Well I do know that the knocking noise and feeling is most likely the birf stub axle on the bushing in the spindle. If it hasn’t already beaten the bushing out and damaged the surface on the shaft, I will get that taken care of first. Then if the diff has issues, I will be able to hear that...

I drained the front diff now after about 800 miles. Still looks like it’s mixing with the birf grease but I already know the seals need to be changed. I took pictures of the magnet plug and not as bad as before but still has metal particles. Based on this, I’m going to just rebuild the birfields...

So I am about to have to get a new windshield so I have a friend who is in the window tinting business, and he says there is a clear film UV protectant that goes on the inside of your windshield which blocks most of the UV and he so I might try that. He has it on his truck and his wife’s car and...

Well at this point I don't think I am going to continue with the DIFF as its been drained and refilled and about 500 miles, the level is still where I left it and it still looks good. I will drain again soon and see what it looks like and it there are more shavings on the magnet plug. I think...

I just noticed I have a small crack in my dashboard. That is something that has always bothered me and now my truck has one. Is there anything that can be done this early to help slow it from getting bigger? Can an upholstery shop maybe fill it with something with a color match sealant or...

Well thanks for pointing that out, and I currently am mostly driving on the pavement and some country dirt roads. This is my daily driver and I can't be wheeling it hard and risking breaking things. I wouldn't to that with this truck even if I had a new truck as a daily driver. I've driven this...

yes I checked everything there and all is ok. One thing that was suggested that I check is the bushing inside the spindle. I don't know if mine has the needle bearing or the brass bushing but I will be checking that as well. That actually is making the most sense at this point. If the bushing or...

Well I don't know about which R&P brand is best about like I don't know what motor oil is best.:) But I run 35's and I don't wheel hard in my rig like a lot of guys, and I don't have lockers, so Im not really pushing them to the limit so I probably won't be twisting or breaking them. I just...

Since the Cruiser has 240K on drivetrain and just 30K on newly built motor, I was thinking about just getting new birfieldseither standard or the Heavy Duty or even the Nitro Heavy duty chromoly birds. Now my truck does have ABS but the ABS manifold and module does not work so I don't have ABS...

I’ve decide to just go ahead and order the r&p and install kit and just have the shop do the differential. I will also get the complete axle rebuild kit with bearings and do that myself. I can take my time and do it the way I like. The diff shop is not in the business of rebuilding complete...

So today I decided to pull the left side apart just to see the condition of the grease inside the birf. It wasn’t as bad as I thought it might be but it was still a little soupy. The birf itself was still covered with grease so I think for now it will be Alright till I get parts ordered and get...

The grease line is the same on both sides but the right side is a little dryer than the left. The 4 nuts and cone washers order the knuckle were a little wet but not dripping or flying off in the wind. I went ahead and cleaned everything off so I can watch and see how it does from this point...

I guess it might be a good idea to go ahead and pull the front driveshaft just to free up everything until I get it all figured out.
