FYI I'm running the "over/under" gears 8%/44% with 4:10 gears and I feel they are about right with my 35" tires.I'm running 4:10 gears but when I get home from work next time I have 3:73s waiting to go in. Plus I'm thinking about doing the over and under gears for the transfer case which will get me 8% overdrive I think.
Interesting. I knew you ran the over/under gear but couldn't find what gear ratio you were running in your axles. I'm running 34" tire which looks like a 3% difference from the 35" tires. I'll leave the axles alone then and do the transfer case gears first.FYI I'm running the "over/under" gears 8%/44% with 4:10 gears and I feel they are about right with my 35" tires.
You have several good injector shops in Utah have them change your nozzles while you’re out of town and pick them up when you return.I tried to see if I could get injectors before then but the places I checked were at least a week out before shipping.
How do you guys stay motivated on your projects? I've been working a ton this year and haven't had much time to work on the 55. I'm having some electrical issues that I can't seem to get past. I can drive it and do every time I get home but it needs a lot to get to the point I could jump in it and drive more than 10 miles at a time. I got home to a dead battery because when my alternator is left plugged in it drains my battery. I'm pretty sure it's wired correctly. There's only 3 wires including A ground. I guess I'm just venting and realizing I haven't made much progress on it this year except get it home to Moab.
Motivation, inspiration, incentive, threat from the better half, whatever you want to call it is the hardest thing to hang on to. I've done a few of these type projects and know from my past to keep moving forward each day or I'd get involved with another. I tried to do something no matter how small every day in order to keep my mind thinking about it and excited about the next day. I really had to play head games with myself to keep going. No time and cost are two big killers of motivation and why a lot of builds stall.
Try writing down a "to do" list. Think about what's up next and how to complete it. If I don't have a plan for the next day, I'll stumble around in the shop and waste time with not getting anything done.
Small bites!
Now get out there and good luck!
I work on it and drive it most days that I'm home but I'm not home a lot. Driving it is definitely motivational for me. The electrical, not so much. Watching people's projects on here helps.
The 4bt runs well. I got the smoke problem mostly fixed I just need to go back and adjust it again. It's got a good amount of power and once I get a little more sound deadening in it I'll be able to have a conversation in the cab.Was just thinking about you and your 55 the other day @mtnmort - how is that 4BT running? I’ve come across several for sale in the last few weeks.
