The lift puts the pinion angle incorrectly. It puts the rear U-joints in a bind. The only real solution Superlift has come up with is to change to a 2 piece rear drive shaft with a carrier. No problem with the rear drums at 95xxx miles.

I put them in myself, so all I'm out is my time plus parts. I'll break two rears a year, so $75 or so.

Check your passenger side vanity mirror. That was giving me problems and I fixed it. Worked great for a few years. But the problem has returned. Charging/battery check out OK.

A few weeks ago..

Does anyone have the recall info handy? My hoe has no problems, but my '89 K2500 has the same issues.

I didn't regear after a Superlift kit. Speedo may be off a bit, but I'm not worried if that is all the problems there are. I have bee going thru u-joints on an annual basis.

Wow, I didn't think you guys were still up and running! 95,000 and change and still no problems!

White usually indicates water. I thought stem seals would be blue.

Please post up the make/model of the donor and a few pics of the swap if you can!

40 to 50 hot running, 15 or so hot idle. A little higher cold. 98000 on the clock.

Its fairly common for the hoe's brakes to pulsate (feels like they're trying to lock up) on a cold start, first pedal push. Not too sure why, but it's been discussed here before. Mine has done it since I bought it. That's the only time it happens.

IIRC, there was a recall or TSB on some of these. Thankfully I haven't had problems on the hoe, but the 89 3/4 PU gives me grief every time I use them.

I've run my hoe from Hatteras to Duck 4 to 5 times a year since 1998, and no problems with the X-case or DL. It's not the same as my old 79 Jeep quadra-trac that the hoe replaced. That thing would go anywhere, in anything. I believe there are two big differences that show up in sand...

I've been looking at those, too. What p/n did you come up with? Keep us posted as to any decisions and progress!

Try this: Takes 2 people. From the drivers switch, hold the window button down and have someone slam the door. If it rolls down, could be the motor or a bad connection. If it doesn't work, repeat the process using the rear passenger seat. Sometimes as they get old, the window motors will...
