I ordered the Yukon grease and they don't give that stuff away. Almost 50.00 wholesale for 4 oz! The grease they spec out is a aircraft spec grade lube, not sure if that means anything or not. Probably the same stuff as listed above in Permatex copper antisieze. I used to use that stuff on high...
I have a Currie HP 9 inch up front with chrome moly shafts, warn free spin kit with 30 spline outers. I run 35x12.5x15 Mickey Thompson MTZ's, ARB's front and rear, atlas II TC, klune V doubler, 4.56 gears and a new Cummins R2.8 turbo diesel.
I probably would have ordered RCV's but when I checked last week the lead time was 16-20 weeks out and I don't have that much patience. I might want to hit Moab for Easter Jeep Safari and these shafts will be my primary shafts and my current chrome moly's will become spares. I went ahead and...
Yukon wants you to use a copper based anti sieze that is way over priced at over 50.00 for 4 oz. When the U joints cost 350.00 for a pair, I don't want to cheap out and make a mistake, but I am trying to figure out what will work for max life. The other odd part about these U Joints is that they...
I am getting ready to install a pair of Yukon Hardcore Extreme U Joints into some new Chrome Moly axle shafts in my Jeep TJ rock crawler and the U Joints don't have needle bearings, they use a 4140 steel cap that ride on the 4340 chrome moly body. Yukon recommends copper anti sieze for...
I have been selling tires for over 35 years, I am a tire junky! As of right now my favorite tire is the Mickey Thompson Baja Boss A/T, very quiet and awesome traction. I don't know how long they will last because I only use them in the Winter/Fall when I need traction. I am running a 295/70R18...
My recommendation after selling tires for over 35 years is to check different distributors if you have more than one available and see who has the best pricing. Compare the wholesale pricing with online pricing to see if you can be competitive. I live in a rural area with only a couple of tire...
I have a 2017 Duramax L5P with a Banks Derringer that I run on level 6 all the time. I tow a 15k fifth wheel and sometimes have another trailer behind it depending on what I am wanting to do. My 17 has a smaller oil cooler than the OP 2020 and Gale Banks did a comparison of the two several years...
Redline actually recommends this oil for use in the AX15, my goal is trying to prevent 5th gear from self destructing under high torque loads. My other choice would be to use Redline MT90 which is a gl-4 oil. My AX15 currently doesn't have any issues, and I am pretty easy on parts, but diesel...
I am in the process of swapping a Cummins crate engine R2.8 diesel into my 1997 Jeep Wrangler TJ. The AX15 has a torque rating of 300 ft lbs, the little Cummins puts out 310, so it's close, but I want as much protection for the gears in the transmission, especially 5th gear due to the torque and...
