    Just took a 900$ bath having my d30 rebuilt (custom brackets and a such or I would have swapped a junkyard housing)

    The noise we thought to be pinion bearings, isnt. Shop thinks it is the pump/clutches that are making the grumbling noise. they have offered to swap in a new carrier for free if I bring it to them. I want to go open, as the vari loks are a headache.

    What is needed to swap from a Vari lok carrier to an open carrier? New shafts is all, right? Maybe? I know nothing about WJ stuff,

    New axle shafts, new loaded carrier, swap your ring gear over, bearings too, set the bearing preload etc.
