If the ID tag with ratio is not bolted to the diff with a cover bolt you can remove the cover the ring gear should have numbers stamped in it which will tell you the amount of teeth on the ring and the pinion gear. If not count the teeth of each gear and divide the amount of pinion gear teeth...
we ordered multiple choices from Napa and the one that matched based on specs the sleeve pocket was to loose to be acceptable. Please share the part number if you still have it
Can someone please help me find front upper shackle bushings that go into the frame for an m1009 Blazer 1984 model. We have ordered several and they have all been wrong.
This one uses 7/16 bolts. We have been ordering for the civilian K5 Blazer. Is there another civilian application that may...
most of the time there will be numbers stamped into the ring rear which is easy to see with the cover off when rotated in the correct viewing area its an AMC 20 mine had them just unbolt the cover no need to remove the diff itself rotate it look for numbers example 41 10 you divide the small...
I still have a good diff I think its the 2.56 or whatever was numerally lower I can sell to you if you have the same ratio I see you have a 703 number so you are not far from me I sold the vehicle the issue I had was hard to explain I felt the driveline binding and it whined more than expected...
I recently acquired an M105A3 trailer that I assume sat for many years. I towed it for about 50 miles and it made it home but when I got home the brakes smelled really hot and bad. When I went to move it again the wheel drags and locks up in my gravel lot. I am in the process of trying to remove...
It was nice meeting you as well thank you for the information
I will pm him I think bunji cords may work good enough
I was parking the trailer yesterday it rolled fine all the way here and now the left brake is locking up without touching the brake pedal only when moving forward I think...
I picked up a M105A3 this past weekend that has the M105A2-A1 cover on it. The ropes on the cover do not line up with the tie downs welded to the cargo body.
I found some pictures of the correct cover and I was told that the correct A3 cover uses rubber type cords to tie the cover down. The...
I haul all my stuff on a 14k 102” wide deck over trailer no fenders to worry about. The HMMWV is fairly light load at 5200 lbs but with the engine and drivetrain mounted to the passenger side and on an angle and with most of the weight upfront I use my air bags on my ram 2500. I have hauled...
Regarding your front drive shaft I would suggest checking out the front differential internals as well as the transfer case front output for obvious signs why they removed it. Also check the shaft and its joints for straightness and that everything is in good shape. I can tell you my M998 came...
We do not rotate the tires on the wheels for the assemblies we work on which is mostly 31-37" tires AT/MT tires as I don't think it would make much of a difference. However in theory it should give a better balance. At the end of the day when the machine is done balancing the assembly with 0s...
I like what I see to true them up nice creativity and work!
I can tell you that my M998 with the Goodyear tires came to me driving smooth at all speeds.
I balanced sets for other people and all of them have come out driving smooth
I have the Hunter road force touch balancer GSP9700 and the...
One example of a production vehicle off the top of my head is the 2003-2006 Jeep Wrangler Rubicon models have Dana 44 axles both front and rear and the ring and pinion gear sets are the same part number front and back
I tried searching for an answer to this question
I believe the o ring on the transmission modulator is leaking on my M998 with a 3l80 transmission
I ordered a new o ring and I am curious what is involved with replacing only the O ring. Do I need to disconnect anything at the top side on the...
I drove mine a few miles the other day simply to fill up the fuel tank and people drive like they always do like they are all in a big rat race I noticed nothing different in the way people acted driving it then or how it has been in the past.
I have been cleared for light duty work and it was nice outside today. I used my thermal imager and I was able to see that all 4 glow plugs are working. I drained the water separator filter and some dirt did come out and the fuel smells old and weak. After thinking about it some of it is...
A buddy of mine purchased these tire chains on eBay and offered to sell them to me does anyone know if these are ones that were manufactured for the military or knock offs? I was told some were Better than others hoping someone is familiar with these
since he purchased them in 2018 he was not...
