The easiest and safest way to pull the carrier out is wrap a ratchet strap around it and hook to the frame/number etc. Then tighten ratchet strap until she comes out. Soft strap wont gouge anything and you wont ruin your sealing surface.

nice video but don’t you have to check the spacing on the locker half’s?

Nice vid bud, all well explained but shouldn't you measure the play between the ring gear and pinion before final assembly?

you can get the gears out by removing the driveshaft and then rotating the pinion a little bit. then it'll just walk right out.

@AdmiralOffRoad

Depending on the gear ratio that you are going with, you might need a new carrier. Other than that, you would need to adjust the shims to ensure the gears are meshing properly. It takes some time to get it perfect but it's not too difficult

Woulda enjoyed a demonstration of performance .

It makes noise but doesn't change much in 2wd. In 4wd it makes the steering feel a bit heavier because it wants both tires turning at the same speed but nothing unmanageable

I used to daily it with the rear locker and I noticed it at first but got used to it pretty quick. Really only noticed it in parking lots when making a low speed turn from a stop.

33s will hurt the milage a bit and be more expensive to replace but will give you more clearance offroad. I started out with 31s on my 4.5in lift and I thought they looked a little small. Personal preference but I think 33s fill up the wheel wells a little better.

Do u need to get an allignment since u took off tie rod

@AdmiralOffRoad

Жыл бұрын

Any time you are messing with any steering components, it's a good idea to check the alignment, especially on a vehicle that will see a lot of road miles but in this case, since we didn't actually change the length of the tie rod or any other steering components, and the alignment wasn't affected.

So you will still hear the ratcheting sound when driving in 2wd?

@AdmiralOffRoad

Жыл бұрын

Yes, without unlocking hubs, the axle gears will still be turning with the front wheels, even in 2 wheel drive and you will still hear the sound. If you have hubs that can unlock, the front wheels can spin without the axle gears spinning and you wouldn't get any noise

Well if its not a short to ground in your alternator. I have found that in most eng swaps that now experience electrical issues are ground related or the engine came out of a different newer year and the computer didnt get swapped with the engine. First thing removr all your grounds and clean them the bolt and block surfaces. Make sure you have all the grounds that are required for your year and that they are all in good shape. If all that checks out start tracking down the power wires to your alternator. batt to alt . alt to fuse box. ignition to alt . Check to make sure your wiring at your electrical compartment are the same and wired the same . From year to year they used the same plugs but switched the wiring order around. Check with Eric the car guy on KZread he has a form for this stuff. Talk to your local high school or votec school's automotive school for more information most have a great collection of shop manuals. Hope this helps some

Thanks everyone for the help. After analyzing everything I reloaded that I made a mistake. I took the wire that was meant for the alternator power and tried grounding that out, then the alternator ground wire I was using as the power 🤦‍♂️. Silly mistake but after switching it’s amazing how you don’t blow fuses 😂!
