    Re-geared, now I have a vibration above 50 mph

    Has anyone with a HP30 or HP44 front axle reported vibration problems? I'm tempted to try this. With my front driveshaft disconnected there is a significant improvement.

    Re-geared, now I have a vibration above 50 mph

    I have been fighting a very similar problem. With the rear driveshaft removed and my caster at 4.9 I still have vibes driving in 4W hi. I'm considering two options 1. 1" MML - Won't this make the front driveshaft angle worse? 2. High pinion Dana 44 axle - it seems like this may help a great deal. If...

    Re-geared, now I have a vibration above 50 mph

    I have a very similar vibration and have tried most of the same adjustments. I have a Dana 30 in the front with 4:88's. I'm thinking about swapping the front axle for a hi pinion HP44 in an effort to get less angle on the front CV. I'm looking for a comparison of the pinion height between the two...

    Need help with check engine light and P0740 & P0700 codes

    I get 0740 from time to time in my 01TJ . Fluid and transmission operation are all good. Sometimes it clears for a month. The trans was rebuilt 2 yrs ago. I'm convinced it is an electrical connection. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Brake kit for 33" and larger tires

    I had the sticking brake problem on my 01. Although I changed rotors and calipers the culprit was the flex hose. The interior had deteriorated and and crap in the line was blocking it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

    Interior trim dye / paint?

    I repainted all the interior trim in my 01, including the dash. I went to Finishmasters ( a supply outfit in Fl). They mixed Dupont catalyzed marine paint to match. I stripped out the interior and had a local guy spray it after I prepped. Perfect match, can't even tell its paint, and it very...

    Re-geared, now I have a vibration above 50 mph

    I see mixed opinions on the boards regarding rpm. It is high but so far seems to be OK (except the vibration). I have 170k miles and it runs great.

    Re-geared, now I have a vibration above 50 mph

    I have the same problem in my TJ. Re-geared 3 spd auto from 3.07 to 4.88 (I changed the Dana 35 rear to a Dana 44). Before re-gear I installed a Metalcloak 3.5" lift, 35" KO2's, an Advanced Adapters SYE and an Adams drive shaft. Smooth as glass after lift and tires prior to re-gear and rear axle swap...

    What did you use for a reference point for centering. I want to check mine. I put a straight edge on the tire and measured the distance from the body. It showed 3/8" difference but I'm not sure the body is the best reference.
