My first Jeep. Bough it new off the lot. It's black under that layer of TX mud.

Same. But it's only because that's all I'd be able to afford on my retirement. It would be a nice van for sure. But just a van down by the river.

37s are so good in a JL. Along with 3.73 axle gears but a Rubicon transfer case. Best Jeep I've ever had. Especially with 4 doors and a hard top.

Wow. You're old. says the guy who is only 10 years behind you...

I keep forgetting this site has ads.

No, the effect of the LSD additive reduces the effectiveness of the TrueTrac. That hasn't changed. It won't hurt the TT. But it doesn't let it do its thing as well.

For a truetrac diff, I usually just run down to the parts store and find the oil that doesn't have the limited slip additive. I'm usually not picky over the brand or even synthetic vs non-synthetic. For a clutch style limited slip I buy whatever is cheapest that has the additive. For all the...

Most of the time it comes down to the tire size being off between what you put in and what it is in reality. 37s are never actually 37" in diameter. A lot of them are actually under 36" in total diameter. So the calculations are off when you plug in the numbers. That's why I suggest finding...

I still have 3.73s with 37s on my diesel. I get into 8th around 65-70 around here. I know with 4.56 you won't have trouble getting into 8th on the freeway, with 37s or 40s. There's a really awesome gear ratio calculator out there you can use to see what you'll run on the road. Put in the ZF...

Keep in mind, this advice is coming from an engineer with OCD. Don't overthink it.

4.56 is fine for 40s, even with a trailer.

In Texas cold weather, not much changes. Because it's not actually cold. In mildly cold weather (where Texas' power grid colapses), I do notice it takes longer from pressing start to cranking. In seriously cold weather, it does take a bit longer still. But not more than a couple of seconds.

To get back to your questions I forgot to answer earlier. On the splines, the RTV has a lot of surface area. The splines are tight but with a layer of RTV, you have a lot of coverage. Also, when you insert the yoke, the tcase shaft splines end up pushing out the excess. And it ends up right...

It should get the job done. I'd wrap it in a paper towel if it's in contact with lug studs, just to help reduce damage on the threads.

Maybe talk about the viscosity of the sunscreen too. 😜
