THe NAC Lots-O-BFG KO2 Thread

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Peanut Butter thread

So I rebuilt the D44a in the 5.9 ZJ, I need to get about another half-turn out of the pinion nut to get the preload right, but the crush sleeve ain't crushing. I've gotten up to around 500 ft-lb on it so far and it's not moving.

Any stupid tricks I might not have thought of?

Use an 8.8.

What was wrong with the 44a?
 
Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Peanut Butter thread

Pretty much everything, but I got all the parts for under $200 (including new clutch plates for rebuilding the trac-lok) and I did the entire thing in an evening.

Except, crush the crush sleeve.

It's back together now and driving as I needed to move it away from the front of my garage, I looked quickly for an 8.8 but didn't find any, and rather than dick around with a bracket kit or build something, I just wanted to get it turned around quick as it's been my DD for the last two months. If I get or borrow a badass enough impact gun it's easy to just pull the driveshaft and go after it a little bit more.

If I didn't already have it sealed up, lubed, and driving I'd probably just put the old sleeve back in.

Honestly it's apart and in dry storage, will take a lot to get it back together. With all parts (forgot I also have an extra rear different to go with it too), I was pretty firm at 500.

I was expecting a zero added to that. $500 is a very fair price.

Check fuel pressure, might be cutting out. I chased issues like that once

Def a fuel issue, mine did the same at nacfest last year, was a clogged filter

Yeah thats what I thought after doing some searching, honestly surprised I haven't had to touch the fuel system up until now. I'll try the filter next.

Still got it if you want it.

Definitely still want to grab that as a spare at some point

Anyone run Baja SS seats here? Do they fit you? Worth a damn? Found one used for 75 bones

I prefer the sound of a wooly mammoth percussion band
