Nice catch cocks. :flipoff2:
The CB in the humma would never transmit anything I said, but it would pick up all kinds of signals.
It was a cobra with an 18 ft coax, mounted on the back panel just above the spare tire.
Of course, I never did seem to have much luck with any mobile electronics :blackgrin:
Does anyone know if all Dana 44 hi steer arms use the same bolt hole pattern to bolt to the knuckles?
99% sure they are all the same.Quote:

yes they are all identical. Some d-44 arms will have an optional forward 4th hole to mount them to dedenbear aftermarket knuckles.Quote:

Crewcab is overheating a little. At around town speeds (under 50) it stays around 200 like its supposed to. At highway speeds it rises to ~220 and stays there. I replaced the radiator and thermostat today and its still doing it. I drove 4 1/2 hours with it running at ~220 and it didnt seem to cause any problems, but it has always held 200 with everything working. The only other things I can think of are the fan clutch and water pump. I replaced the pump around 2 years ago and it isnt leaking but I've never messed with the fan. Is 200000 hard miles a reasonable service life for a fan clutch? Is there a way to diagnose it for sure?
Might helpQuote:

I would think that it's not the fan or clutch if it's holding that temp at highway speeds. There should be enough air moving through the rad. to keep it decent. I would think water pump. With that many miles, a fan clutch might well be in order though.Quote:

Alright the hi steer arms I picked up don't look like they are gonna work. My driverside knuckle has the factory taping used for the stock dodge push/pull steering. The passengerside was probably done before Robbie had it in his jeep. It seems like the bolt pattern on the new hi-steer arms is the same as my knuckles.
The problem is when I try to line the holes in the arm to the holes in the knuckle the end of the arm where the tie-rod/draglink goes is touching the tire/rim. The crossover arm I currently have clears the tire by about 3/4 of an inch. Do different companies use radically different designs?
Right now i'm running 15x8 wheels with 3" of backspacing with 15.5 wide tires. I think the arms might be parts mike because the box for the studs says so. Any thoughts on this problem?
Get wider rims?
lets see some pics. I know what you are saying but don't understand why this should occur. Although high steer arm designs are different by manufacturer they definently shouldn't have this problem. Don't your high steer arms taper in towards the centerline of the vehicle. For instance when I went highsteer on the jeep I had to shorten the tie rod by about an inch because the aftermarket arms were narrower than the stock knuckle location.
