PM'd you.

I just made the swap to an H41 and built an Orion for lower gears, so I'm offering up the original H42 4-speed. $400 OBO — Local pickup only. First year of the 4-speed. 16-spline output for the one-piece TC. Not sure of mileage, but probably around 125K miles on it. Been in a barn for 20+ years...

We’re waiting… pull the trigger?

Understandable. PM me if that changes. I'm close. :)

Interested in the power steering box, if it was undamaged in the wreck. I'm in Portland area, so no shipping needed. Price?

Power steering box available? Interested in price shipped to 97007.

Having just done the oil pan gasket and rear main seal when the transmission was out for a clutch job and transmission/TC replacement, those leaks are pretty easy, technically, to get done if you've got the transmission pulled. Search around here for tips (use OEM gaskets/seals, torque specs...

A little late to the party, but this worked great for me, so I'll share. I used one of the tools shown below to get the shape of the bottom of the transfer case (Orion, but shouldn't matter what it is), then cut a piece of wood to have the same shape and attached it to the top of the...

You're probably done by now, but yes. Leave the nylon pads installed.

Thanks, indeed. I'm beginning the tear-down this weekend. Same H41 and Orion going in before Rubithon in June. These videos helped settle the nerves about the rebuild quite a bit.

Not sure. Kind of watching the weather. Probably going to head up to the east side of Hood off FR44, but might also head up the road toward Olallie/Detroit. Anybody interested, send them my number and have them text me. Looks like Saturday for sure. Probably going to be heading up in the morning...

We're heading up to see if there is any snow left on Saturday, if anybody wants to tag along. Not planning much (anything), but hit me up if anybody wants to go. So far, it's me and my buddy Keith with his FJ Cruiser. Heavy rain and warm temps might kill it this year, but we need a tree, so...

I replaced just the bushings on my 80, and would never do it again. It wasn't that bad, but needed a press for sure, and the Whiteline bushings I used were a big improvement from what I had, but it was a pain the butt. The cheap Rock Auto parts are probably fine for a daily driver. If you're...

Any updates on a Christmas tree run this year?

Just to wrap this up (I hope), got the plugs torqued down on Saturday and the coils went in today. Everything fired up nicely and was smoother and quieter than the engine has seemed in a while. Drove it around town running some errands this afternoon and no pending codes remain. UltraGauge for...
