differential

Hi everyone! Ive searched the forum and haven't found anything quite like im experiencing so im hoping someone out there may be able to help. First off, here are the stats. 2006 TJ Dana 35/Dana 30 4.0 6spd. 101k miles 2 in. body lift Im getting an odd clunk/popping noise that appears to be coming...

So a while back I got in a bad accident and now my rear left wheel is sitting kinda cock eyed. I thought it was where the wheel meets the brake since the back drum plate and the guts of the drum brake were bent to shit. But in order to replace the drum plate with the new one (in pic) I need to...

Hello. First time poster, long time viewer. I'll apologize now if I accidentally offend anyone or step on any sacred topics. I'll thank @mrblaine and others now for the advice that's forthcoming. My Jeep. 1997 TJ Wrangler Sahara hardtop. 4.0, 32RH, NP231, Dana 30 / 35... most things are...

I am selling a Ford 8.8 rear end from a 2007 Ford F150 XL 2WD. I recently swapped it for a Ford 9.75" rear end, so I cannot send it in as a core. The ring and pinion has significant slop, which is the reason it was removed. It will have to be regeared. It still has the worn out factory 3.55...

What are the pros and cons of running a locker in your daily? I was looking into a USA Standard Spartan Locker for Dana 30 Differential. I've never run anything like this so any info would be great.

Hello everyone, I just bought my first jeep a few weeks ago and i have noticed a loud growling/whining sound coming from under the Jeep when I give it gas while at higher speeds. It’s a 2004 wrangler sport with the Dana 44 rear end. Has a 6” lift with the drop bracket for the transfer case. I...

Looking for some advice. I have a 99 Sahara on 33's, 4.5" suspension lift, 1" body lift with Dana 35. I was attempting to teach my wife to drive a stick Thursday evening, she kind of held the brake while letting off the clutch, then pop goes the rear diff. (Not her fault or anything, that's...

Hi all! so I bought this jeep in august and I've been doing a solid amount of research into what I want to build it into and I've recently gotten into overlanding (look up expedition overland they're really cool) and now that the (high school) football season is about over I can start working...

I've searched the threads but cannot come to a conclusion for what to regear my jeep to, or what it would take to get locking differential(s). This is my Jeep: 2004 TJ Sport 4.7L Stroker Dana 44 Front and Rear Axle (Geared to 3.73) NV3550 5 Speed Transmission NP231 Transfer Case 4" Zone...

Looking to purchase a differential as a whole or even just a decent set of spider gears. My ring & pinion and carrier are fine but my spider gears are shot.

as the title states. what is the best/ easiest way you gurus have found to press out the old upper control arm bushing on top of the differential (driver side). i have tried PB blaster and heat combined with a ball joint press but no dice! figured i might as well put a new one in since im...

Hi, I have a 2013 Wrangler Unlimited with 52k miles. I started hearing some grinding noise, had a mechanic replace brakes and rotors which were down to the metal. When he took off my tire, he noticed seal on axel of my rear wheel was leaking. He took off hatch on axel to get in and saw the gears...

Dana 44 4:88 ox cable locker 3 time it's sheared of 1 bolt head in 2 years can't figure out how this keeps happening any ideas?

Fellow Jeepers- I am about to replace a leaky Differential on my 98. I found the gear ratio tag, but I was wondering what type of gear oil would be best for a 4.0L w/ auto trans. I noticed there are a few types. I just want to make sure it's correct. Thanks in advance!

Forgive the faux-pas, but there are a lot of knowledgeable posts on this board and I the one LJ board I know of is pretty quiet. Aside from the merits (or lack thereof) of the Trak-Lok, did all LJ's in '05 & '06 come with one? I've been using the Jeep site to look up installed equipment on...

Hello, I searched a on few forums for this information and couldn't find it for a Dana 30 on a TJ but did find a few things on Dana 44 tj rubicon's, which struck me is irrelevant. My apologies if I missed this when searching. Running 30s, no lift yet, adjustable front and rear lower control...

So just as rcv makes pretty much bulletproof shafts for front diffs is there a company out there as of yet that makes abnormaly beefy gearsets for differentials? I realize this may sound stupid but its a legitimate thought i had. Why hasnt a company made gears out of some of these modern...

So two things on my mind with this. 1) does anyone make a complete 14 bolt swap kit for a tj? 2) is the ARB really the only option for a selectable locker?

These instructions are not meant to replace anything that a service manual or owner's manual requires you to do. I occasionally get an e-mail, or a posting appears on a forum, concerning how to change differential fluid. This is necessary maintenance for anyone that 4 wheels on a regular...
