Rear end destruction
So I blow the guts out of my limited slip and bears from all the metal. So in a nuts shell mass destruction is what I ended up with. Question I have is anyone running a arb air locker in there truck that was my 3rd limited slip that's failed so I am going to go for broke this time. I was told they are the tanks of lockers. I don't really know what to expect. I have this horrible feeling in going to be ripping of air line left and right.I am also getting on board air for locker and air bags anyone options on safe spots I should mount the tank.

I need some advice on turbos
So I have had to work 6 day a week for the past 3 months. So I'm done with that fun. Time to start my winter project. Back ground is I have a 4.0 jeep cherekee. Daddy is use to his s330 and 150 hp injector cummins. So here my question hy35 spool harder smaller hot side 9 instead of 12 but I am building this as a trail/ mud rig. Do I run the hx or hy I'm going to run 8 psi to start then when I get my stroker I'll run 14. I know this isn't cummins but this turbo are off the 24v and I have a hx35 that I toasted I can rebuild. Next question anyone have a hy35 they want to part with

Rear end coming apart
Will i haven't been on for a long time thought i would start with a fun post. So I am see what other have paid to replace there rear ends. Also what brands you have gone with in the rebuild. I have three shop in my area give me a ball park low end was 1800 and high end was 3200. So far i have found pieces of my posi and i had one piece of a shim out of the pinion come out. As far as brand I can get Yukon, Nitro, and one place orders from Randy ring and pinion. Sad is this will be the first thing on this truck in 300k that has been done in my drive way. I have never been into a rear end. So any one in Washington a master rear end installer.

Front End Popping When Turning In 4 Wheel Drive
i just had this same thing ended up have front drive line built for 515 got one twice the tube size and twice the joints. My double u joint part came apart for the 3rd time. This time it was not fixable. But i would take you front out and have a shop check it then if that not it go to the outer u joints. I had to replace mine because under hard turns mine truck would pop and jump because they were binding up.

Advice On Clutches
I have a valair 13 inch Ceramic and kevlar. They say 500hp but i know for sure it will hold way more. I have been mean to mine for the past 3 years. Only thing is if your a clutch rider it isn't good on the kevlar it will burn it up. I am almost 40k on this one and still cant even get it to slip.
