Old thread, but related-
My M1123 front differential INPUT s seems to have a good amount of play, about 1/2-3/4” of rotation before hitting resistance (wheels on ground, parking break set). This can make a “clunk” sound occasionally, but it’s small and hard to notice. This is a new one for me...
Would it be reasonable to run it all the time or are you glad you put on the Cepek’s?
I did some scrounging earlier and it looks like a mid 2000s Pathfinder shocks would work, but require the stud to be threaded and mated to an eyehole converter. That or some shocks from a late ‘90s Chevy 1500...
@LouWon - Are you still running it without shocks? How does it handle at speed/corners? Do potholes/uneven roads really upset it?
I'm running a softtop/doors (usually off) M1123 (non-MAK) and 95% of my driving is under 45mph. I would LOVE to soften the ride up a LOT for the sake of the...

This is why I disabled mine and run it manually. I'm used to it now, so it's not a factor. Let me tell you, the first time I tried to turn the wheel and the tab bound everything up, my bowels were nearly loosed.
No judgment as we all have budgets for things, but those P400 heads are THE heads to get for the 6.5. If you have the possibility of Chinesium heads working for $1,100 + the time to install or $2,500 for an upgraded component that you know will work the first time and not necessitate you taking...
