64 Cheyenne Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Rob L. What axle/axles are you getting out of the ZJ,and what are you putting them in? Quote:I am taking out roasted D30/D35 3.55's, and putting in D30/D44 limited slip with 3.73's. Why? Rob L. Just asking cause I got a D30 for free out of a 94 ZJ ,No CAD,has 297x u joints. This is where I learned about the differences in a "high" or "low" pinion D30.(Mine was "low"=bad). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I don't think either of us put a magnet on it to check. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reson46 Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 As far as I know, the only D44s that came in ZJs were aluminum. Willy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The howling is getting worse and worse. I'll take my chances. This is just going to be basically stock, maybe a 1-2 lift, and 30's or something at most. Rob L.

64 Cheyenne Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 D30 low pinion = increased F/driveshaft angle with lift. Thats why I scratched the low pinion axle idea.I am going to use the 1 piece axles with my CAD style axle though. Larger 297x Ujoints.High pinion.

Larger 297x Ujoints.High pinion. More importantly the decrease in strength of the R&P set in a low pinion set-up. But... Rob and you are talking about two different kinds of projects. Rob is replacing his toasted axle. He is getting 3.73 gears as a bonus. But everything else is staying the same. You are working on a Jeep with a good sized lift and much larger tires. Different project requiring different needs... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dfreeman616 Posted September 4, 2009 Share Posted September 4, 2009 that LKQ looks even better than the one here, at least with how the ground is packed. The one by my place has some pretty good ruts developing in spots. But I'd recommend them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whowey Posted September 5, 2009 Share Posted September 5, 2009 I'm normally a little slow moving on the weekends. Me getting much of anywhere before 9 or 10 doesn't generally happen(Unless I'm going wheeling). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Automan2164 Posted September 5, 2009 Author Share Posted September 5, 2009 Oh, I figured as much. Well we are all ready to go here on my end. I just have to put the toolbox together, but so far in the ZJ I have: Angle grinder, 2 grinding blades, 5 cutting blades Sawzall, 25 Steel blades, 3 Fire/Rescue specialty blades Electric impact 2 Cans "Free" super penetrant smells like nail polish, works awesome ($10 a can) 2 Cans "PB Blaster" penetrant 2 Cans Brake clean Honda Generator 24 PK water Safety glasses Gloves Flashlight We should be good to go. Don't hurry if your not a morning person. I'll get started without ya, and you can jump in whenever. No hurry. Just as long as I get out with my axles by 6PM. Be nice to get some "extra" goodies at 25% off too. :D Rob L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
