Wonder if the Slee override had anything to do with its premature demise?

I was just thinking that. I never had any issues with it until i put that override in. Makes you think...

The part they are saying went out is not mechanical...it's the ECU component that controls the AHC. 89290-60041. I can get it for $700 online. Will def need to have that professionally installed though, so looking at just under $1000.

I really am leaning toward the conversion to a traditional suspension, but am really nervous about doing this myself. This is my DD, and I rely on it heavily. Plus, the electrical side of it scares me a bit (disabling all the computer side).

How many 's of a job is a suspension install, assuming no AHC components are involved? I'm thinking I'll just drain it and leave the components bolted on. Maybe sell them, cause all the mechanical parts are still good...it's the ECU that's gone out.

I've never done a T-bar suspension install myself, so Nolen would be a better source of information on that than would I. However, based on my observation of the work you've done on that 40, I would say you should have NO problem doing a suspension conversion. You gotta figure: it's just like anything else on a car. It's put together with nuts and bolts, and if you can do a 40 retoration, you can do a suspension conversion. Provided they're just a remove / replace like in the standard suspension, the rear springs are so easy to replace it's funny. As for the T-bars, that's a little more involved........I'm sure others on MUD have posted procedures, so you might want to search there. Nolen can also be a source of info on that.

2 banana on the install.

I would sell that stuff.

 

[ntsaint]

Thanks....but the 40 was a different animal...swapped the suspension while the body was off!

2 banana on the install.

I would sell that stuff.

I don't even think its a 2 banana job. We switched out mine in less than 1.5 hours. We didn't do the torsion bars though. Seeing what you have ton to the 40 in a few weeks, I feel confident in saying you can change the suspension on the 100....

Just had a thought...doesn't the Slee AHC override 'lock' the system in position? Could i possibly reinstall that (as a short term fix to make it driveable), and lock it when the AHC randomly settled in the right spot?

 

[dnp]

Why would you leave me out? I might be interested as well....

Sorry about that! Just was reading Papalud's and Shush's comments and didn't think about everyone who might be interested.......Sorry. Unintentional.

Guy in Dallas is selling his LX. Said first 10,500 takes it. I thought that was a good deal with a 2" lift, snorkel, cb installed and rear steel bumper. Truck has 176K miles on it....

[ntsaint]

Nope, my buddy was looking at this one when the guy in SC was selling...not a good sign to be back up for sale that soon

Some people are just fickle.

I do agree with that. If the maintenance has been done, I wouldn't think he could have done that much to damage it. Said he bought an 80 and wants to sell this. Said the CVs were rebooted and the bearings repacked. No idea about the TB/WP. Just passing it along....

I'm getting DNP's combo off the green 100, so any other 100 folks ( martin, shush) want the combo I have on order before I cancel it? It's $975 w/ free shipping and is supposed to ship June 14th. If so, gotta let me know before then. Other wise I'm canceling the order.

 

[SHUSH]

Thanks Ron but I'm undecided and ordering the sliders first next week

 

[smm3]

Thanks Ron, but I can't swing that right now.

 

[wngrog]

Time for the sub-group Greg.....

 

[SHUSH]

when ya'll put on your MT sliders did you have to/did you remove the sound damper on the passenger side frame rail?

 

[Papalud]

Yep...

 

[SHUSH]
