  Clutch disc not centered under pressure plate

  By 69SuperBee451

  Just finished a stick swap on my 69 two weeks ago. I’ve been having an issue with mild clutch chatter. Running a new Ram 10.95” 3-finger plate and disc. I pulled the trans to verify no foreign substances on the machined surfaces or disc, and to measure the installed lever height, and observed the disc is not centered under the pressure plate. I even installed another 10.95” clutch disc and ended up with the same result. Two different alignment tools net the same result with both discs. Is... Read more

  Mr. Wayne

  By Nothinghead

  This is Mr. Wayne, 2017 LX570, meant to replace Bruce, our 2005 GX that has been doing off-road duty, winter commuting and pulling Alfred (23’ airstream) around the west. We wanted something just a bit bigger for towing and for hauling the growing family. I‘ll miss the GX. It has Bilstein lift and 33’s and feels more nimble and better pick up with a softer ride than the LX (totally subjective). It’s been so great with the lift, skids and hidden winch. It has just over 200,000... Read more

  Build- 1977 FJ40 Swamp Ghost

  By RotDorn

  So it appears that A) I have a major screw loose or B) I’m always up for a good fight C)I really should not be allowed to shop on the interweb or D) All of the above. Back in May of 2022 I purchased “Swamp Ghost” out of South Carolina. Allow me to digress…. Swamp Ghost was sold to me on a rebuilt salvage title clearly marked “fresh water flood” It has 44k original miles and is rust free. I have been collecting and trading firearms for nearly 40 years, the number... Read more

  Radiator hoses

  By Rockycmt

  I am looking to replace my upper and lower hoses. I have 2017 Ram 5.7 Laramine. I just had a thermostat hosing crack. I replaced it and the thermostat to get back on the road. I want to change the hoses. I have historically used rockauto for my parts. I see they have OEM Mopar and a 3rd party called GATES. Anyone use GATES? Is it an = product? Does this community rec any other brands (maybe more cost but better is ok)? Love to hear the thoughts here.

  Less BS about changing tire alignment specs from stock (a.k.a. let's rant about Mopar suspension some more)

  By cudak888

  Yes, this is both a snarky jab at this thread and @gtxrt 's outdated ideas as to what constitutes good alignment specs for a B-body and a mindbarf of my thoughts and experiences about Mopar suspension. In my not-so-humble opinion, I'm hoping this thread might actually help those of us who are new to B-bodies. Granted, I'm not sure how many I'm preaching to - the old car market is completely and totally plucking nuts for young people today and I'm not seeing that many... Read more

  A question for the engineers & drivetrain specialists

  By DrDuc

  If a person wants to lower gear ratios excluding a change to transmission gearing, it could be done in the transfer case, or in the front and rear differentials. Is one way preferable to the other? If so, what makes it the better option? Thanks in advance for educating me.

  The John Denver FJ40

  By sadovnik

  I’ve been back and forth on starting a build thread for this FJ40. So against my better judgment, here it is: my 1975 "John Denver" FJ40 with 97k miles. I’d been hunting for a 40 for a while, but everything in my budget was either a rust bucket, a mechanical nightmare, or both. When this one popped up locally, I had to jump on it. Mustard wasn’t my first choice, but I have to say, it really grew on me once I saw it in person—it’s just such an iconic color for these trucks. There was no rust... Read more
