P0420 is catalyst efficiency fault. In my experience the o2 sensors won't fix it, the issue is with the cat itself. You can try running these o2 sensor spacers. I've used them on my old Audi that had a catless downpipe. Never threw a fault, and always set rediness monitors. Unless your cat is broken apart and rattling this is a cheap easy fix.

Thanks guys. Appreciate the suggestions.

If you need a new cat, call up the guys at Red Run Exhaust in Ephrata. They are awesome and shockingly inexpensive. Had this issue on my 4R and had them install a new cat and all was good.

My brother in law speaks highly of that place.

Been making good use of the new compressor. Tearing the truck down in preparation to get the driveline out and undo the majesty of the PO's "V8 conversion"

This will take some work...

Not only is the V8 too far forward (hence the horrific dog-leg and canyon in the trans tunnel) the PO was kind enough to weld a plate over the shift collar, which means removing the shifter will not be easy....

More carnage:

I was worried about he rusty exhaust studs, but the impact took care of them without much fuss:

I've got my winter cut out for me!

I have a few transmission covers here, none perfect but all better than what you have!

I made a boost leak tester and tracked down one significant crack in the piping and a few small leaks through the grid heater bolts. see the bubbles by the intake horn below.

Hopefully I will have it all sorted this weekend.

Thanks Gary -

Any that might fit a '75? I know they changed the transmission tunnels quite a few times over the years.

I've never done any welding - so I'm not sure how "bad" my current one would be to patch...

Last time out at AOAA I had the opportunity to be disappointed by my Engo winch yet again.
It would winch in but not out, again.
We were able to freespool it and it did pull my truck, but needs to be 100% before we head to HitR.

Did some web wheeling and bought an Albright solinoid for $100.

Swapping it out.

Chinese junk solinoids

I should do the same to my engo...or just bite the bullet and get an M12000

My Warn has never let me down...ahem.

I want to do that solenoid upgrade as well. Sadly I need to focus on skid plates sooner rather than later as mine are presently as robust as tinfoil. Saturday's adventures on the black trails put the nail in their coffin.

Yeah, that's not a little bit of work right there. Nice job!

returning to the oem setup.

 

[shmukster]

Brian- didn't you like the shackle reversal ride or handling?

 

[brian]

Ride and handling was just fine.
Just wanted oem.

Got the opportunity to work on this fine specimen today. Owner is a long time customer, but I did not get the opportunity to chat him up to see if he would be interested in joining us on the trails.
