I used the cheap rental bolt type compressors on the few I've done on the Taco's but they're dangerous and don't like them. If you took them off and brought them to a shop that had a better compressor you could save yourself a few dollars. Maybe Paul can fit you in if he has something :D
 
I swapped mine at Pepboys for something like $20 a pair, pull your old ones off and bring them along with the new ones.

I got another impact that took the bearing caps off with no problems. I am pretty sure that I have it narrowed down to the outer pinion bearing.

QUESTION: Is the outer pinion bearing (the one closest to the flange) supposed to float freely? It sits between the spacer and the seal but it doesn't have a race around it and it seems like it is useless.

I will get a hold of you "Doable". Sorry but I don't really know anyone's name. I just need to press out the pinion seal and maybe use a vise to set everything back up. My parts should be hear tomorrow afternoon.
 
I was able to change my outer pinion bearing and seal today. The noise has almost gone away but you can still hear it a little at higher speeds. I don't know what else it can be but its definitely getting better.

Its just me but when I'm in there I just assume change it all because I rather do it once. You can get a full install kit with all the bearings for a decent price. Glad to hear its getting better. Did you check your axle bearings to see if there was any play in them while you had it out?
 
So far everything is new except for the carrier bearings. The wife doesn't like me to spend money so I end up doing everything these even more expensive way (one at a time).

If I hear anything else coming from the rear end I am just going to assume that its a bad setup. Right now I am just getting a little noise on float but it's hardly noticeable. Everything else sounds fine.

Go with two switches the man in front of you might give you the :flipoff2: Go with a 25 or 30 amp fuse, all you need is one fuse for all four lights:beer:

Use any switch and put a relay in the circuit. Then I would hook a amp meter up to see what the lights are pulling. Put a breaker in series with the lights that is a maybe 1.5 times the draw you saw. That way you will always have plenty of power for your lights but will kick in the event of a short.
 
yea i got an extra kc harness just im rnning 4 hids but i got it , all 6 0n in retarded brite! omy f-n gosh brite! makes reg kc day lighters loook like match sticks!
 
I need some help

I have a 66 FJ40 and a while back I installed a weber carb on it because the original carb was beyond repair. The weber 32/36 seems to work great when it comes to starting, idling and slow acceleration but when it is under heavy acceleration its a whole different beast. Heres my problem, when I try to accelerate quickly and I mean pedal to the floor as quickly as possible the engine will almost die like it is either getting to much fuel or not enough. I did notice today that my electric choke is fully open all of the time and if I would hold the choke about half way closed and then accelerate quickly the engine seemed accelerate much smoother and didnt quite act like it wanted to die. I live in lafayette and if anyone lives in the city and is familiar with carburetors I beg you please help me out. I have a hard time explaing the problem so it would be easier for someone to actually hear it. I think I possibly may have to re=jet the carb but I am really just guessing at this point.

Thanks in advance

It sounds like a jet issue which has been known to be an issue on some webers. Shipped with the wrong jets. Paul tracked down some good info a short time ago on them while running into the same issue. I'm sure you checked but do you have good fuel pressure from the fuel pump? Old factory mechanical pump could have a leaking diaphragm. I think I still have one off my 67 if you need it. We have our monthly meeting at Buffalo Wild Wings this Sunday 1 - 3 p.m. it would be a good time to come out and say hello. If I'm able I'd be happy to take a ride over and look at it for you.


Some good info.

yep that.s what it sounds like
 
I have not actualy checked my fuel pressure but I dont think that my fuel pump is at fault because I have one of those cheap fuel filters where you can see the amount of gas in it and the gas never really goes down in it.
