Ahhhhhh....very good to know. Thanks!

Good advice. I will be rebuilding my track bar so it shouldn't have any wrap at all. I'll research how to make that slinger! I haven't decided what to do but I doubt I'll keep these axles very long. Just curious, what does relocating the breather do for you? Does it just put it higher so...

That would be true for a standard driveshaft with U-joints on both ends. One with a CV joint however should have as little angle on the u-joint side and all the remaining angle on the CV side.

Made some progress today. My pinion angles were nasty so I had to cut the perches and turn up the axle. I decided to go with some U-bolt eliminators since I hate U-bolts and they were cheap and simple to do. The engine looks nice sitting in there, I still have a little work to do wiring the...

Great advice. I will do both of those things. We'll see how it lasts. Thanks guys. I burned them in so it's done. I'm curious what people are doing on wranglers with sprung over suspensions and these short drivelines. My last YJ was stretched so it wasn't much of an issue but this one is...

Hey guys. Just a quick dumb question. My rear driveline is short and in order to get a good pinion angle I need about a 30* angle on the pinion. Will this cause any issues with the axle, oiling etc? I need a beefier diff cover as well I guess.

Help me out guys. I don't want to have to drop my tank to figure this out. I have three wires running to my tank. Black/orange Blue Green/Black Anyone know what's what? I know one is fuel pump power, one is sending unit reading and no idea what the third is??? I've looked up wiring...

Nice work! This will come in handy in the future! I hate working with dirty steel. Do you think it will stay clean or will is rust quickly if left on the shelf now that it's naked?

Ha ha.....nope! I felt like I have given them enough money already. They want like $700 for theirs. Found this one on amazon for $140. We'll see if it's big enough.....the jury is still out on that one.

Made a little more progress. Wiring harness modifications are complete and back in the jeep. Still have to figure out how to make the gas pedal work. Some hoses and junk are done too and put on some of the fenders so I can mount the batter and radiator. I found my new radiator hit my...

Would this solenoid run an electric fuel pump or something or would it just be a mechanical solenoid to block off the fuel? .....maybe that's a dumb question, but I am dumb so those are my favorite kind of questions.

It had a half tank when we got it, topped it off here and have ran half way through that tank. It's in Timber Lakes up above Heber. Honestly it's not that cold up there. It's warmer than it is down here in the valley. We ran a propane forced air heater on it for about an hour before we...

It has about 2000 hrs on it. I would think it would be fine. I need to research how to diagnose these engines. Compression check, injectors etc. I guess it needs like 3000 lbs of fuel pressure? The manual says injection pressure is 4351 psi and injector opening is 3626.....not sure how...

Ha ha.....yeah.....they're so bad they're non existent!

I should have told you guys it does this even after it is all warmed up. We could have it running all day, kill it and then it won't start. It does have glow plugs but no intake heater as far as I can tell. No radiator just an oil cooler. This morning, after a LOT of work, we got it...

Great info! Thank you!

Hey guys. First of all I am diesel-stupid. I understand the basic concept of how a diesel works vs a gas engine but I don't know how to trouble shoot them or "listen" to what they need. Until recently I've never owned a diesel....now I do and I have no idea what they're trying to tell me...

Here's a couple more. Where are you guys tapping in your oil pressure sensor? Coolant temp sensor?

Sounds like that question needs to be accompanied with a picture! It could be leaking from a number of different places.

Not much too see by the pictures but we got the T-case installed and clocked up nicely. Fits like a glove (Novak is awesome!). I tackled the wiring harness myself since I am cheap and don't like to pay people to do stuff I can do (Or think I can do). We'll see how I did. All in all, it...
