Is everyone back now? NO

I don't know, now it seems like it is motor related as it vibrates more when I give it a little throttle. I don't feel it in the sticks though. I don't really hear anything different, just feel it. If it was a motor mount, I would feel it in the sticks right?would see a bit of movement on acc or d cell
 
Thanks, I will watch it. I know the truck likes to lift up when I take off as if I had 500hp. Maybe I am wearing out those old mounts or I didn't torque them enough after the motor swap.

Check your u-joints I had similar coming back from HS yesterday. I was having to find a speed where it was tolerable wondering if it was going to pop at anytime during the 400 mile trip home. It got me home ;)

DITTO quite possible
 
I was just thinking that before reading this message. It slipped my mind because last time I had a u-joint issue I had a squeak squeak squeak.
 
Cut and turn

I got those axles I have been talking about. I have some questions on converting them to spring over. The rear axle shouldn't be a problem just cut the old spring perches off and weld the new ones on the top. But who or where can I get my front axle cut and turned. I think that is the only problem that I am going to encounter.

Thanks,
Drew

Easy fix, loose u-joint bolts. Last time this happened it was Meineke's fault. This time it is my fault for trusting my Wal-Mart air ratchet!

will do:)
 
do u think is should go with the marlin crawler HD clutch kit are just the reg oem replacement ? and how do i tell what tranny i have ?

best bet is to see what is in there then decide on the appropriate clutch kit would be
 
im looking at the marlin crawler site now i wann put the 4 70 gears in the tcase ! are i can ad another box but that adds more inches to the drive train i wann go lower just to have it what yall think is the way to go?
 
You could put 4.7's in both boxes if you really wanted.
 
Probably wanna go with 23 spline in's and out's though. I would just go with a diesel swap with all the money you will be spending to get that torque you really want.
 
Put a four leak on the back then you will be good.
 
thats next year mike im making my list ! and wile im gone cajun off raod is gona do my list so when i get back im gona load the pumkin up and we goan hit all them monsta 5 trails!
