Tuesday is replace the injection pump day.

Ok, got the drum for my 8274 back, looks great and should put very well. The drum size was reduced from 3 inches to 1.5 inches, we used 1.5 inch solid stock for the retrofit - it won't ever break. The old drum was cut out, surface was machined, jig set up and rewelded.

Over all the drum was lengthened 4 inches as well. We also added 4 inches to the masterpull fairlead.

Here are some pics.

Are you going to wrap wire rope or synthetic around that? It looks a little tight for wire now.
I forget the rule of thumb for drum size but I think it was around 8 times the diameter of the wire rope.


EDIT your running synth:D
 
Yup! Can't wait to try it out - have to put the drain and fill plugs in though, always something to do.
 
I'm thinking of sending my new toyota Ring and pinion in to have cryo treated before they are installed in the front diff, any opinions on this? It would be more of an experiment for me than anything - this whole truck is actually.
 
since it isn't the ring and pinion that dies the painfull death i would pass but the open carrier that breaks so give it a try....
 
I am installing an ARB air locker - so the carrier is gone - it was worn out anyway.
 
ah, i see...
try it
but
why do you need to? have you seen busted teeth on the front gears? i know they wear faster than the rears (common problem on the 81 series)...or do you feel this might make the gears last longer?
 
I feel they might last longer. The gears in this truck were completely worn out, when I drained the oil and looked at it in the sunlight it looked like I had panned for gold and struck it rich - shiny flakes everywhere. Now I know it was a mining diff but still it was worn out.

Time is a bit of a factor now though - so I will probably just install it this week and forget about the cryo.
 
Taking bets - So I bought this injection pump off a guy here, says it was for a 1HZ, I saw pics and figured it was off a 1HZ - but out of a forklift or something like that. It came from a guy who got it up in a mining town so it is industrial. Anyway, I bought this thing a couple of years ago, it is new and looks just like a pump off my truck - but, it is set up to run on the other side of the engine, and there are some other subtle visible differences.

So, I bought it as a gamble at a good price knowing that it might or might not work. I am guessing that it is calibrated differently than my truck - or to deliver different amounts of fuel. I just sent the pump out to a company that rebuilds mine truck pumps every day, the guy is going to check it out and see if it will work, or will need differnt delivery valves or whatever.

Think it will work????
 
Are you done yet?

:wrench::wrench::wrench:

:hillbilly:
 
Waiting on the diff the get set up, installing my winch tomorrow, aux wireharness hopefull as well. Extended shackles next week.

Why - got a run in mind? I found a new local trail!
 
Damn, don't know how you are keeping from it. The pickups are awsome. Mine is just about where I want it - maybe only 25,000 more and I will be there.
 
Oh hell ya, fun putting new stuff in the truck though! Will be ordering up a new R151 tranny and T-case this fall, the H55F won't fit in my truck - so new is the way to go, then add a Safari tuff clutch, new winch motor and solenoid, some new interior bits, Glycol/air intercooler, and a new engine (maybe a rebuild - not sure yet) next year. Oh, and I'll ditch the s*** Ols man emu front coils and get some good ones on it. And maybe a 4 inch dump pipe - and maybe a new front end as mine is kinda rotten.
And, at some point I need some Lightforce lights - I don't drive at night, but why not have them? Maybe take up night hunting.

Fun never stops. Don't tell the wife please.
 
sounds like a good plan ishobie, you need to take a pic of your 79 series and make it your display pic instead ofthat midwheel base troopy looking thing
