No...according to the installation none of that was needed. All I had to do was keep track of bearing cap order and put them back in the positions they were in.

Well...I knew that wasn't a proper function but what is causing it to do that? Thanks

I have installed the Lock-Rite in the rear of my M38A1. The first day I drove it there was little noise...only clicks when cornering. Now it is making a Hellish noise which seems to happen when the pinon gear shaft travels into the pumpkin case. I can jack the rear end up and shift into...

Yes, off road ability is what I am looking far too. I've always been confused why vehicles with one back and one front tire pulling are called 4 wheel drives. It seems most stock 4 wheel drives are set up just that way but if it's 4 wheel drive all four tires ought to be digging.

Wow, that sounds great. I ordered one for the rear of my A1 and plan to order one for the front Dana 25. Thank you for your replies and I will try and let you know how mine works out. Chuck

Thanks again Mike.

Thanks Mike...do they hold up well? I looked them up and they also make one for the Dana 25 10 spline.

Does the M38 A1 ('53') have a Dana 44 10 spline rear axle? Thanks

Can anyone help me find a locker for the D 44 in the M38 A1...I believe it is a 10 spline axle? I have been browsing the archives and threads gaining more knowledge but not able to lay my hand on a locker. Some have talked about going to a 19 spline axle in the D 44 and buying the proper...

The M38 Ai's are geared 5:38:1 also.

Thank you for your reply...I wasn't sure and thought it might be 5.38 to 1.

Yes,that is correct...thank you for the feedback.

I just looked at my M38A1 tank, (not yet installed) and it is the shape of the compartment I'm referring to. I have a temporary tank in the jeep now that doesn't have a drop down section on it, so that's why I was puzzled about the empty area in the floor below it.

....would it be a sump compartment?

Maybe what I'm describing is a well with the above dimensions...?

What I have is a 19" x 14" x 3" deep compartment that doesn't take up the whole fuel tank dimension but is part of the floor metal and is 3"s below the fuel tank.

Does anyone know what the compartment below the M38A1 fuel tank is...'53' model?

Does anyone know what the axle ratios are for the full floating axles on the MB and GPW? Thanks!

I have a restorer who says the waterproof distributor and spark plug wires alone will provide no benefit to prevent no cranks or starting when distributor and plug wires would be wet. Is this true and am I on a rabbit trail? Thanks

Sounds like a winner...Thanks
