trick in the troubleshooting tree...
Why did you feel the need to ADD an inline pump? Are you sure it's getting enough volume to the engine?
Did this problem occur before the pump was added, or start after?
Whatever the last thing you did to the engine before this...
Two problems...
You're running 30 weight oil.... Why? Spec is 5w30..
And Valvoline Maxlife? If you've had oil issues, why on earth are you running the same oil, still?
I have not looked into this specific to the KJ platform, but I'm used to seeing the VSS have a gear drive assembly takeoff of the Trans case that you swap out to address gear ratio changes.
Come to think, my 'before the split' 05 has VSS at the top of the pumpkin.. Disregard
Well, not to my Liberty.... But to the wife's 94 ZJ...
Finished installing (with my son doing most of the work as he's the pro and it's his work, but me doing all the 'wierd/non standard' stuff) a fresh 4.0 in the wife's ZJ.
It took us a bit, old motor died around the 14th (not completely, but...
