I'd be down.@Alex01, maybe a wrenching day at the shop for Modoc guy?

We can't go wheeling anywhere, so I figure, why not. Not sure how far away @Modoc Guy is from here. Might be too far.I'd be down.
I'm going out on a limb here but I think he's near Modoc NF. I recall him being almost as north/east in CA as it gets.We can't go wheeling anywhere, so I figure, why not. Not sure how far away @Modoc Guy is from here. Might be too far.
But I do need some advice on a shop to take it to if and when that time comes. The big towns closest to me are Redding, Reno, or Klamath Falls. But I’ll go further for a reputable shop. If that Dana 44’s gotta come out, it’s only coming out once.
So, any suggestions on a diff shop?
True.Hard to sort through what's been done. BL, MML, stock skid, SSYE, and Rubi Dana 44?

Thank you Sir!Tony Huff, Action Axle, Redding.
Way south of me and Tahoe. Try Eagle lake, it’s about an hour south from me.A co-worker goes up to Lost Lake every summer. Think that's in your neck of the woods. Trout for days!
Gave them a call. They’re on vacation until 9/7, or after Labor Day.Tony Huff, Action Axle, Redding.
I've heard great things about the shop in Livermore but I figured that would be a way too long of a haul. I'm happy @Mr. Bills was able to throw out a recommendation much closer to you.I know of a shop in Livermore, but I don’t have personal experience with them.
Thanks for checking local Alex. Everyone on this board has more Jeep experience than I do!
I still have family and friends in the BA, still go to my dentist in Pleasanton, so coming back there is no problem.I've heard great things about the shop in Livermore but I figured that would be a way too long of a haul.

I came across their website a while back while searching for some Jeep resources.https://www.sneveysoffroad.com/
They used to be a vendor on the old NorCal Jeep forum. Don't know is they also work on rigs though.
Do you have a picture of the DS angle to post? That may help!True.
No BL. But I started with installing a Rubi Dana 44. Already had a SYE with no issues. Had no MML or skid plate spacers.
Bought an Adams DS for the install cuz TW didn’t have any parts. When my new Adams DS wouldn’t run without vibration, I tried putting in a MML, which didn’t help. Then I added spacers to the belly skid plate. All because I thought I needed to decrease the DS angle to get it to run without vibration.
Those changes didn’t work.
I called Tom Woods, and discussed my problem. I was told a dual carden DS NEEDS angle to run correctly.
So, I ordered a new DS from TW to be sure the Adams DS wasn’t the issue, removed the MML and skid spacers, installed the TW shaft, adjusted the pinion angle per TW’s spec’s, and still have vibration.
So it seems like the Dana 44 might be the problem, not the DS.
I have heard great things about Sneveys Offroad...no personal experience thoughI came across their website a while back while searching for some Jeep resources.
They might be helpful if Action doesn’t pan out.
Thanks!
