LET'S SEE YOUR 3.0 DRIVTRAIN MODS

[PickPocket]

NOT SUSPENTION, LIGHTS, ECT. JUST DRIVETRAIN MODIFICATION, MOTOR, TRAINS, TCASE, DRIVESHAFTS, AND AXLES. Tired of reading about general stuff in the 3.0L 6-Cyl Turbo EcoDiesel Engine & Exhaust

Hardly any of the things you mention are being modified by owners of 3.0L equipped Wranglers.

A very light sprinkling of axles are being modified or swapped out. And I'd bet even fewer have switched up a driveshaft.

IMO there is no tip of the spear on 3.0L drivetrain mods. I guess you'll have to buy a 3.0L, mod it, and then share it here on the forum.....since you're tired of reading about general stuff.

No one is stopping you, be the tip of the spear man.

find buttercup ecodiesel on YouTube. They have upgraded the axle shafts, driveshafts and trussed

I’d love to see that sort of stuff on here, but I don’t think anything has been released yet as far as engine/exhaust mods.

A couple have done axles and other components, lots of lifts and normal stuff like that.

Pickpocket... Before year end you will get a good taste of what you are looking for. Diesel on 60/80’s, Atlas 2-speed, 43’s, etc. parts have been ordered and we are patiently waiting for them. Stay tuned.

i spoke with banks power earlier this week. they were please to inform me that a "tune" will be available come November. For reference, here's the current line up for our EcoDiesel engine that's currently offered for the dodge ram 1500/ Jeep Cherokee.

I did RCVs and a truss, does that count? I was concerned about the front on 38's.

You have two posts, and you're bored with us already?

Welcome to the forum!

I want to do the same thing to mine, but I'm having a hard time figuring out if it is worth doing on the axles under my sport.

It depends on what you’re doing. The EcoDiesel has the D44 up front of on all models, just not with the upgrades. I go rock crawling in on trails so for me it was a must, even with the rubicon.

It’s also worth noting that my ball joints (that connect the knuckles to the axle) are all worn out at 21k miles. Going with Dynatrac rebuildable joints...

Good to know. I wasn't sure if they were different width being a sport. But if they are the same I'll have some work to do. Do people truss the rear too or mainly just the fronts?

I’m not sure about the difference in width.

I’ve seen rear trusses before, but I don’t think it’s needed until some aggressive off roading happens. For example, I’m still on all stock rear axle components on mine. Stock driveshafts as well. Keep in mind, I really take it easy... When I break something in the rear, I’ll replace it with something stronger. I’ll most likely break an axle shaft before I break the axle housing.

I was mainly concerned with breaking The front U-joints when crawling and turning the wheels, as well as that FAD. That FAD is a structural weak spot. That’s why the truss got put on.

Does Atlas have a JL offering now? last I checked they did not, and were not close to having one.

 

[Motoristx]

I’ve been hoping to see a 2lo shift plate, like the one Teraflex made for the JKs. It was very pleasant to have on the trail between obstacles.
