Questions About Yukon Free Spin Kit

[psrivats]

I could have sworn my advice to him was simply to "See if you can't fix the vibration first" before plunging into manual hubs. What was wrong with that advice??? I'll continue recommending trying to find the vibrations first before deciding to install manual hubs. If the vibrations persist, great, install manual hubs. If the vibrations were, say, only caused by a bent front driveshaft, then he saved a bunch of coin.

The bottom line is that not all front-end vibrations need manual hubs to cure.

Did you even read what I wrote fully? I already said I understand your intent.

Let me ask you differently. Do you believe, or do you not believe, that there is a very specific harmonic vibration problem in TJs (usually becoming visible in a lifted jeeps with larger tires after a re-gear) for which the only practical solution is a front hub kit?

Irrelevant to this conversation but curious. Do you see this problem with LJs as well? Or just TJs with the 4.0, 42, 241?

After doing my auto swap, I’m pretty certain my 05 is one of the cursed rigs.

LJs are susceptible too.

Sucks that your 05 has this. Start budgeting for a hub kit and thinking about if you want the small or the big hub kit. Both have considerations that you need to think about.

Far less often but my 04 TJ Unlimited in 100% bone stock nearly completely rebuilt underneath has it straight from the factory.

Per posts on here, whatever stock Yukon had of the out of production Warn hubs is long depleted. They have been shipping with the AVM hubs for quite awhile now.

They really need to change their advertising photos then. Its misleading. But then again, Its Yukon.

There was a really good one from Yukon yesterday. Yukon salesman told a customer that Yukon makes all of Revolution's stuff. That's a level of desperation I've not seen in awhile.

Wow. That is a whole bunch of dumb even for them. Just when you think they cannot get any worse .. they do.

I don't think you quite understand what Blaine said. You have to reach out to him (he's very busy) since it's has easier for him that way. Since you have too few posts to send him a private message here, send him a note at the email address listed on the Black Magic Brakes website for him to help you.

Oh I see, thanks for letting me know
