I had to replace the front drive shaft u-joints on the wife's GW last week. All 3 were 1310, replaced with non-greaseables from BJ's. Dana Spicer is what I got.
well looks like i have to have my truck rolling by dec 10 (losing garage space ) . so spent the last 4 days getting the front end rebuilt , setting up the new(used) transfercase.

rebuilt the driveshafts yesterday . started pulling all the parts off the old transfercase . im using the best of both of them . all i need to do is torque down the suspension bolts, install the powersteering box, install transfercase and driveshafts . fingers crossed , i should be mobile come sunday to drive to the new shop!!! can't wait to drive her again !!

this is the week , finally get my j20 back on the road. spent a little time touching up the engine bay and scored some 16inch rims and tires for $100,. anybody have any tips and tricks on swapping out the trans mount on a 727. seems like the left upper bolt is almost impossible to get to unless you remove the cross-member and every bolt to the trans itself. im also looking for a vacuum diagram, there seems to be a few to many lines plugged or missing .
