Those bulkhead connections were known for setting cars on fire.

Before I switched to a one-wire alternator, I rerouted my factory alternator direct to the battery using some 4awg cable.

Here is my ongoing (read: never ending) Mopar project. It does not look much different from the day I bought it, but there is almost nothing that has not been replaced or upgraded mechanically. My focus was on having something I could drive and enjoy, with appearance being secondary once the mechanical work is complete.

OK, I can type Chevrolet and it comes up, but if I try to spell C-H-E-V-Y it says can't spell that. That is why my title is all messed up.

What is up with that Mr. administrator?

To get this section going, here is my first ride, the daily driver:

2007 Dakota QC:
4.7L/545RFE Automatic
3.55 gears
OEM 18" Aluminum wheels
Home built Cold Air Intake
True Dual exhaust w/Magnaflow mufflers
Amsoil Dual Remote bypass filter kit
All Amsoil Synthetic fluids
Superchips Flashpaq on 93 octane
RamMat BXT sound mat on interior
Custom painted center stack
Custom gauge pod with Autometer volt and oil pressure
In-dash MP3 6-disc changer (from a 300C)
Bed liner by fellow club members Mike and Kathryn Minchew of Tuff Customs

The performance modifications netted a 34hp and 41ft-lb increase. Most of the increases came from the bolt on mods, but the Superchips did wonders for the response of the transmission and throttle. Even under normal acceleration it holds gears longer and shifts faster. I typically get 20mpg city/hwy combined, but on road trips I have gotten as much as 25mpg depending on the terrain.

The red/black is a nice touch. You should get in touch with club member Ryan Wilke. He has a neat 4 dr that he has done some stuff to.

OK, I have never done this before and I am learning as I go. Everything is torn down except for pressing out the axle bearings. I plan to replace the 2.45 gear set and carrier with 3.55 gears.

Now I need to decide:

Use the NEW 29 spline late model Trac-Loc that I scored for only $50 (OEM Dakota Part)...but will require me to have special axles made....

OR

Use my factory axles from my Dart and purchase a new 27 Spline MP Sure-Grip?

Rick Ehrenberg from Mopar Action did a build up several years ago with the modern 29 spline unit in a Duster, but I personally do not know of anyone that I know has done this, and I am concerned there are some unknowns that I am missing.

Would my factory axles be fine in a non-racing application (255/60 BFG radials, no slicks - mild 360) if I decided to stay with the 27 spline setup?

I am also installing Jeep Grand Cherokee disc brakes, which have a smaller register hole on the rotors. If I order axles I plan to order them with the Jeep register, but I can just grind out the holes if I use them on the factory axles.

Question two: When taking the axle apart, we (Ryan Wilke was helping me) found the pinion shim to be set between the housing and the inner race, NOT between the pinion gear and bearing where Ryan expected to find it. Where is it suppose to be installed on these older axle? Does it matter? and since I am going up (numerically) in gear ration, does this shim thickness need to change?

Question Three: Where should I take the axle housing to get all the new races and axles bearing pressed in? I have heard FT worth gear and axle. Any other suggestions? I do not have any of the tools to make this happen.
