Ah, okay that's what I figured. After a few minutes of turning it sort of loosed up inside. I buttoned it up with what felt right to me, and I'm confident it's fine at this point. (Save for the small lugs which now have two stripped nuts 😩 )

I'm finishing up a rebuild on my front hub, and I'm at the point of adding the thrust/claw washer then the nuts. I tried spinning the brake disc to check how much resistance there is and to spread the bearing grease about, but now I'm concerned about how much there should be after coming this...

No, I mean surging. It will rev to 2500rpm and let off. And then repeats.

I suspect it has something to do with the alternator, but everytime I get the engine bay wet the engine does a surging rev for quite a while. Is my alternator going bad? Did water get inside of a specific connecting plug?

Have you done a cost analysis of the whole project? I'm curious to know the total cost of the parts minus the tools and external labor. Looks great! Thinking of doing a Troopy this way.

I'm no expert, but it sounds like a shorted ground or other such wire behind your stereo. :meh:

So after my lift, my steering got worse. I'd assumed it was just worn suspension parts and in need of an alignment, but apparently not. I've been trying to diagnose my problem for the past couple of weeks, narrowing it down to TREs or a gearbox rebuild. I took a glance at my gearbox just now...
