    Great vid man. This will be my 2nd time doing it. I love the concept that "I wont have to touch the van for years" that we all seem to want so bad to believe LOL.

    Thanks for the tips

      I'm not on the forums. Just here. I have a couple other videos on another channel called WAR offroad. Here's a couple links to those that may be interesting to you. If you browse their video library you will see even more of me offroading and showcasing the van. Thanks!

    I just finished the exact same procedure with the 1/4” plates from Summit. Is it imperative that I shim my transmission mount 1/4” ? Thanks!….I don’t ever, ever want to do this again!✌️✔️

      The trans shim is only necessary if there are clearance issues with the front driveshaft, or if you have a new wobble on acceleration from the minor change in rear driveshaft u-joint angles. If everything feels normal, then generally I'd not be concerned with shimming the trans.

      I am going to check my driveshaft angles to make sure they are in spec with an inclinometer. I feel a vibration. I rebuilt my front, rear differential and NP136 transfer case in addition to new Spicer U-Joints. Vibration could be from anywhere. ✌️

      Ok, I have a vibration of some sort. If I shimmed the engine mounts 1/4”, wouldn’t logically, I need to shim the transmission mount the same? Then, check the New U-Joints from the driveshaft at my rebuilt NP 136 transfer case, driveline angle, then Pinion angle? Right? There’s a U-Joint phasing video on UA-cam from Weber University that is very informative….I’m not trying to hijack your video!…..Just chasing a vibration ✌️

      @@BigZaddy2112 describe your vibration to me. During accel? All the time? High speed cruising? Just idling? If it is a driveline vibe, definitely will be exaggerated during acceleration and at higher speeds. With some good detailed descriptions I may be able to offer some analysis. I chased many different vibes in mine.
