I've tried to wiggle it before but it doesn't seem to move. Will check again next time I change the oil. I'm prepared to start saving up for a Tom Woods driveshaft. Went across town to the grocery store and looped around the bridge next to town and briefly got it up to 70 mph. Didn't seem as bad as before but at this point if it was the shocks my tires could be fragged.I actually had no vibrations... it was just a constant grinding very much like bad rear brakes.
Which is wierd.. usually a bad center bearing will cause vibrations.. but they usually also squeal like a stuck pig instead of grind too so idk
But yeah.. factory ford shafts are backordered indefinitely. Not sure what the hold up is.. but it may also affect the aftermarket single piece options. The availability of the single piece shafts has been hit or miss over the past couple years.. I *think* due to the ujoints being brand new.. and their manufacturer not being able to keep up.. something along those lines anyways.
You can actually replace the head unit. The owner of our company just had the head unit swapped out in his Ford Van which was very similar to the XL 4 inch with a Kenwood at a local audio shop. With some adapter he can work all the AC controls and it even has engine gauges and fuel mileage and all sorts that the 4 inch screen didn't. I was super impressed when he brought it up to have us work on it.
You should try with a 285/75r16 under there. That thing is tight haha
Rides like a new truck.
Seems that way.
I was hoping to order a Midland MX225 mini before the round up. Was hoping I could fit it behind the flip down panel under the dash and just mount the mic somewhere easily accessible. There might be a small pew pew mounted right there where you mounted yours haha
Man now I've got something new to save for. Do you know if the make one for the front diff too?Changed the oil in the engine, front differential, and rear differential. Also installed an ARB differential cover on the rear axle.
Here is some pictures of the cover and the inside of the differential. This and FX4 with the factory electronic locker.
The differential comes with a drain plug and a fill plug on the cover. Nice to actually have a drain from the factory instead of having to pull the cover every time.
ARB Cover. It has a fill plug with a dip stick and a drain plug.
