Woow !!
I didn’t understand anything...
What is a crush sleeve ?
What is a preload ?
I tough that I had just to put the wahser and put 150 ftlb. And go out for a ride ��
pictures or video ?
Hi Guys,
I got my rear driveshaft back ; I'll put it back on monday, I realy hope this will solve the vibrations issues.
I choose to do a combination of two methods. I'll lower 0.5 inch my t-case and made my driveshaft a little longer... Let's cross the fingers now.
I had to remove the yoke...
Thank you for the video !
I'll have a look on mine because i'm not sure that I have the small plastics stuts like his on the side.
But it look the right way.
He is not showing which type of u - joint he uses to replace the orignal ones. With metal clips on the cup or same design as the one he...
Hi,
Thanks to both of you !
Indeed and unfortunatly we don't have real driveshafts shops here.
The shop where I brought this is a shop for semi trucks , but he told me also that he had to balance it. So I guess he will do it like it has to be done.
He told me that the front u-joint (one the...
Hi all,
I brought my rear driveshaft to a guy whi will extend it.
He told me that the u joint at the t case side ; is not replacable nor removeable.
It’s like « metled » does anybody has seen this already on a m1009 ????
Because making the driveshaft longer, doesn't reduce the angles. It does but it's minimal.
Lower the T-case 1 inch and it reduces the angles for 3-4 degrees.
Again,
Thanks a lot !
My back block are "angled" already. With this I mean that they aren't flat and horizontal they do what a degree shim would do on a flat one.
I'm also thinking about a kind of mix solution. Lower the t-case about half an inch and leghten a litlle my standard driveshaft...
I didn't drive a lot with the truck since I did the lift kit because of all the previous problems and issues told before.
But yet, I didn't feel a huge difference in comfort.
Altough a lot of people complain about pro comp...
My biggest problems are : "vibrations and drive shaft lenght " and...
Hi,
Thank you for the information !
I'm glad to see that you guys still read my stuff :)
Since the last post I did some research and tests.
I lowered the t-case about 1 inch and could see that it reduces the angles at the rear shaft. It also brought the slip yoke a little more forwards ...
Hi everybody,
I have maybe found a way to determine my new driveshaft lenght.
I found a guy who owns the same truck (same year and also military version) but without lift kit and on his orinal tires.
I've measured how much the slip yoke is out the t-case one his truck and on mine and...
What about lower my t-case ?
Appears not expensive and easy to do ; will it solve all my probelms ?
Otherwise if somebody know how I can calculate the new needed length of that **** driveshaft ...
Eeeuh,
No, I was just thinking and trying to imagine but I've never seen it...
That means that the middle part "the long tube" is replaced by a longer one ? I though there was a way to keep it and make the existing one longer.
But Ok, I think understood the method.
I asked a quote to the shops...
Hi Bighorn,
Thanks again for your intervention !
I don't doubt that I will be able to find somebody in the US who can make that job perfectly and send it here.
But as always, it's all about money. I can't spend like 500 USD for the shaft, an extra 250 USD for transport it to here and on top of...
OMG everything would be so much easier if I was dealing with a compagnyvlike that one...
In my case they don't have any idea about our yokes or t case. They are mostly building driveshafts for agricultural machinery. They can help because they have to equipment to cut, to weld and to balance...
Unfortunatly,
They work only on plans. I can't go there with the car and show them.
They expect that I give them all specifications and they realise what I want...
The thing is, I don't have any idea about to measure this and how to give them the good length...
I was thinking , One way to get...
