  1. Battery Group 25 Popularity/Choices/Availability?

    Too late...I moved to the dark side where they can actually engineer a vehicle with ESS that only uses a single battery that works.
  2. Rear Dana 44 (JLU) Aftermarket Covers and Heat load!

    My mistake, I was thinking about the bearing on the inboard side of the FAD.
  3. Rear Dana 44 (JLU) Aftermarket Covers and Heat load!

    I know that (duh...else the bearings would burn up) and the inner seals in the front do not fully retain the fluid in the pumpkin either, else the FAD would be dry when you pull the FAD motor and it's not. Filling to the top plug on the cover is overfilled and therefore the levels are always...
  4. Rear Dana 44 (JLU) Aftermarket Covers and Heat load!

    Best sales pitch ever using data and standards that he created in order to sell a diff cover that he created. A solution in search of a problem...
  5. Rear Dana 44 (JLU) Aftermarket Covers and Heat load!

    Not saying it does make sense, but that is what DS shared with me. If you fill to the top hole on the cover (tilted axle or not) it will be overfilled and you will have lube in the axle tubes.
  6. Rear Dana 44 (JLU) Aftermarket Covers and Heat load!

    Not to beat a dead horse, but it only appears wider due to the thickness of the cast iron versus the stamped steel. The cavity itself is not wider on the inside. According to Dana, the upper hole is for inspection (such that it is). First I have heard of a lift kit tilting the axle enough to...
  7. Rear Dana 44 (JLU) Aftermarket Covers and Heat load!

    Color me skeptical they add 0.4QTs+ of capacity, but anything is possible. I have the Ford version of the cover and even with the "pocket" for the label area, it may have added a few ounces at most--certainly not ~12.x ounces...
  8. Rear Dana 44 (JLU) Aftermarket Covers and Heat load!

    The cavity in the DS cover is no deeper or larger than the OEM stamped steel cover. I am sure that it may be possible to fill the axle to 2 QTs, but I had asked DS at one point if the cast cover increases the capacity and was told no, it did not. OEM: Dana Spicer:
  9. Rear Dana 44 (JLU) Aftermarket Covers and Heat load!

    In my experience, higher gear ratios (lower numerically) run cooler than lower gear ratios do--but it can all depend and larger tires "offset" the deeper gearing (which is why it is needed in the first place). I ran a steel cover on the Wrangler because I needed to weld in the bung for the...
  10. Major Oil Leak Already!!!

    OT - but loving that new avatar!
  11. What Grease Are You Using?

    For my Metal Cloak and Dynatrac suspension components, I ran Mystik JT-6 with 3% moly and used a Macnaught K32 gun. I added a Lock and Lube Coupler for the Metal Cloak zerks and a Lock and Lube Needle for the Dynatrac zerks, Buy once and cry once. Grease -...
  12. Accidentally used 5W-20

    Only if he WANTED to install 5W-30. The engine is spec'ed for 0W-20 so...5W-20 (for this exercise) is the same.
  13. Accidentally used 5W-20

    Yep; I hear you and appreciate the suggestion, but the OP is reacting/worrying about nothing. 0W-20 and 5W-20 is indistinguishable in any engine that specifies xW-20 in it as the 3.6L does. There would be nothing to thicken--the number to the right of the "W" is what indicates operating...
  14. Accidentally used 5W-20

    Well (for me), if it was that much of a concern, just dump it. What are we talking about $25 for 5 QTs of oil? But he used 5W-20 in a 3.6L? Much ado about nothing...
  15. Accidentally used 5W-20

    Not so much of a "no" as a totally not needed and complete waste of money. Back in the days of API SG or SH this may have had some merit, but if you using a high quality oil today, it is absolutely not needed. Also, depending on the oil's additive pack, adding 3rd party additives could actually...
  16. What fluids do I need?

    You can also use this versus a hand pump. The transfer case on the Wrangler is easily accessible and this nozzle fits both small and large opening quart bottles--it has an adapter inside that can be removed. https://www.amazon.com/Hopkins-10106B-FloTool-Filler-Refill/dp/B000EH4UXM PS...I...
  17. What fluids do I need?

    Does not matter--Dana has specified 75W-140 for all axles that are in a Wrangler. 3QTs should cover both axles--about 1.3QTs in the front and 1.6QTs in the rear. The transfer case should take about 2QTs of ATF+4.
  18. What fluids do I need?

    Your transfer case requires ATF+4. The specification for ATF+4 states that in order to be labeled ATF+4, it must be a full synthetic so pick any one. For the axles, Dana Spicer specifies 75W-140 in both axles. Stellantis reduced the viscosity to meet CAFE requirements (aka improve MPG). Grab...
