I am looking to combine my engine and body fuse blocks into 1. I have the blue sea systems 5032 fuse block which has a split bus for 12+ ignition and 12+ battery. The only issue I am getting caught up on is the separate 12+ ignition and 12+ battery legs that come into the factory fuse block, can...
I have a saginaw 800 series steering gear in my ls fj40. I have been trying to cure a darting steering issue, and not im thinking it's my steering box. With the front end off the ground, steering is smooth in the driver rotation. Turning back towards the passenger side, it isnt smooth at all and...
Yes I filed it a little bit to get it to seat better. Just a little bummed about the QC that let this case slip through the cracks, with the machining issue.
Well after sending them pictures, AA has stated the case is machined fine and the thrust washer will get oil. I will push forward getting the case assembled. Thanks for your input everyone.
Georg,
Yours all look good as in they don't look like the one I received? I just need to know if this is normal. The notch in the case definitely isn't deep enough for the thrust washer detent piece.
Thanks
I finally got my hands on an orion after waiting patiently for a couple months. I started assembly today and I ran into a little head scratcher. It looks to me like there is a machining issue on the thrust washer surface for the idler gear. One side looks good with the notch for the thrust...
Just got my orion yesterday and started assembly this morning. I ran into a little snag when installing the idler gear and thrust washers into the new orion case. It looks like there is an issue with the machine work for the notch that holds the thrust washer on the front side of the case. Can...
Oh I see. So you ran your slip up top. I ended up building a 1-1/4" DOM tube shaft but it is by no means balanced or straight. But it did get me through the con, but I thinking I can build something more high speed worthy. Did you end up trimming the body inside to tuck the tranny/transfer...
Do you have any pics of your front driveshaft at the transfer? I just recently went through this swap, but after a rubicon shakedown test, I realized I need to do something different with my front DS. It would be greatly appreciated!
This is going to be a very cool swap. I have an OM603 and 700r4 ready to go into mine. Waiting until I buy a house, but it will happen! Looking forward to seeing how this works out. I know a guy (not sure if hes on the board) who has a 603 and an NV4500 and was very happy with the set up. Good luck!
The most cost effective I could come across due to availability of parts was mini truck front knuckles/shafts with the entire hub assembly. This worked out pretty well, the only thing you need to consider is steering arms. I went with high steer (my knuckles came with Marlin hy-steer arms) so I...
I haven't had a chance to recheck my clearances on both diffs. I don't want to have to do it twice. Hopefully I'll get a chance to check them over the weekend and give you a call to order the shims.
Thanks by the way!
I am in the process of putting aussies front and rear (1972 fj40 axles) and have run into the same snag on both. I was hoping my spacing would be within tolerance with the original side gear thrust washers, but that isn't the case. To be within tolerance I need 0.080 spacers (qty 4). Where did...
