Ordered my ford 8.8 for my xj its almost going to be a month how long did you guys that ordered a ford 8.8 from ecgs wait in order to get the rear diff

 

3-4 weeks, based on friends who have ordered

 

Alright just getting anxious wasn't sure if that how long it took to build them

 

Figured out my rear driveline slop.

Didn't have any play when you grabbed it due to the axle side caps being fine, but the pinion side was blown. No bearings inside, mega pitted other parts! $19 later, its all good again.

 

Nice. That was the clunking in my J10 when I bought it

 

Technically OEM here. Any advice on what to do? That stud is welded in (and not well) and not threaded all the way, that's why the t-case drop is rigged in there. One idea I got was to get custom nut strips and feed them inside the frame, but I don't own a welder, yet. How big are the nuts inside the frame, how far could I drill them out to and tap?

PS: I did not weld those in there. I wanted to have them either tap the holes or get the bolts out somehow. The studs are in the holes the factory bolts were in.

 

I forgot what the oe size of the thread pitch on the bolts/studs but I have heard of people drilling and tapping them to 7/16-14 with luck

 

I'll just make half doors of them then lol

 

'99 XJ 4.0L auto

Rapid, irregular tapping from under the Jeep while in gear and stopped. Goes away in Neutral

 

Are you testing us? lol
Classic symptom of an exhaust knock. Torque from engine while in 'D' changes the clearance of components.

 

Lol I'm borrowing my buddy's XJ while I work on my YJ, cause my gf is driving my J10 til we replace the trans in her LJ

 

wow thats a mouthful. Jeeps getting traded everywhere lol.

 

what about when accelerator is pressed in D with foot on brake. Curious about torque convertor bolts

 

That's what I was thinking, but I haven't looked at anything yet. I don't hear it once I apply throttle, but that's because of the exhaust note

 

Will a 2 row radiator that is 1 and 3/4 inches thick fit in my 98 Jeep Cherokee Limted?
