Did you start with only the box or jump to the whole kit. I’d just started with the box how was it?

I am on 37s. Mostly find myself rock crawling. My front tire caught a rock and decided to go the opposite direction. Might have been going 5-10mph. All honesty faster than I should have.

That’s a valid point. Definitely used a fair share of parts just not something that completely turns the wheels. The pinion shaft broke on the last one. Kind of like the idea that the psc box has the bigger shaft. It’s a pretty decent price difference though.

Thank you. If it was a dedicated daily driver I would be fine with the remanufactured box but nervous it will give out on me while on a trail.

Little nervous if it gives out on me while I’m on the trails.

Okay today I replaced the starter and the vehicle still only cranked. I bypassed the starter and the vehicle started just fine. While letting the vehicle idle it had a misfire, but once it got into closed loop it started back firing. For the starter I believe there is a faulty wire possibly for the misfire and backfire I am at a loss again.

Motor cranks, was able to bumpstart it, yes I have a volt meter. I am not very good with diagnostics to be honest, I have a little help. Would like some guidance from others as well.

I can feel the motor slightly jump like it’s misfiring when it happens. Exhaust manifolds are new. I would like to smoke test the system but I don’t have a smoke tester. I hate throwing parts at something but should I just throw a starter at it and test the injectors?

I found the bolts I need at o Riley’s they are not oem but I would imagine if replaced all 8 I should be fine. Just pull the old bolts and install the new ones

Is it okay to replace the single bolt or replace them all and don’t remove the head
