I just rebuilt my 4 speed tcase, and now it does not shift into 4lo. It shifts smooth into neutral and back into 4hi.
I tried putting the trans into neutral and rocking the truck back and fourth. No joy.
Part 2: If I have to pull it out and crack it open again, what am I looking for...

Thanks.
I have the opposite angle from most drag links I have seen.
Is this right? Did I create some sort of weird bump-steer situation?
The truck is a little squirrley on the street, nothing major, just different from the old steering.
edit: Tracks fine, but I have to correct the steering more...
Transfer Case Leak, SM465 & 4Speed LC transfer
My transfer case leaks like there is a hole in it, all over the $%#$ driveway.
It leaks from the parking drum.
Last week I pulled it all apart to replace the rear seal. I forgot to drain the tcase. When I pulled the drum off like 3 qts of...
I want to buy some 4" lift springs. There is a guy selling some, but the springs have no identifying marks, i.e. manufacturer/model # or anything. I there a way to tell the lift based upon...?
Eye to eye measurement/lift arch measurement??
Thanks
After putting in my SM465 swap, I can't get the stock heater back in. It was kinda crap anyway, and the blower motor broke a few months before I started the swap anyway.
Bought the heater kit from JC Whitney $199 and free shipping :sweet.

Overheats, like big time, once it hits operating temp, the needle just flies to 250 degrees (highest temp on gauge), it is boiling in the overfill tank.

Already? I only signed up a year ago.
I bought this 1979 at the end of 2004, my wife thought I was totally nuts. I had just changed job and my new job was only 6 miles away. I had always wanted an FJ40, my buddy tried to talk me into a Jeep TJ, but I said, "No way, too reliable for me...!"...
Little background:
305 TPI swap, stock harness out of the camero, MT, external fuel pump.
Have spark, fuel pressure and FI noids flash when trying to start. Next, I am going to remove the injectors and clean (should have done in the first place).
Anything, I am missing? Dist was 180...
Working thru the last few issues on my TPI swap.
For those running TPI what did you do with the heater return hose? The camaro has it run straight to a port on the radiator.
So, I'm getting ready to do my engine swap with MPFI fuel injection. I have a carbed 350 currently and have a vapor lock issue I have never been able to eliminate. I am worried about fuel delivery for the new motor, 45PSI.
In the latest issue of 4x4 Builder magazine, they feature a...
Ok, gonna beat a dead horse. Just got me some firestein motor mounts. (Thanks, Leaping Deer aka Jason)
I have looked on partsamerica.com, does anyone know where to get the Chevy part that goes to the engine, or is this a part to get at your favorite pick'n'pull?

I just got this 8274 winch, the previous owner said he had one on the truck but sold the winch cause he never used it. I am looking at the winch and the bumper and I do not see how he mounted it. Do I need a new bumper?
I have an STC softop and was going to get some soft doors this year, but STC went out of business. So I called Bestop to see if thier doors will fit with my STC top:
Me: "I was wondering if your 2 piece soft doors for the Toyota FJ-40 will work with my other brand (you can guess which one)...
I just scored some good used Bestop trailmax seats and seat rails.
The mounts on the seat are 14" apart and the mounts on the stock seats are 15" apart. I have a '79 which is more like a mini-truck than older cruiser. Anyone have some tricks to get these seats in the cruiser?
First pic...
Got up the other day and it was our first coldsnap here in CO. Got below zero overnight. Fired up the cruiser and it was running terrible, sputtering, blowing black smoke, hesitating, the works. Got it home and had my wife take me to the bus stop. That night I went and filled it with gas and...
Its times like this when I question my choice of a 30 year old vehicle as a daily driver.
Winter/cold, icy windshield and my heater motor quits...:doh:

Over the past weekend finally installed the rear disk brake conversion.
Well, I didn't really know how to take out the axle shafts so I just started taking stuff apart and when I rotated the carrier assy the spiders fell out.
Finally got them back together and the axle shafts in but...
Ok, the puddle in my driveway has been growing everyday. The culprit:
Speedo cable, tcase gear oil.
I have tightened it, but it seems to be leaking around the cable itself. What parts do I order?
Thanks
