I've heard that graphite is a better alternative to oils, but with mine I've been unable to get very good results - so I'm not sure that will help...
I think this is an interesting discussion, as I have an old L-head in my CJ-5. It has always been underpowered, but I've tried to live with it....
I got mine from Bob Supplee - 2 or 2 1/2" lift BDS springs and shocks. Bob worked with me to get U-bolts of the proper size; some kits include...
I had a similar problem with my overdrive. It was the shift dogs. Herm was very helpful with that, and I ended up with a solid overdrive....
When I put the ARB in my rear D44 I used a drill press to make the hole in the housing. That took some of the stress out of it, but was probably...
I think there are ten - that is, five per side.
Wow, this story sounds a little like mine. I bought the JEEP just after my daughter was born, and took it apart. Then, we bought a house.......
I can't compare the two, as I've only used the Novak kit with the hardened shaft. Actually, I bought the "master rebuild kit" with all the seals...
X3 on the BDS. I haven't done a shackle reversal, but the new BDS springs and shocks are a great improvement on their own.
My vote would be for an ARB. They are costly, but I really like the selectable locker idea. It makes your JEEP much more versitile in different...
I just installed one of Herm's full floating axle kits into my Dana 44 earlier this year. Everything fit up well, and I did buy the Warn hubs to...
Hey thanks Nickmil! What's the torque spec for the bearing cap bolts? I believe I read somewhere that it isn't the same as for the rear 44....
One last question here, so I thought I would resurrect this thread to ask it: Does anyone have a torque recommendation for the nuts that go on...
Hello everyone. I'm getting ready to finish up my D25 front axle rebuild. I've managed to do the knuckle stud upgrade, and drilled my 11" brake...
Thanks to all who posted their advice. It took some planning, but I've decided to go with the 11/16" spotface with an 11/32" pilot, and the...
Hey, thanks for the link Billywam, that answered my questions. Just for reference, Vern says: "A drill press and counterbore will make quick...
Thought I should follow up with some photos of what I ended up doing here. I used a small rotary tool to grind the head off the rear of the boss,...
Thanks for the link - those prices aren't bad. So it looks like I would have to buy both a pilot and a counterbore. The big question is then...
Hello all. I'm getting ready to do a knuckle stud conversion on my Spicer 25 axle as per the instructions in the tech area of this site. In that...
Mine's only clean because I've had so much trouble with it lately! Nickmil - I have a dumb question: what do you mean by the "solid post"? The...
