Welllllll, I didn't do the trouble shooting with the drive shaft this weekend. Did The PHH, and the rest of my heater hoses, and a first coolant flush. I ended up just buying a tom woods DC. threw it in today, thing eliminated like 80% of my vibration! never woulda guessed.
Still not ideal...
YEahhhh not ideal, definitely look like they'd hang up on stuff. I have the robinson's correction plates that will go in it on a later date. Just need it to drive relatively straight for the moment.
just cause I figure I'm gonna end up buying one anyway, what are the flange specs for the front drive shaft? And measuring length for a new DS will just be flange to flange from Tcase to pinion?
Yeah after hearing of the drive shaft being out of wack, I was gonna pull it off and go for a drive.
Pull out the yoke and try each position 90 degree offset to see if it helps with the vibes. Tom woods if i need a DC (probably). No spicer flanges. wheels and tires. solid plan of attack. gonna...
Will throwing in a double carden work with the tase and pinion angles not lining up and make it "good enough"? or what has to move where to get the angles to line up enough?
It does have drop brackets for the control arms, and I didn't even think about an out of phase DS. that's wild. So would that involve just pulling the shaft out, and putting the yoke back in 90 degrees? Any tips or tricks fixing that?
I recently bought the truck, cause its low miles, triple...
thanks for all the responses! I was wanting the 17s for more tire options down the road, not many 37s available on the 16s.
For the next couple of foreseeable 2 years I will most definitely not be needing the capabilities that these trepadors provide me (forced to move to florida, but out to...
right on, looking at some mickey thompson/american racing alloys. they both have 4.5-4.75 back spacing, so Ill probably need a 0.5-1" spacer? know any good companies for wheel spacers?
Howdy! working out stuff on my new 95', motor runs beautifully at 155k miles, fluid filmed it, changed all fluids, greased the driveline, pumped the knuckles full o grease, working out little stuff here and there, changing all the heater hoses (waiting for a weekend for the PHH). Appreciate any...
