    Diet plans? How much weight are you guys taking off with the roof?

    Do you have an idea of the curb weight? you or klingon? I need to be able to get it down to "comfortable towing weight" cause I obviously can't keep it together long enough to drive it to and from the trail... :doh:

    that's good to know... thanks. I would have guessed the cage weighed more than that. And if someone would have bought my truck I'd buy a mini truck ;)

    Diet plans? How much weight are you guys taking off with the roof?

    With all of these 60's getting the tops cut out I was wondering how much weight is coming off of them. I'm thinking about keeping my truck if I can cut some serious weight off. I know this is a little skewed cause a lot of you are putting cages back in them... but I know Al your truck looks...

    5.7 Tpi Falls On Face

    Would it be staying in closed loops due to missing sensor, or poor reprogramming? And thus choking the motor? What kind of gas milage do you get?

    stupid t-case rebuild question

    Haha, my wife enjoyed that. No not driving, too much other stuff apart. Here's a bad picture of everything together. No fluid in it yet so I may pull the case back apart to take another look... Everything is seated and that back nut is torqued down. I still think this may be related to the...

    stupid t-case rebuild question

    The spacer was about 1" thick... it's not the longer spacer that hold the place of the PTO gear for us that are not lucky enough for the PTO stuff. After an afternoon of looking at it we kinda wandered to the conclusion that since that gear locates off of the bearing in the doubler setup that...

    stupid t-case rebuild question

    Real close to the case, the damage was caused by a previous bad situation (ie the bolts holding the case to the doubler didn't hold) Too close to the t-case See how the top gear does not mesh quite right with the idler gears Spacer and gear

    Big Predicament need some ideas

    Does it stop powering the truck entirely? or when you hear the racket do you let off? If there's no power to the wheels I'd say to look at the linkage/ shift collar for the low range. Or if you still have power to the rear wheels maybe the shift collar for the front output. 240K still...

    Swapping in a 700R behind my small block

    Too much time on my hands? I'm working 3rd shift which explains the daylight. I'm working 50 hour weeks and taking 13 credit hours driving 80 miles a day... This week no class... feels like I do have all day! The tranny pull took us a record 3 hours! :eek: No joke on time/money problem. I...

    Swapping in a 700R behind my small block

    Here we go. Boss says since we're on vacation for turkey day it's time to get to wrenching! Two and half mornings later I discover that the boss has botty fab skills! We pulled the tranny and t-cases in the gravel with three jacks and a come-along. and dropped the whole unit on a handcart so...

    Longfields

    I still haven't popped one :knock on wood: but I figure if I break a couple I'll start looking to upgrade. But the stockers are fairly cheap and not too hard to change out. Unless you had ARB upstream where the locker would possibly be at risk when the birfs/shafts went. It seems to me that...

    Swapping in a 700R behind my small block

    The motor is too far forward. Version 2.0 was 350 with the Ranger OD that boasted leaving the crossmember in place... we'll if you do that the front of the motor is right around 2" back from the radiator... which makes a narrow electric fan just about the only possibility... but I can't get a...

    Swapping in a 700R behind my small block

    Update We finally got it out and really wheeled it. When to Uwharrie NC for the day and had a blast. Wife took the wheel for most of the hard stuff ("I swear honey, I thought this was the easy part" ;)) after the yelling stopped she admitted to enjoying all of it, expect the smell (leaking ATF...

    Solid Rock and "Roll"

    How'd you get it all the way onto the roof. It looks like it should have laid over on it's side, but the pictures never really do it justice... let's hear the story

    dual t/case behind auto

    How much ATF in the 203? I'm doubling behind a 700r and it leaks like a mofo between the two! Shifters are a piece of cake... check my build thread for pics. Chris
