For the 10.5 I stay above .008.

Well while being pretty rare, parasitic loss is easy to diagnose. First thing to ask is if you have any wireless or add on controls attached? These are usually the main culprit that I have found. After that it is just a matter of checking all the connections to make sure nothing is out of...

Better. Might open the backlash a touch if your shims allow it.

Unless you are running tons and 40s there is little reason not to stay with 1310 series shafts on a TJ. It does little good to go with 1350 shafts and make your ring and pinions the weak link. Service your shafts with Spicer SPL ujoints and appropriate double cardan components or if you do...

Yes they are separate and include upper arm mounts for the axle as well. Let me know what you need and I will add it to the list to scrounge for.

You will have to add $500 to that for the rear uppers they did not include in the kit.

Ok I will get to scrounging and see what I can find.

They actually worked together to control intake pulsation. While some would argue they may help with power they are primarily for noise abatement.

Ok so that should leave two small MTPEG bushings for the front, four small race kits for the rear upper superflex joints and four large races for the lower arm superflex joints. Those I know I have some for you. Do you need any of the inner balls, adjusters, or washers?

So do the rear uppers have superflex joints on both ends or a mtpeg on one? I may be able to fine some parts for you. RE was very popular up here so I possibly could scrounge up some stuff for you.

So what parts do you need for your RE kit? Does you long arm use clevite bushings are the MTPEG ones?

Blaine is correct. A bit of corrosion is the first thing to check for. You will want a tube of grease and the two gaskets for the gear box before you take it apart.

Warn originally used clear silicone but I use Ultra Black as that is what I keep around. Once you get it apart give me a list and I will round up what you need.

I knew that was coming. Why is that not hose?

At my day job I get asked a lot about materials like what is used for driveline construction, what should be used for things like control arms for buggies or what should be used for building ATV trailers. Led to getting into a conversation with an oilfield welder a week ago that told me there...
