Do you have a set of factory short arms laying around? Any body?

 

Just so u guys know my buddy donkeypunch is parting out a '95 4 door XJ. It's only missing batt., catalytic converter, ac compressor, & the ps box. Txt or call Nate at 801 eight six four 6638.

 

Yea I have some the stamped type.

 

Ok guys best way to weld spider gears ? Arc mig heat them up first ?

 

The only way I have ever done it is with a mig or flux and just pulled the cover off, blew the spider gears off with some air and burned it in hot hot hot. Might check out a way called"fozzy lock" you only weld 3 or 4 of the teeth on either the side gears or the top and bottom, it allows the axle to rotate a little before it binds up, that is how I have my little beater Jeep and works pretty well, just a thought.welding them is no big deal just turn up the heat, how much you want for the controle arms, the stamped ones

 

You're gonna want to use carb cleaner on the spiders before you weld them. (NOT BRAKE CLEANER, brake cleaner off gases when burned & can be deadly!) U have to get the oil off the metal to get a solid weld...

 

I seen that method on the web was thinking about that I just not sure if that will gold to how much skinny peddle I use lol you can have them free If you want message your address ill put in a box

 

Yea that could go bad real quick lol

 

Haha ya guess I should clarify that it would be wise to blow the carb cleaner out, & let the diff dry before welding!

 

Sweet does that mean I'm not the only one to light a fire in the pumpkin first time I welded gears lol,

 

Is anyone available Mon evening about 530 or 6 to help me put a set of gears in a HPD30??? It will be in a shop and I will have any tool we will need(I believe). I would really appreciate any help I could get. The shop is in Salt Lake. The axle is already stripped and ready for the new gears. Then on another day I will have to do the gear swap on the C8.25 in the rear. Anyway let me know, Please and Thank You

So, I recently had a classic snowball effect on a repair. I had gotten a warranty Durango box on account of the last one leaking. I was going to bleed the system as directed which involved taking the return line off the reservoir. As many have before me, I broke the fitting off the reservoir. No one local seemed to carry this, so I went to the junk yard and found one. Since I had the pump off, I replaced my super old cracked serp belt as well. Got the reservoir on and everything back together and found I was leaking pretty soon. Yay!
I could not tell for sure, but I am pretty sure the leak was between the pump and junk yard reservoir. Serves me right for not bothering with a new o-ring. Now I COULD pull it back off and seal it one way or another...but why do that when I could spend a bunch of money?

While I waited for the parts to come in, the leak got slowly worse. The puddle in the pic is from sitting there for 5 minutes right before I started pulling stuff off.

Got an AGR super pump and super box (tapped for hydro), new reservoir...and o-ring, 4.5" PSC pulley, a cooler, filter, hoses, a shorter belt to comp for the small pulley, and a gallon of red line full synth fluid. She steers purty nice now and doesn't leak. Now it is on to a ram and hoses to add the hydro. Plus there is a spare Durango box in my garage to guarantee I will never need it.

Sounds about right! definitely went the high road and shouldn't have issues (fingers crossed for ya)

Your going to love hydro! has been one of my fav mods!

Can still hook you up on the trail-gear kit if your interested, just text/call Tyler for pricing ect...

 

Two questions any one got a passenger side door hinge just the side that goes on the door ?? Second why would there be sand in a radiator and would that cause any problems for the engine ?
