I'm in the process of re-gearing my Dana 35 with a Revolution 4.10 ring and pinion set. Right now I'm at 0.007" backlash with the carrier bearing caps on finger tight. The rotating torque of the pinion is 14 inch pounds without a crush sleeve installed. The carrier bearing are pressed on, but...

I'm beginning to rebuild an extra Dana 35 that I had, and was just confirming the placement of pinion shims and also carrier shims. On everything I've read and watched, on a Dana 35 the shims were outboard to the carrier bearings. But according to the Dana Spicer catalog (at least on version...

Pulled a sample at the last oil change because why not? We bought the TJ about 2 years ago with 172,000 on the odometer and no real idea of previous history or maintenance. Was losing a little bit of coolant, probably to worm clamps on the radiator hoses, but good to know it isn't ending up in...

My 1997 TJ (4 cylinder) reservoir has cracked. Was repaired with bondo or something once before. Doesn't seem like the part is readily available, any advice on a generic one that fits?

I have a 97 4 cylinder that is leaking oil from the pressure switch. Confirmed that it isn't leaking down from valve cover. I have a new Mopar pressure switch, but is it ever necessary to replace the right angle connector that comes out of the block? I couldn't find a part number in the parts...

What is the proper depth for the axle seal? FSM doesn't seem to specify if it is supposed to be flush with the face of the axle tube, or seated as far as it can go in? I drove this one in without much effort and the bearing spins fine. Just wondering if this is an issue or not. Seal and...

Been sorting the front and rear differentials out on this 97 4 cylinder. Front axle is stock Dana 30, no lockers. New gear oil and u-joints. Right now I am driving in 4Hi with the rear driveshaft off as I am sorting out the rear axle. So the front axle does this when the wheel is turned...

Anyone replaced an entire axle assembly vs rebuilding it? I have a Dana 35 on a 97 SE that is not doing well. Was rebuilt poorly before we purchased this Jeep and is failing now. Local gear shop thought it would be about $1600 or so to rebuild the existing axle. Looking around RockAuto, I...

Need to get my exhaust welded back together after I replaced and clamped a new muffler myself. The joint is right above the skid, so it will need to come off to access the exhaust system. Just curious, how does the transfer case and transmission get supported during this? I want to make sure...

So about 2 weeks ago, I replaced the clutch and rear main seal in my 4 cylinder Jeep. It had a decent leak that I traced with UV dye to the rear of the oil pan and there wasn't any coming down from above, so with 179000 on the odometer and an unknown clutch age, it was time to do both. The...

I'm about to change my clutch and leaking RMS on my 97 2.5L. Because this RMS is one piece, the flywheel has to come off. The FSM says to replace the flywheel bolts, but I'm having a hard time finding the replacements. I've looked and the 4.0L uses a different part # and description, so they...

Hi everyone, been lurking around here for the past 6 months or so after we picked up a 97 2.5L with a 5 speed with 172000 on the clock. This Jeep is basically stock all the way around and generally pretty sound. After going through and changing all the fluids (oil, trans, transfer case, front...
