Don't forget a new fan too since it will also need to be reverse rotation.

http://www.pirate4x4.com/tech/billavista/PR-ARB/articles/14b_Gear_Setup/ A good article to look at for setup if you need to do it. I'm curious if you pinion has any preload left, or if the other bearings are worn enough that you have 0 preload.

If the pilot bearing is bad I'd say you have a 98% chance your other two pinion bearings are also bad. It is more complex to replace those. Is there any play in your pinion? The only difference in the 14 bolts is the race for one of the pinion bearings was a different size depending on if it...

Pinion should have no play. If it does who knows what it is doing to your gear pattern and will lead to mulching your ring and pinion.

A 14 bolt isn't totally indestructible. I experienced pinion bearing failure on my rig, seems like the pinion seals die, or contamination enters from somewhere else then the fate is sealed. It is nice that the entire pinion assembly unbolts and can be removed so that all the work is done on a...

I'm with everyone else... cordless sawzall or grinder with cutoff wheel. Decent jack, lots of cribbing. Brand new u-bolts. Bottle of Jagermiester, lots of rags and gear oil. And I'd try to remove and replace that broken axle first with the methods allready mentioned.

Impressive! I'd do what everyone else has suggested and source a used NP208C. You can find them in just about any square box Chevy from the 1980's that is sitting in a wrecking yard, or on Craigslist. I have bought a few for under $100. They are all identical in the Chevy applications except...

In the valley of the engine, drivers side, on top of the intake manifold.

82-87 GM square body pickup suburban or blazer with diesel and overdrive (82 was the first year of the 700R4... I think). Not just half tons, they were also used in 3/4 ton applications too. Getting a a bracket and rod at a junkyard isn't easy picking anymore. Expect to pay $100 or more for...

+1 on this. The pump on an NP208 is driven by the rear output shaft. You should be fine to put the transfer case in neutral and flat tow it.

Keep us up to date on how it goes. I always figured the cost of the computer plus the cost of the driveshaft retube and shorten job wasn't worth it to put a 4L80E behind a 6.2. But if you can get the transmission for next to free the cost of the driveshafts and computer would probably be a...

Looks like you scratched up the bushing a bit. Personally I would not worry about it. I would just clean everything up well and press in a new seal with a small amount of RTV. Try sliding the driveshaft back in there without a seal on it. If it goes in a-OK then I would try to judge how...

If you want an automatic with overdrive the 700R4 swap is easiest, and with a few upgrades is nearly impossible to destroy behind a 6.2 turbo or no turbo. Other positives are the overall length requires no driveshaft work. If you search for 700R4 on this forum you will find a ton of info...

I'm out of ideas. Injection pumps are full of urethane and rubber bits that don't last forever, and the advance piston in the bottom is steel moving in an aluminum bore which wears over time. You can often take a look at the top of your pump and see if has been refurbished in its life by one...

Lift pump pressure can affect timing advance. What kind of electric pump did you put In?

Excellent! Learn something new every day. Every other rig I have ever owned had fixed calipers with multiple pistons, so I never had to grease calipers. Just ordered up a tube of the synthetic brake grease.

And to hijack this thread... What grease / antisieze / unicorn fluid do you use on the dovetail and caliper so it can slide? I used aluminum antisieze which has proven to be less than ideal. Seems to get really gummy after a couple years.

Can you describe the way the steering felt again? Was it slow? Did it take more effort than normal? Did it want to return to center? How long has it been since you braked? How fast was the engine going (roughly)? Have you replaced your power steering pump? Have you replaced your...

Another idea to toss out there is to get another 32 spline np208 to harvest parts from. If you search your local craigslist there was one NP 208 for $75 and another for $80.00. Only catch is to make sure you get a 32 spline one instead of the 27 spline version that was behind the TH350 & 700R4...

Seems like price parts vary a lot by region. Where I live there are 73-87 GM's are everywhere. That NP208 would be $80-150. EDIT... That thing should have a 205 right? A 32 spline input 205 would fetch $200-400. The TH400 would be $100-300. The 6.2 engine would be $100-600. Engine value...
