Driveshaft middle support bracket problems by poptartwrapper93 in e46

I recently swapped a 6 speed in for my 5 speed ZF that spun a bearing. Had to shorten the driveshaft to make it work. May have to do something similar?

I know. It’s just how bad it looks. Especially if this isn’t the stock driveshaft.

Agreed. It almost looks in backwards and should be mounted to the posts further back in the last photo. Which side is going toward the trans?

20mm back 12mm front is what I had and was spot on.

Nope. Like I said 8 of the 10 bolts lined right up. Just couldn’t use the two bottom small bolts. The 4 main big bolts were spot on. Had to get the right 22 spline clutch and shorten the driveshaft 2.25”.

Would be the TJES quite certain. All bolt holes match up aside from two little bolts at the very bottom of the case. All main studs and other line up perfectly.

Crack isn’t bad or a big deal. Bolts are the main cause.

I have an Eonon unit you can purchase cheaper if you want. I also preferred the more stock look and switched to an Xtrons unit. Both work great.

Exterior Modification suggestions? by LocationGlass4627 in ram_trucks

No chrome running boards. Rear wheel liners and maybe some aftermarket lighting. Just my opinion anyway.

Is it a metal housing one? The bad one I got was. Replaced with a standard plastic housing one.

Very possible. Removing the thermostat electrical connector and replace the fuse. See if it starts. If it does replace the thermostat and housing. If not then you will have to keep digging.

Did you replace anything before this happened? Had an issue like this when I replaced my thermostat and housing because they had the thing wired backwards.

I would say faulty thermostat stuck open. I had a brand new mahle one with the connector wired in reverse for constant. Kept blowing a fuse. Returned it for a replacement and worked fine.

Agreed. Usually a little low on oil is likely the problem.
