i say timken because because thats all i know or use, otherwise i have no preference

it was slipping between 2nd and 3rd until soggy bottom and now it is slipping between 1st and second too.

It only does it when it gets warm. I think it has a cooling issue, i have gotten it pretty hot a couple of times.

Definitely sounds like a cooling issue. I used to run a universal TCI cooler in front of my radiator/electric fan but it wasn't enough. The th350 started to slip on steep climbs and I burnt up the clutches in a sand drag. Now I have a big B&M cooler with its own electric fan and have had no issues since.

I would be a little skeptical about the current condition of the bands, clutches, and pump in your c6 after getting it hot and slipping it. Even if you put a good cooling system on it now the damage might have already been done.

1. Anyone have any experience or hear good or bad with using the cheaper master install kits for differentials. I believe the bearing name is koyo. I need to buy one full install kit and the price difference is crazy. I've found 77 for the Chinese stuff and 140 for timken. This will be for the bastard so it's not going to be seeing highway miles.

2. How many of you that are running 60 fronts have broken stock inners? How many of those that broke them grenades the spindle. I think I know the answer to this is most and that I need to pony up for the 35spl outers the first time especially with 42's and a heavy foot.

3. I'm ordering new perches for my rear 60, and plan on getting the rear perches that allow for moving the rear axle back 1". I'm thinking of slapping a 1" zero rate on top of this to get it moved back 2" total. Good idea or not? If not explain why?

1. I would just go with the cheap one, like you said it's not going to see high speed.

2. I've had 38"s and now 40"s with stock 60 shafts no problems. Broke a selector on a mile-marker hub but that's it.

3. I bought some perches from Ballistic or BTF (can't remember) but they were long enough for me to drill them out 2"s forward to push the d70 back a little more.

Would it be possible to install a fuel injection system on my dakota, and if so what would be the cost and degree of diffuculty associated with that venture?

it is an 87 3.9L V6

if its carbureted I would imagine you could do a tbi swap. I plan on eventually doing this to my truck. We will need to convince flem to help tho

FUnny, my ZJ has fuel injection. Seems to work pretty well

agreed but do you think either one of them understand what ignition advance does or is, let alone be able to set mechanical advance or should i even say it........ computer controlled advance
