84 Scrambler

Postby **Lud** » Sun Jul 01, 2012 9:54 am

From what I understand if you have a 3.54 or a 4.09 ratio in the rear axle you could run a 3.55 ratio or a 4.10 in the front respectively. A few one hundredths should be fine and wont bind in 4wd.

Turns out the WT D44 rear did have 3.73's after all. And the front has 3.31's. It binds just a "little"

Guess a PO had a R&P failure from the looks of the carrier, a few small dents and nicks shouldn't be that big of a problem, right?

So yesterday DJ, Chrispy and I dove into the Scrambler, found the problems and started making phone calls. Got the gears from TjDave, only to find out LP D30 TJ's use a different pinion than older stuff :evil:

Only problem is by the math I would need 35's!

Ok, anyone have a 3.31 D44 R&P? The carrier in the D44 is on the right side of the split to gear up to match the front. Not the way I want to go but it would match

Go see if you can find the rear that came out of Steve's Scout. It may be that high...If the thing is still at the yard.

Why not just find a D44 with 3.73's for the front and be done with it?

Ok, what D44 is WT CJ width, 5 lug and will bolt into a Scrambler by Friday afternoon?

From looking at this your options are few for a axle swap in the time frame you wanted...

Sounds like I will have Gears/Carrier in hand tomorrow night!

3.73's, open carrier, decent bearings, price is ok.
DJ and I will have a long tuesday night! :twisted:

Chrispy?

Too bad you're not driver drop. A friend called me last night and told me he's parting out his ranger. Early bronco 44 with 4.10's Yukon CroMo shafts with a matching narrowed J truck 60 with discs etc.

Hehe I told him to put his 35's off the yj on the back. He didn't think that was funny. I thought it was a great idea

Will a YJ starter work in the 8? This one drives me nuts, super loud!

Oh yeah, shouldn't the crank pulley be lined up with the accessories? Think the little guy is trying to walk off the crank. Think l may need to tighten the bolt more than hand tight!

Also, how much play can you have in the waterpump shaft?

Postby **79chevy39.5's** » Fri Aug 23, 2013 7:25 am

i would assume that the starter would work, waterpump shaft play? no good

all of the above issues would be solved by a 4.0 ho swap or a 5.3 swap :twisted:

YJ Starter will work but you have to rewire because of the integrates solinoids.

Postby **Lurch** » Fri Aug 23, 2013 7:44 am

Is the water pump leaking? A little play (very little) is normal. If it isn't leaking I'd run it.

Or you could be incredibly lazy and use two solenoids. I may or may not have done that on my mustang when I upgraded to a modern starter.....
