Good thinking. I'll disconnect the battery when I get home and clear it out. Unless you know another way that doesn't involve a scanner.
I picked it up from Tom Wednesday since I was in the city. It has a fairly rough idle and highway vibs above 65 so I was going through it trying to figure it out. Found a few small things so hopefully it will get better once corrected. Yesterday I lowered the front pinion a bit (2*) to get some caster back and dialed in the rear pinion to be within .1* of ds. Drives better then before. Sunday Tom is coming over to install the dynamat and with any luck the dynamat will soak up some of the idle vibs. (hence pulling the interior) Also a diff fluid change some time before Moab.
No that’s the easiest without a scanner just disconnected for 10 minutes

Out with the new
In with the old
Market holiday tomorrow so I have the day off. Wife will be at work and baby has daycare. I'm planning on swapping out the rear yoke with the 1330 so I can finally dump the conversion joint in the rear. Also, I ordered the items to do the transfer case lever mod and the parts come in tomorrow so I will be replacing both knobs. (Shifter / transfercase). After that the jeep is ready for moab. I'm thinking I'll run it without the flares since I don't anticipate tons of mud. But still undecided. Oh I still need to add a splash of antifreeze. I'll probably head down and get some tomorrow.

no I'm not that nice. I have to draw the line somewhere. The baby was putting all her chalk in it yesterday.
Oh.....okay.
OP
You're right 1310. Good thing I said the wrong thing but ordered the right. I was worried there for a moment.
Me too! 1310 sounds better. I need to replace mine as well, so go thru the process. Our rear diffs should be the same, but my Dana 44 isn't a Rubi 44, so not sure if there is a difference.
OP
Typically yes there would be a difference, but I bought my Tom Woods rear shaft when I still had the dana 35 in the rear so the shaft is set up for a 1310.
It's been too long for me to remember since doing my re-gear, but I don't remember if my Dana 44 had a crush sleeve, or shims. The rotational torque thingy has me nervous.
OP
If that's the case then one should only have to torque it down to 150 lb.ft or so and call it good?
OP
Weight of jeep / ebreak.
After installing the new yoke the Jeep was making a high pitched grinding noise. I noticed the new yoke has a metal where it contacts the pinion and the old one was rubber.
Did I buy the wrong yoke?
