I went from 3.23 to 3.55. Very noticeable, car is quicker and much more fun to drive around town. I couldn't get past 3rd gear around town with the 3.23s. I have not drove on the parkway yet with the 3.55s but I will never go back to the 3.23s in any case. As far as mileage, Well that's not the...

Ok now your getting somewhere. If you didn't replace the bearings yourself, I would make sure the right bearings were put on in the first place. A good machine shop can tell you what you need and install the bearing on the axles shafts or even if the rear axle tube was modified correctly. If the...

Hamid Sorry you are having to do this again. Maybe before you pull the seal, with the axle out squirt some gear lube on in inside of the tube next to the seal and see if it starts to drip through the OD of the seal. This would at least test the bottom part of the seal against the tube where most...

It couldn't hurt that's why I mentioned it. I commented on your thread with other ideas on wear. Check it - good luck

Sorry to hear its still leaking, Is it only one side or both? Ok on the pc11. You really have to look at the rubber seal. Compare it to a new unused one, see if it is not round anymore. Maybe its wearing in one spot or something is not straight causing it to wear strange on the ID. Another thing...

How did the drive test go? I just finished up mine, no leaks so far... You did have some scoring of the tube shaft where the seal goes. That may be your problem. If it still leaks, Like cranky said smooth it out best you can. Look how I applied sealer inside the tube shaft, it may help...

So I just wanted to followup with some good news. Everything sealed up nice with no leaks. I took a few extra precautions with a small bead up gasket sealer on inside of the shaft tube and on the backing plate gaskets. None on the foam gasket of course. I also put a lot of grease on the rubber...

I pulled these out tonight. the regular puller is for small stuff, I bent it in 2 pulls, so I bought a seal puller from Harbor freight. I had to make brackets to get it to work. Not a big deal worked like a charm. These seals were so old they had the mopar part number on them, fully coated in...

thx - I just never seen this type of seal, I have the usual replacement metal and rubber to replace this one, what I call inner and so does the 68 parts guide book But ,Seems I have seen them called outer seals as it does say outer on it in the pic, strange. Book shows outer as metal and rubber...

I am also having the usual axle leak issues. This is the first time I have ever had the rear axles out and noticed the inner seal as a rubber seal. Just wondering if this original or aftermarket. Still looking for the timken bearings. Any idea where to get just the bearings? I have all the...

So I just wanted to add the RAM clutch kit hooks up nice. Car smokes the 60s in 2nd and gets side ways with ease. @ 2800lbs it takes more pressure than I would have liked for everyday driving, but I don't drive my car everyday so not a show stopper. Seems like it wants to grab a bit faster than...

Not ready to drive yet.... Trans went in yesterday

Yea see they have been outsourcing this stuff for a many years now, there is no QC going on and its made like garbage now. I bought a cheap throwout bearing about 20 years ago. I snapped the Bering collar right off of it. Bought a trans mount for the A833 from summit "pioneer brand" the mount...

Yeah by they way I did check into getting it rebuilt, My machine shop dosent do it and said you can try to get it done but not many people doing that anymore. I will not throw out my hays, I may have to have it rebuilt some day who knows.
