i run airsoft pellets and 50/50 antifreeze mix in the 35s on my SASed Dakota and they balance nicely even with chunks of mud stuck to the rims after a day on the trails. I didn't weigh mine I just put 2 cups of each in when mounting the tires up.

Sweet. I have a buddy with a crew cab Dakota with 1 tons. Running 40's. Good wheeling rigs.

I kept the rear 9.25, 4.7 and NV3500/233 combo and am running a Dana 44 front out of a Cherokee Chief, 4.88s and a grizzly up front, open in the rear for now till I figure out if I'm going to go bigger or not, had a lock right but it was starting to scare people on the sidewalks when it would engage/disengage with a BANG :rofl: . Just brought it out of storage today to DD for a while till I can fix the trans in my PW. $$$ is a little short right now so I'm doing what I can as I can.

Understand that. What happened to your tranny? Mine acts funny sometimes but still rolling. Hope to get 200,000 before a rebuild. Your Dakota sounds like a slick rig

Had a small weep in the pan when I got it, drove it for six months with no problems and not enough seepage to worry about. Put another small dent in the pan about a month ago, didn't do anything at the time, seepage never got any worse but cruising down the road about 70 MPH rpms flared and I lost drive, still had 1st and 2nd though. Oil is right up but smells burnt and have no reverse/drive/od. Mechanic buddy checked it with his scanner and there were 11 different fault codes and pressures were low. He figures one clutch pack at least and maybe the solenoid pack.
