Heard some noise in the driveline yesterday at cruising speed. Looks like I got a bit of a problem

Yucky. Fortunately parts are easy to come buy for the HF1 t-case

The stake nut was loose so I hammered down on it with my impact and got most of the slack out. I can feel a little bit left so I’m going to order a rear bearing

Nice!

Can't do that with the full-time HF2A/HF2AV so part-time for the win

Ever since I found out that Yankees like @Sweet Water call donuts “whipping s***ties” I have needed to do some

 

[wngrog]

OK. Got the parts in to tear into the Tcase.

Turns out someone has been in this thing before and they did not put the proper shims on the output shaft bearing.

I ordered some from Georg. Should be a pretty easy fix with the proper parts.

Got some other parts I want/need to add. Really miss this thing as my daily driver.

Pulled this ole girl in the shop and am going to work through some things that have needed addressing

PS has had a weird “hitch” in it. Felt like PS then no PS. Rough through the sweep. Not there when the motor is off and front jacked up so I’m guessing the pump.

Ordered an OEM pump only to discover the 91-92 3FE pump is not the same as the 62 pump.

Had to order a new one (non OEM) from City Racer so that is off the table for now. I don’t think I’ll put the old one back in. I’ll just wait 4 days for the proper part.

So I’m going polish the paint and give the interior a good bath.

Dude…. Your parts-fu is sooooo poor.

Just like my installing of a bumper is.
