Thanks guys. I found some 3M Adhesive remover spray. Between that and a razor blade looks like it will come off.

I'm taking them to a local radiator shop and having them cleaned, pressure checked and painted. So far great results.

Can you tell if it's a paper/fiber gasket? If that's the case use some CRC electrical contact cleaner. It evaporates away so no residue, but it'll break apart the adhesives and varnish buildup in the gasket allowing it to come off bit by bit...

More than likely an overlooked worn out gear box was the culprit. J

I would tear that case all the way down and run it through the wash, and then inspect everything really well. Obviously, a hardened piece of steel got into the bearing to cause that type of damage. You should see distinct, wear marks, or breakage...

Here are all your questions answered. Most valuable thread there is for transmissions and transfer cases. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/some-h55f-and-split-case-tech.600279/

You may have a bit more noise between the gears unless you swap all the other gears too. By\ut you might not, and I doubt that it will be significant anyway. FWIW, you might try taking a wire cup brush on an angle grinder to that shaft and see...

Just ordered the u-bolt flip kit from @lcwizard. Going to try to hammer it out a bit once I get the kit but a good excuse to upgrade. Thanks all for the help - will keep ya posted!

Do you remember which units from SuperBright that you used for your red and amber tail lights? Curious if they're the same as the ones I linked yesterday.

if you go LED and swap out bulb by bulb, get these for your reverse light. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08311NZV7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 They are so bright, 3600 lumens was the brightest I saw. Literally if you...

Absolutely perfect. Would it be blasphemous to say, maybe even better than OE?

Hi All- I wanted to share a product we are launching in late April or mid-May. It's the 2-Port Lower Thermostat housing for the 60 series that require smog compliance. We will have the item listed at $89.99. The factory casting this part for...

Yessir and Thanks much! If anyone in north Texas is hiring mechanical Engineers, please feel free to send me a message.

All orders from today's date through May 20th may be delayed in shipping.

Finals? If so, good luck!

I'm a big fan of the U-bolt flip kits for staying SUA, stock suspension or not. Put one on when I went OME and it's nice not having to worry about smacking a perch or bunging up a threaded U-bolt end on a rock.

That happened because the ubolt nuts were tightened to the FSM spec — which is only relevant for stock springs and ubolts. When everything is stock, the nut bottoms out at 90 ft-lbs or whatever it is and can’t screw down any farther because...

The red (tail/brake) is a red 1157, so if you want to go LED I would maybe go with this: Bony-eared assfish - Wikipedia - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bony-eared_assfish The amber (turn) is an amber 1156, so that'd be this guy: 1156 LED Bulb -...

Find someone with a vapor hone, that should clean up nicely.
