Low-mid lift leaf spring options
watchamakalit replied to ghetdjc320's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
My springs were the "comanche club special" I believe they were 3.5" over stock with the metric tonne capacity. I think they are 5 leaf. I am running 31" x 10.50/15 general grabber atx. Pretty happy with the setup so far. -
Spray some water on it. Too hot. Needs cooled.....

I have GS military wraps with 3" built in. Spring under. I went 4.5" re coils and the truck sits pretty much level so far. I have about 2000 miles in them and no major settling yet. I have loaded them enough to squat the rear of the truck. They will squat about 1-2" and then hold really well with a load. Overall in am really happy with them. Might swap the fronts for a 3.5" just to gain some rake when empty and help it hold a load closer to level. Here is the closest comparison I have to loaded and unloaded. -

In need of LP 44 master install assistance.
watchamakalit replied to Jesse J's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
No just a wrench in a ring gear bolt and let the wrench bind against the housing while rotating the pinion. The mechanical advantage of the gears gives you the avility to push the carrier out of the housing. I found this guys tricks helpful. -

watchamakalit replied to Jesse J's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Put a wrench on a ring gear bolt and rotate the pinion. Your fighting bearing preload. This is where the pros would use a case spreader. -
Great story telling. Glad yo hear you found a booster.

Yes my breather system is intact and functioning. I still get seapage around the cap. I tried shimming the old gasket to no avail. Its either leaking or too tight to get back on the valve cover. -
Cylinder head thermostat housing boss broken
watchamakalit replied to fz1p5c's topic in MJ Tech: Modification and Repairs
Edit: I misread the post and thought the thermostat housing was broke. Not sure there is a good fix for this short of a head replacement. Being cast it will be difficult to repair. -
I can attest to this. I lost a nice turbine with a brand new 31" tire. Add a strap. The piece of mind is worth it.
