Police package would be on the build sheet. He prolly meant posi trac 35. Cause you have a dana 35 and an LSD.

Yep. Then take your rear sway mounts off the spring plate, and make bar pin eliminators.

And i dont ever recall having to remove the trac bar to put the spring in.

trac bar mount has to come off to get the double shear on.

well, I'm just saying what he said. and he said he replaced the factory trak-lok with the other thing. I'll find out for sure once I get the paperwork on it. though the LSD in it does great. I have never just spun one tire. I'm still kind of confused as to what he meant by posi-trak 351. though that could just be my dad messing up what he said. Also found out where those rims came from. a Dodge intrepid....Jeep wheels will be back on it soon. he also changed the speedo gear as well. though I don't think he did it right cause it's still off, or he had different sized tires on it before, im not sure. I'll find out soon though.


He is glad that we fixed it up though.

Not the entire mount. Just the lower outside. Trust me, i have a double shear. 4 bolts tie it to the frame. In cherokees the upper part of the trac bar mount also doubles as a base for the motor mount on the drivers side.

At work, the service writer likes to take a ball peen hammer and slam it against the lift to scare you. Make you think the vehicle is coming down. Well as soon as i heard about that, i let him and the manager know that doing that would be very bad for my PTSD. My manager said it wouldnt happen and that was the end of it. Until today.

I was pulling the left front inner fenderwell off of a cobalt, and bam, i heard a gunshot. So i freak out and drop to a crouch, my heart rate went up to like 190 bpm and my adrenaline was pumping. I realized it was the service writer with the ****ing hammer.

I did some breathing exercises, calmed down, but was still flipping out inside, so i went to get another tool.

I come back, and he is making fun of my disorder, even jumbling up the letters on purpose, with a big grin on his face. I snapped.

"Its ****ing called Post Traumatic Stress Disorder mother ****er, next time you want to do that **** to me, i am going to knock you in the ****ing face."

He said, "you better not threaten me, i..."

And then i went for him. My manager jumped in between us and pushed me away. I stormed outside to chill out. Later my manager came out and said that he understood why it happened, but that i shouldn't resort to violence. I apologized to him and didnt see the service writer for the rest of the day.

Still have my job. What are yalls' views on what happened?
Jake, you're totally right man, but dont make the mother ****er a victim. Tell the manager you want to make a formal complaint or you'll take the issue to USERA. ****ing piece of ****....
