possum Posted August 1, 2008 Share Posted August 1, 2008 I know ther is a certain year of the stock Dakota lines that are longer. And if I am not mistaken are a direct bolt on replacement. This would be a good time for Pete or Eagle to chime in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjdoa Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 MiNi Beast,thankyou for the link. :cheers: I work in parts at a Dodge dealer like BLHTAZ, so I can order up the yj lines from here. I will put some pics on here asap,promise. I did put the xj axles under it after all,just finishing up. Had a problem,left front brake is dragging/locking up, don't find anything broken or binding,a tech suggested brake hose may be collapsing,thus the brake hose question. I can't find any other reasonable cause for the issue. Maybe I didn't get all the air out after the swap? Can that cause brakes to lock up? If anyone has any clues,jump in.If more info is needed to make a suggestion,let me know. BTW,anyone needs to swap mj to xj axles,I a pro now. And it ain't all that much fun. :roll: Again,many thanks, Tracy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjdoa Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 Not one of mine,maybe? The locker deal.?I thought I did ok on that one.Or not. I'm learning,trying not to be a complete dope.Learning to wheel,fab,weld,swap axles, lock axles,all sorts of neat stuff. Not a tech,a parts guy. First Jeep. Bear with me. I'll be as good as the guys on Pirate4x4 someday. :roll: Now,quit picking on me and tell me why my brakes are f'ed up. :D And seriously,thankyou all for helping me out. :cheers: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have the bleeders on top of the caliper right? No joking see them put on upside down and this will cause air in your lines and well not work like there suppose to.

mjdoa Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 Yes,bleeders on top.

mjdoa Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 Thankyou. :cheers: Ordered hoses for '90 Chev c10. Will try them tonight. I've been here off and on,I'm the one who got the xj axles cheap,had a big discussion about changing from 3.08 to 3.55. I did it,locked them,just getting the bugs worked out. 3.55's are fine I think,I can use 5th gear again. It left when I went to 32x11.50's, with the 3.08's. Have to mount rear shocks better(long story)fix the brake issue,and try it offroad. Hopefully Sunday. Will try to be here more on than off. HopefullyI'll have something to offer up.Pretty good Mopar parts guy,but I think BLHTAZ has ya'll covered there. And I will take pics and post this weekend,without fail.

mjdoa Posted August 1, 2008 Author Share Posted August 1, 2008 Don't worry,yer doin' great. :cheers: I will get SS brake hoses as money(spelled mama) permits.For now,after spending every night for a week and a half and all last weekend swapping axles,I'm sick of looking at the bottom of the thing. My eyes won't hold any more dirt or grease. Ever slop a drop of brake fluid in yer eye? Amazing how quick a creeper will actually go. And I really feel the need to do some low speed mud slingin'. :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
