Only took 6 months. Time to start pricing out a sfa if I can't find a cheap junkyard one that's ready to swap in.
Pulled the front shaft and pinion. Was able to drive 25 miles home from the trails.

Front bounced ever so slightly and boom. I'm running 32s and 3.73s I almost feel if I had 4.10s it wouldn't have cracked because it looks like the pinion tried to walk away from the ring gear. Won't ask what was happening when it went....

My KJ when it was still IFS was tipping the scales at 5500lbs and with a DTT in the front diff I never broke a D30A and my time offroad was more on 3 wheels then 4.

I've been more temped towards the DTT than a locker, but I keep reading of others trying the DTT and going the other way. Does anyone out there have a used DTT for Dana 30A that they no longer want/need? Let me know what you want for it. |
