Got some footage of the rear axle accelerating from a stop, does look like it is moving a little. I just don't know if that is a normal amount of axle wrap or not. I feel like this is not my issue based on how little it moved though.
Axle Wrap?
After watching my footage some more I beginning to wonder if my rear suspension for whatever reason is allowing the axle/pinion angle to shift on acceleration causing my shudder and then shifting again on coast/deceleration causing the rumble/clunk noise. I think I'm gonna get some footage with...
I haven't taken the shaft off yet but with the digital angle finder I got today, I was able to get measurements that were within a degree of each other. I did get some video of the acceleration shudder though, you can see the whole powertrain shaking on take off from a dead stop.
Acceleration...
Think I'm gonna buy an actual inclinemeter. I was using an app on my phone (with driveshaft attached) and am not sure I have accurate readings.
Pinion angle - 4.8°
Driveshaft angle - 14.6°
Transfer case - 3.2° (I went off of the flat seal)
Gonna grab a digital angle finder from lowes...
The shop did check the angles and said they were good. I do have adjustable control arms upper and lower from Core 4x4. I'm tempted to take it to a Jeep shop to see what they can do. Interesting enough there was a whine at 60mph and above which is gone now after the rebuild but the clunk is...
Curious if anyone has ever had custom shaft made for the rear of a lifted 1500 regular cab short bed 4x4. Mine has the 5 inch rear lift springs from Zone on it and I have been chasing down a clunking noise since it was lifted. I had a shop diagnose it and they supposedly found that the rear end...
Got my 2022 Classic RCSB lifted recently.
- 6" Zone kit with 5" rear springs and Fox shocks. Originally had the 3" rear springs but it ended up being way nose high with the coilovers.
- Fox Factory Race Series 2.5 DSC Coilovers on the front that I think are giving me 8" of lift, may eventually...
I'll be getting my regular cab lifted at the beginning of May so I could post a picture around then lol. I'm gonna be running 17x9 wheels with 37" tires though.
Here soon I'll be having the Core 4x4 rear control arm and panhard bar set with johnny joints on one end as well as their front upper control arms with the FK rod ends installed with my lift kit. Was wondering if there are any special install instructions I should provide to the shop.
Nope, nothing yet. Kinda just waiting for the Tazer to work on the 2022's. I emailed them about a month ago and I was told their engineer was working on it and to check back in a month or 2.
Gonna be lifting my truck with larger tires in a few months, anyone know of any tire size/speedometer calibrators that work on the 2022 model year 1500 Classics? Z Automotive says their Tazer RAM doesn't currently work with the 2022s. Most of the other brands I see show similar things I think.
