$5 drill bit and $40 reamer doesn't matter much when you don't know how to prpoerly use either one. Drills that large and most any reamer should be used at a much lower speed than what you tried. Also LOTS of lubricant is your best friend,(and, no, I don't mean WD-40).

Been chasing a similar sound in my gladiator (very modified) for 6 months. I hate these types of hunts. I have even put a chassis ear on multiple components. Just can't track it down. Good luck man, hopefully 2 years later you found it. I guess my phone was listening to me cuss the last few months, I haven't searched for how to find a suspension popping sound lol.
@4HIGHGARAGE16 күн бұрын
@@Tinker3504 I never nailed down the exact spot but I believe it was suspension related. Supporting the Jeep I took the spring, shocks, and all four control arms out to inspect and cleaned. Nothing looked out of place. I was sure to clean the spring pockets too. I reinstalled loose let it sit down under its own weight and tightened up all the bolts. Snug tights with some blue lock tight. And it went away. So something was binding and making that pop. But I’ll never know exactly what it was.

Don’t forget to install with nuts and bolts in but loose and don’t tighten until it’s on the ground under its own weight. I’m also in the process now of swapping everything I can from this Jeep to its replacement. I will certainly share if the pop sound followed me.

Good video, I did the RMS in my Comanche when I had the trans out and it was much easier, but still a tough time. I ended up having to take the next 2-3 bearing caps ahead loose to get enough space to get my new block side seal in without damage. Very carefully re-torqued everything and have been leak free the last 2 years! I don't drive it much, but it was much needed. While you're down there, might as well do the oil filter adapter gaskets as well, since that's another leak-prone area of these motors.

I’m not sure if I fully understand your question. But I think you’re asking if along with the dynamat on the ceiling would some foam insulation between the dynamat and the headliner board fit too. And I think thin foam would fit too. The headliner board sits against the brace so you have the thickness of the brace to work with. Because of this You would not be able to put foam over the brace. You’d have to work around that. Hope that answers your question.
