She's sittin at the gate at Jack's at the moment. I have the K30 (well most of it) sitting on my trailer at the moment. I suppose, I should work on it today. I really want to open up the new Dana 60 and check the bearing surfaces, though.
I have a lot of irons in the fire on this one and not a...
I sure thought I would take a little beating for choosing a "weaker" axle for the rear. I was hoping for a scowl or some finger wagging at least.
There goes my Saturday night.
Suppose I'll go back to researching the York 210s. I'm think the OBA would fit nicely where Gen 2 used to be.
I apparently wasn’t satisfied with what I had, so I have started to amass a pile, or two, or three, or …. ok the parts for this project are getting a little out of control.
I found this the day before yesterday on CL (yeah I think the wife is going to put a block on the site in my computer)...
Well I was feeling lazy and while searching CL several nights ago I found this. It is a direct replacement 14 bolt. No need to move the perches or the shock mounts. WoooHooo
Yeah for laziness.
In the meantime the ole copper colored civilian donor lost his legs.
If you look carefully at the last picture you can see my brand spankin new center console.
It has been a little more than a month sense I have written an update. Quite a lot has happened in that time. We have only been able to commit a small portion of time to the Blazer but we are making progress.
I dug here out of the pile early one morning about 2 weeks ago. We had to move...
Trying to forget the temptation to do a 203/205 doubler.
What I really need to do is figure out which 4l80e will be easiest to swap. '99 and up diesel 4X4 I think. Considering the 208.
The 205 I have would need to be machined to accept the request 32 splint input either way; If that were the...
Yeah, your info helps. I want it well mannered and practical. I won't be rock crawling or drag racing in the least. I want reasonable highway manners and good off-road prowess. I am seriously considering the OD tranny swap.
Researching the 4L80E at present.
Trying to forget that I have an...
I appreciate the first hand account. I look forward to a follow up. I too have considered a 1008 +/- on NDTs. I like the concept and think that build shows real ingenuity. Very practical.
My vision for this 1009 in a 6.2 + turbo tuned conservatively. If it blows smoke (within reason), it is...
Cropper,
Who killed JR. Love the reference.
Yes I wish all the superfluous stuff were deleted and only the facts remained. Have to keep it honest though.
Is it your assertion that a moderately tuned 6.2 turbo is doomed to an early demise? I would not find it hard to believe and, in fact...
I cut and pasted your response and added a few words.
I have appreciated your input. If you read my post you will find that I open the door for rebuttal.
The internet is toneless. Make sure you are clear. If your are irritated at my tone, look what I wrote.
Ummmm. yea....... If you want to approach me with a condescending attitude I don't care to deal with you or your someone. sorry man
If you don't allow for human mistakes then I have no time for you. I did in fact mean to type 203.
On another note, if, for some reason, you would like to...
My deuce did that. I think it was an accumulation of all of the different fluids. Non seemed appreciably low after a given trip but all had to be topped off once in a while.
My guess, 30 +/- year old seals doing odd things.
