Find some BG44K. I would suspect a high-end repair shop for European autos might carry it. It's the best.

My question is can I lightly run 35's off stock or should I stick with 33's until I attend to my axles, it is NOT my DD and I like big tires and lift, I am planning to do some light to medium wheeling mostly in mud and on the trails.
Depends on your driving style? How hard are you on the throttle? You definitely seem to be going in the right direction.

Good thought. Ours carried it, too. From back since I worked there!! Imagine that.

The OP is in the Middle East though.

Test drove it after that and in a 5 mile ride it "bucked" once. I'm beginning to think its not trans related. I'm going to start a thread so I don't overdo the ? Thread.

Although the trans fluid was brownish when draining now its a nice red/pink color.
You should of changed the filter too

Nah. It's only a screen anyway. Wouldn't affect the level or how much fluid comes out.

If its dirty or clogged it can and will effect the shifting of the trans

Yeah. There may be some MOPAR number for it I'm pretty sure he's mentioned a Chrysler joint in his area previously.

It's nothing but a screen, and not a fine one. Only if your fluid is like mud wuld you need to change it.

No Mopar number that I've ever heard of. But, the dealers tend to use it because it addresses issues like carbon build-up, dirty injector and internal fuel system varnish which all cause issues.

You should be fine. An 8.25 will handle 35's, as will a hp30. Chromoly shafts are always a good idea though.

You posted just fine lol. Most likely is just the belt slipping. Check to make sure it is in good condition with NO cracks, and check the tension on it.
