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:
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...
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...
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...
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
real time t-case rebuild question, help please
The gear on the input shaft seems awfully close to the case (pic to come) WTF is supposed to be between the transmission and the t-case? have one spacer that is about 1.5" long. looks like I need another 1/16".
I'd like to get this back in...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
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
I'm running a shortened stock shaft in the rear (No DC) and a retubed stock front drive shaft and I've had so trouble... 3K miles on the road with no vibration or anything
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.
