i dont think it is motor mounts causing the problem. Also when you do the shackle reversal and flip it sets the caster at the right angle, so no shims are neccessary. Check the driveshaft, and pinion very good for any distortions or egged out areas. this sounds more like the problem than, motor mounts.
Well when your truck is sitting the pinion is pointing up, above the centerline of the driveshaft. Its not severe but I have always heard that with just u-joints (as in no CV) you want the t-case output yoke and the pinion yoke parallel to each other, in which case you need to rotate your pinion way down. I always thought this was more of a vibration issue than u-joint life though.
sounds like bent leaf springs to me, Eric has had that problem
The leafs arent the problem, the shackle flip just rotated the pinion too far up.
well damn, I guess he need some shims
Get yourself some help with that transmission and t-case stuff. Sum*****es is heavy.
If ya can get a hold of a engine lift, put a chain around the transmission, and lift the transmission through the shifter hole if it has enough room, thats what i did in my jeep.
Get asshat to help you with the tranny, if it starts to fall over he'll catch it with his head! I think you poopoo'd the idea already but my hoist is still available.
hey what is asshat doing with his heep. oh and steel those tires from asshat he doesn't need them
Um yeah, thanks again for dropping your trans on my skull.... I could probably lend a hand sometime this weekend with your swap. Oh and my tires are the basis for my current and upcoming build progress...so :flipoff2:
anyone ever use BVD for getting a new drivesahft made?
not new, but i've had them lengthen one
they painted it blue
You could take them your old shaft and just have them shorten/lengthen/retube it, save some money that way. There's also a place right off of South College near Chicken Oil, they're pretty nice.
im changing the yokes from 1310 to 1330, so i might as well get a new one made
