More on the floor later. What follows is a montage relating to the rebuild and modification of my NP205. This unit already had a 32 spline rear output shaft - not stock. I elected to open it and install a 32 spline front shaft as well. Why? The 32 spline shaft has a larger radius than the...

More on the floor. Pictures do a poor job displaying the results of the perverse handling this truck endured.

I took some pics of the floor before during and after the repairs and sectioning for the civilian seat mounts. I think Uncle Sam's Boys must have been doing some "Dukes of Hazard" renditions out in the desert, judging by the caved in floor and multiple "repairs". I added 1/8" plate under the...

While cleaning up the block - an essential step when preparing to install a transmission- I snapped a few shots. They include the future location of the TV cable bracket and the back of the installed and operational injector pump.

This is the JB Conversions twin stick setup I decided to go with. There are more complex and more expensive kits out there, but this one fit me needs best. I like the simplicity and the fact that everything is stainless steel. The kit functions flawlessly and the instructions are easy to follow...

It has been a while sense I gave an update. The truth of the matter is that I have been so busy working on the truck I have not had time to keep up with the thread. I will write short explanations until I am caught up. If you have questions in the meantime feel free to ask. This first set of...

Asmoday, I am doing the conversion right now. I will do a detailed write-up. In fact I will be covering initial mock-up and build specs this week in my build thread. I will gladly provide pics, part numbers, and experience where possible...

Hey Wayne, I don't suppose you have a picture of you cooler/install and perhaps part numbers?

Gary, You are right, of course, but I should have explained my observation. My sensor ('86 CUCV) is very different than the one that came on the civvy ('83). My sensor is small and appears to screw directly into the block. The civvy one was huge and required a "mounting plate/adapter. That...

We have been trying to decide if the bulge between the mounting holes is necessary. It looks like the one on the HMMWV engine is flat and missing the hole (post 13). I think the glow plug temp sensor hole is necessary for our trucks. There is some variability in the sensor too though. I am open...

PlowBoy, I will post here as things evolve. You can always PM/email me too. I am going to pickup my 700R4 tomorrow. It feels like Christmas. Well, except for the 1K donation to my transmission tech's children's college funds.

Dave, I am glad you asked. If I am ever headed down the road and hit an IED the new cover will deflect the blast and............ No. The reason is so I can weld to it. The NP205, being the heavy mofo it is, can benefit from some extra support. With the twin sticks and lockers, I think a...

You may notice above that the packs are, top to bottom, four, eight, and seven leafs. I opted for six in the end. If you are doing this type of mod do use caution. As demonstrated in the above pictures some packs can be under considerable pressure. I use a C-clamp on either side of the bolt to...

Well, I did not get much done this week, with only 1 day sense the wife is out of town again. I should have probably been doing more on the drive train, but I felt like doing some fabricating instead of working on a greasy old NP205. Besides, I am waiting on a new 32 spline front output shaft...

I have my bracket out for prototyping. Any more thoughts on this? Anyone going to be needing one soon? I am having them do a heavy duty 3/16 NP205 PTO cover as well.

An interesting tidbit I learned recently. The K case does not have to have a "K" cast on it, to have the necessary upgrades. What matters is the dust cover bolts. Are they sheet metal screws (not a K case) or are there 6 large machine screws (K case)? I am told this is the only universal...

The spacer allows you to run the 4X4 tranny without modification. You don't need to install a short shaft and with ORDs new spacer you no long have to trim the old output shaft. This allows you to run bigger CVs up front without the clearance issues of the short shaft. It also allows you...

I was referring to the torque converter control system.

Another CL score. The ammo can is cool but this Tuffy Security Console is more practical and will allow me to store my radios and my PDAs (Personal Defense Accessories) more securely. Best of all I payed about half the price of a new one.

Is that a Tranny? It has been a very busy couple of weeks. I only had 1 day to devote to the Blazer. I did manage to create a little carnage though. The little K case 700r4 is at Aztec Transmissions getting some love. Some love; actually it is receiving a ground up rebuild/refit. It is one...
