differential

Hello all, Long-term reader first-time poster. I have never had leaks around the differential covers when changing the diff fluid on my 2005 LJ. I feel like I do it by the book, razor blade & wire brush off the old RTV, then bead new RTV around the pan n leave for 24 hours before refilling...

Alright I’m pretty new to differentials and anything to do with rear ends really so any advice I could get would be much appreciated. Long story short about 2 days after hitting the trails my 97 TJ started having some serious grinding and vibration issues coming from the rear end. I just opened...

So i’ve been looking to beef up my rear dana 35 and wanted to get a super dana 35 issue is i’m having trouble understanding the whole spline situation, when I get a super dana 35kit am I getting the one from revolution that has a 30 spline?, would I be able to just install the super35 30 spline...

My 90 degree air locker hose fitting on the front differential is loose and leaking. What is the best way to replace the fitting with a new one? It seems like it is a press fit into the housing but what does the barb fit into inside the housing? Can the fitting be pulled/pried out and a new...

I was out the other day on moderate trails and on the way back there was a loud knocking in the front end that I could feel through the wheel and the floor. when I got home I jacked up the front end and I spun each wheel separately, they spun freely for almost a full rotation and then would...

I'm looking for experienced advice. I'm installing my locker today and noticed the previous gear installer marked my bearing caps and housing with a "G", with the correct orientation indicating the passenger side, and "G" being rotated 90 degrees counterclockwise on the driver side housing. The...

Well, it actually happened, my wiggle pin fell out of my wobble shaft, and I can't figure out why. :unsure: Dana 35 open diff. After a short, uneventful ride, I was backing my Jeep into my garage where I stopped at the door, got out and opened it. When I got back in, my drive line was locked...

Hey Jeepers. 2005 Rubicon TJ, Auto w/ 152k. Here is my issue: Lately I've been feeling a loud clunk when turning namely left. Well it's more of a snap feeling and sound. So. The other day I was driving home and the "rear lock" light began flashing on the dash. I pulled over and this stopped...

'99 wrangler Sahara I'm 80% sure I have a Dana 35, but I can't find replacement spider gears that have this rear spline, which suggests to me that a previous owner did something different with it. It has 20 outer splines, 27 inner splines and 15 teeth. I am so lost and just want to get my Jeep...

My Dana 35 finally blew up and now I need to road trip home to fix it from Florida to Ohio. Is leaving the rear shaft out and driving back in 4hi going to cause excessive wear to my T-case or should it be fine? It’s got the wide chain kit and an sye I also don’t care if the Dana 30 goes just...

So I had the Jeep (06, A/T LJ 4.0) back in the shop for a leaking RMS and a small transmission oil leak. This is my second attempt at getting the RMS leak fixed. First attempt was my local auto repair shop, not a jeep/4x4 specific shop. Was told by the shop the leaking transmission oil leak...

Hi Gang. Has anyone had a good experience getting gears installed near Albuquerque? I'll be going to 35's before long when I get a new lift sorted and when the tires are actually available. When I get there, a re-gear will be in order. I have no idea where to go. I had a re-gear done when I...

I am looking to get my differential fluid changed out soon. Normally I would do it myself, but I am short on time lately and have no viable place to do the work due to apartment living. I was just wondering what a reasonable price would be for both the front and rear diff, I found a good...

Hey everybody, 1998 TJ Sahara 4.0 5speed, Dana 30 front, Dana 35 rear, 3.76 ratio? I opened up my rear diff today to change the fluid. This is what I found. Video is attached below. My question is what causes this and how do I go about replacing the pinion gear? If I pull on the wheels, the...

So a while back I got in a bad accident and now my rear left wheel is sitting kinda cock eyed. I thought it was where the wheel meets the brake since the back drum plate and the guts of the drum brake were bent to shit. But in order to replace the drum plate with the new one (in pic) I need to...

Hello. First time poster, long time viewer. I'll apologize now if I accidentally offend anyone or step on any sacred topics. I'll thank @mrblaine and others now for the advice that's forthcoming. My Jeep. 1997 TJ Wrangler Sahara hardtop. 4.0, 32RH, NP231, Dana 30 / 35... most things are...

I am selling a Ford 8.8 rear end from a 2007 Ford F150 XL 2WD. I recently swapped it for a Ford 9.75" rear end, so I cannot send it in as a core. The ring and pinion has significant slop, which is the reason it was removed. It will have to be regeared. It still has the worn out factory 3.55...

What are the pros and cons of running a locker in your daily? I was looking into a USA Standard Spartan Locker for Dana 30 Differential. I've never run anything like this so any info would be great.
