    Dana 35 -vs- Mopar 8.25" rear diff.

    Now THAT was FAST! Thanks Andy. It looks like I have the 8.25" in our Jeep. I'm basing this on your photos and the shape of the cover. The 8.25" seems to have a little flatter profile at the top and bottom as well as the raised channel along the rim (which was a PITA to clean the RTV out...

    Libby Transmission

    Another automatic here. We went with the Automatic... simply because we could not find a 5-speed V-6 anywhere. Ours is a 2002, so maybe the manuals were just not readily available yet (I have seen them since). But either way, when we decided to buy, there were no manual transmissions in...

    Dead Pedal / left foot rest pics?

    Let us know! I was interested in this too since the dead pedal area provided is a bit too far away and not in a really comfortable usable position. I was hoping to find a usable item at the salvage yard that would look stock and be more useful. Just FYI, the stock dead pedal area is backed...

    Dana 35 -vs- Mopar 8.25" rear diff.

    (Aeh) I hope this is not a seriously freshman question, but is there a way to visually differentiate between the corporate 8.25" rear differential and a Dana 35? Bolt number? Fill plug position? Hieroglyphics etched in the metal as a message to future generations? I've changed the diff...

    Synthetic Oil

    Here's 2¢ more.... I am in Minnesota too. Starting with the third oil-change (to allow proper break-in and ring/bearing seating) I switched over to synthetic oil. Mobil 1 5w/30 in my case. I have run it since then and we have about 38,000 miles on our 2002 Libby now. I change it out at...

    Rear Diff - Draining Plug?

    Threaded drain plug.... I have wondered the same thing about a threaded drain plug. Looked around and couldn't find anything like it. Maybe there's something out there... I just didn't find it. The best I could come up with for why was that I imagine it is NOT a good idea for a 4X4 that is...
