Hey all,
First post. I picked up a '99 TJ with 84 k miles on it. 4.0 auto. It looks to be built "correctly." In particular, it has a Jeep Rubicon Dana 44 swap front and rear with air lockers and chromemoly shafts. (axles apparently from a '05 Rubicon according to former owner.) Everything else on it looks to be a no-corners-cut build, from the lift to the condition, to the maintenance.
The only issue I'm having is a "pulsing pedal" which is, of course, a telltale sign of warped rotors. The Jeep has aftermarket rotors that are drilled and slotted — unsure of the advantage as I've never had an issue with just the "plain ones" — but, I figure I'll change them.
I searched Rock Auto under '05 and don't see a differentiation between Dana axles. There is only one application (with multiple choices of grade and brand) rotor listed.
1.) Can anyone confirm that the rotors are the same regardless of Dana axle?
2.) Anyone care to comment on drilled and slotted rotors versus plain? I've always had good luck with just the inexpensive plain rotors.
Thanks again!
Brian
