Awesome build

 

Thanks

 

Ben getting a small vibration lately under light acceleration. Checked my driveshaft and noticed its got a nice crack in it. I ordered a new one from Tattons driveline. I don't have any experience with them but I've heard nothing but good things.

 

Alright. Finally got a chance to work on the jeep a little bit tonight. I got new trans lines to replace the rotted out and hacked up ones that were under this thing. From what I understand the front line coming out of the transmission is supposed to go to the bottem of the radiator and the rear line goes to the top of the radiator. Does anyone know if that's right? because all the searches I've done say that's how they are supposed to run and the lines that used to be on my jeep were opposite. I haven't installed them yet cause I'm trying to figure out what the right way is. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

Here's a pic of the new lines I got from advanced auto parts. Fluid def exits through the front line of the transmission. I started it for a few seconds with the lines disconnected. So my lines are backwards going into the radiator from what everyone says.

 

That is definitely not the pic I tried to post lol. I don't know what is going on but I tried to post the right one again and same thing. Comes up with this pic of my old broken motor mount.

 

Tattons driveshaft got dropped off today and the thing is beefy. I'd post a pic of it but photobucket keeps posting the wrong pic for some reason so until I can figure out why no pics.

 

Here's the new trans lines. Had to delete my photobucket app and reinstall.

 

Here's the tattons shaft fresh out of the UPS box that the delivery driver kicked across the floor of his truck when he was dropping it off. Still have to put the 8.8 flange on but by the looks of it its definitely very nice quality.

 

Nice. If you don't mind me asking, what'd you pay?

 

It was 260 shipped.

 

Had to get a t fitting from home depot to hook up the trans temp sending unit in the trans line.

 

Progress has been slow but finally finished all the trans lines, cooler, temp gauge and drive shaft. I mounted the gauge in the empty spot next to the cluster. I think it looks pretty good there.

 

Here's a pic of the drive shaft installed.

 

Went for a nice ride today and all the vibrations I was getting with the old driveshaft are gone. The trans cooler seems to be working awesome too. The temp range stayed between 125 and 150 degrees. I though it would run a little hotter but that's fine with me. Maybee when the temp outside gets a little hotter it will rise. Its only 50 degrees out.
