Link to their thread?
I giggled.Man, you're in full-on tard mode today, huh?
Huh? Go on, you can put your last words here. No matter to me its just the interwebs in a thread only maybe a dozen people read.
I partially stretched the chain in mine and shredded the synchro/dog teeth on the shafts for the shifter mechanism. First my lack of bumpstops mashed the rear shaft in, which misaligned things, then some mud did the rear seal in and it pissed all the fluid out while I was driving home, at that point the damage was done and it was a matter of time. I'm just glad it blew out on Vernon Street like 3 miles from my apartment instead of on the trails 2 hours away. Made it home under my own power though clunking and grinding and lurching, let it sit for a few weeks and then tossed a new case in in time to hit the trails again.Of course its not the best thing out there, what the hell are you comparing it to? A 203 or a 205?
Bill has one pushing 39s, I had one pushing 35s and DDin damn reliably, and plenty other people kept them when upgrading axles/tires.
Not a comparison to a D30 or D35 by any means.
How many people have broken a planetary set in one?
A fresh chain? (Not some stretched out one)
A case that wasn't from a stretched chain?
Not to mention they're much lighter, and much more compact than other transfer cases.
30s are smaller (7.2" vs 7.563"). They do have the same spline count and approximate shaft diameter though. The real reason 30s survive in the front of an XJ is that the front axle can be weaker unless you're hammering it in reverse uphill, a 30 would blow up very quickly in the rear of one.
pretty much the same here.
I'll admit that I made a bad analogy. I was lucky enough to never own a D35 (in any form).Man, you're in full-on tard mode today, huh?
The Dana 35 ring gear is 7.562, Dana 30 is 7.20.
Dana 35 pinion shaft is 1.41, Dana 30 pinion shaft is 1.375.
Biggest reason they suck so bad in the rear is the little shaft diameter and housing deflection. The Dana 35 TTB center section is actually pretty stout - especially in high-pinion format - and I'm considering that with a Super 35 kit as an option in the next build.
What was your point here?
I went through 3 NP231's behind my AX15 and I'm on doubler housing number 4, and I still can't really talk badly about it.
Doing what? Depending on where you should at least stop down for a late lunch/early dinner.
I know, super annoying. I'm not sure why I talk to him.
Nice! Hopefully we can get a decent turnout.
Can't say I've ever really listened to it much. I can imagine the concerts being kinda... slow?
Yeah, not sure what to expect really... I'm used to industrial/metal concerts.
All day, unfortunately.
