Again, thanks! | | | | Joined: Aug 2023 Posts: 21 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Aug 2023 Posts: 21 | Hi everyone, driving the old Apache around this week led to discovering a brand new noise when I get above 30 or so. Actually it's more of a roaring vibration that gets more intense the faster I go. Come to find my pinion bearing is getting nice and hot, so I could do a bearing swap, or I could use the opportunity to finally get a rear end with a better ratio than the stock end I've got. I'm a bit new to rear end swaps and I'm not really sure which years/models would have the same width and preferably 6-bolt pattern to match my truck. All I know is I'd like to be able to cruise at highway speed. Budget is a bit tight so I may just go ahead and replace bearings for now, but either way would like to start looking around. Any suggestions for what I'm looking for would be appreciated
