Project: Fix to busted CV shafts & wheel bearings! 56k no no

[Tim99Zr2]

yea, i know the axle will move back when i flex. maybe i will try the jeep springs first then if that dont work, get my s10 ones rearched.
and i looked at my spring mounts, they are good still.

[Baggey22]

I know that, I'm talking about mine and Tim's trucks

[Tim99Zr2]

well, got an update, but not a good one. was headin to a party tonight in the woods, and got stuck. i hoped out of my truck to hook up a chain to get pulled up the hill. i happened to look down and seen the ground glowing, look under my truck and there is a fire! wish i would of left it burn, but i put it out with my hand and a lil bit of snow. i think it was tranny lines leaking onto the exhaust. didnt look at it yet since i have to be to work in 4 hours. anyway i might be gettin a 5 speed for it?

P.S. my cell phone broke tonight too! what i great night

[Baggey22]

Why do you wish you left it burning?

dammit... all this negativity. should have just sas'd my truck instead ya bastard! and i thought you already had a 5 speed lined up for it!?

[Tim99Zr2]

cause i coulda got a new truck.. if i wasnt in the woods, it woulda stayed burning. im sick of it. i get it fixed then something new breaks.. but im going to check it out now, see if i cant find anything wrong with it.

i think its getting sold once i get it done. ugh.

OH.. another thing that happened, my buddy dented up my bed side pretty good too with a sand bag HAHA!! great fvcking night.

[Tim99Zr2]

UPDATE: found out my problem, tranny coolant line was rubbing on the exhaust, and got a hole in the line. easy fix. but still wish it would of burnt to hell!!

[Baggey22]

youre such a woman!!!!!

[Tim99Zr2]

no, just someone who gets tired of the same thing.

[Baggey22]

I think you should finish your S10. Then you'll have one project finished instead of three that are unfinished

[Tim99Zr2]

[Tim99Zr2]

hahhaahah.. brandon your funny.actually think im going to order my gears tonight, get a lil bit of progress

[Tim99Zr2]

hmm, cant edit last post, anyone know how good spicer gears are? i found the ring & pinion, bearings, seals, the whole 9 yards for changing gears all for 200$ that a good deal?

lemme know, i dont know shiz about gears

[Donahue]

spicer gears are by far the best IMO. they beat any aftermarket gear set.

are you talking about a master install kit? i hope $200 is for both axles cause if not, keep looking.

[Tim99Zr2]

its out of 4wd.com for my front axle. comes with everythin i need to change over to 3.73s

[Tim99Zr2]

would this be all i need to get new gears installed?
http://www.4wd.com/productdetails.as...0&partID=12846
http://www.4wd.com/productdetails.as...=0&partID=6013

EDIT: reading > me.i think im going to order those. pretty sure thats all i need

[Donahue]

[Tim99Zr2]

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...200347628&rd=1

[Baggey22]

it might help though.

[Baggey22]

I know it'll help. I'm just like 99% positive that it won't completely fix his steering.

[Tim99Zr2]

yes, im pretty sure it wont fix it neither, BUT it will def help it out.

and brandon, i dont wanna have to keep pulling you out. you cant forget i got a jacked up tranny

[Tim99Zr2]

hm. depending on how much this d. pitman arm will drop my drag link. do you think i could Z the drag link? or would that not be a good idea?

[Baggey22]

I wouldn't suggest putting a Z into your current drag link. One because it'll be too short once you Z it. Two a Z link can give you a good amount of bump steer especially since yours is a DD. If it was a trail only rig I would say go for it. My suggestion is still to do crossover steer and MAKE your own drag link like I'm doing.

alrightly, i wasnt sure about that, so i figure id ask! so im thinkin my tie rod & drag link should be pretty damn parallel after i get the cross over on

[Baggey22]

I'm NOT doing a drop pitman arm. I'm not doing one because if the drag link is too low with crossover steer it MAY hit the leaf springs OR the Ubolts/spring plate of the leaf springs. So I have a stock pitman arm from a YJ for right now. When the swap is done I'll do some measurements to see if I can do a drop pitman arm.
Thats just something to consider

[crazy91s10]

just thought of somethin... if you're worried bout bumpsteer and since its your dd you might want to think about a trac-bar. i know... kinda random. but just crossed my mind after reading baggy's post

[crazy91s10]

edit... oooops... pushed the submit button twice

[Tim99Zr2]

hm. gay. we'll see what happens, maybe i will do some type of crazy ass steering bahaha!

[Baggey22]

As long as crazy doesn't also mean unsafe

[Tim99Zr2]

haha. it shouldnt.??

also, when i buy new gears, should i get new carrier bearings aswell? do i need them?

EDIT: Baggey, i forgot i had to bend my 06' rubicon pitman arm down about 2" so it would clear my frame. you might need to do the same

[Donahue]

if you are going to have the diff apart, you might as well replace everything, bearings, seals, etc. dont forget the inner axle seals.

yea, i decided while i have it apart i misewell. ran out of money this week, hope to have them ordered next week. too bad i didnt have $$ for a locker

[Baggey22]

You should upgrade to a 1 piece shaft while you have your D30 apart too.
