    700R4 Driveshafts

    I provided very detailed info regarding the TV cable. This was a factory set-up, the transmission came attached to an engine. The adapter was longer than the one in the M1008

    Alternator belts squeeling

    I used the gatorback belts and it did cure the issue.

    700R4 Driveshafts

    Did yours have an adapter between the transmission and the transfercase that was longer, like three inches longer? I'm trying to figure out what caused mine to fail after it was working for 40 miles.

    700R4 Driveshafts

    A quick Q. Do the CUCV driveshafts work well with the longer 700R4 transmission? Reason I ask, My "new" transmission was going down the road, then it wasn't. No idea what went out. Ordered a new Mad Dog Level 3 transmission as this has already been a 2 week ordeal.

    What do you mean by "Control system"? No wires, just the two linkages.

    700R4 Boondoggle

    I've a 700r4 in my truck. Thought I'd make a run down of it all. It came from a diesel, so: TV cable and bracket were there. Torque converter was right. Fly wheel was on donor engine. (You need the one for the 700R4). They look the same, they are not, the bolt holes to the torque converter...

    starting issues

    Batteries, Battery cables, Battery clamps, grounds and connections at the buss bars. I really like to replace the cables w/ a heavier gauge, and use crimp on lugs that I also solder. I also buy the military battery clamps sold on the eebbaayy. I also use new star washers at the buss bars and...

    Electric fuel pump question

    Perhaps he is thinking of fuel being pushed into the crankcase if the diaphragm ruptures.

    Went and bought a turbo, why???

    Well, all told I have $150.00 into it. The turbo was $50.00, but I wanted the block and all the rest as well. A half tank of fuel and a day invested in the driving. I don't plan on using the block. I have a couple others from military vehicles that are not worn out.

    Went and bought a turbo, why???

    Not sure that I'll ever even use it, but... To good to pass up. Complete off a 6.5L missing only an exhaust V clamp and flange? (not sure I got the names right). Rotor is nice and smooth, no play. Included the shorty injectors and lines. No inj. pump however. Like I said, just to good to...

    Nice scare on the freeway...now what happened?

    If I were running my 08 on highways like that, I'd be looking into some sort of overdrive. Sounds like you could use a fourth gear and different axle gearing. I generally keep mine at 55 and let people pass me. I can see on true interstate highways where that might not work so well.

    Nice scare on the freeway...now what happened?

    Spend good money on your oil. Put in a coolant gauge. Check those hoses and belts and the radiator. Mine would do it, but, I didn't run extended lengths of time very often. And, I had 3:08 gears in mine.

    How to Mount Civilian Batteries

    They need to sit on something. The little tabs in the trays can rub through and drain a cell. Had it happen. I built a tray out of pine scrap I had on hand. Each is in a tray,then in the pine, and strapped down.

    transfer drain plug leak

    I don't know of an answer than does not involve draining it. Some pipe dope or teflon tape, or if it isn't pipe thread, a new washer.

    putting a tach on a 6.2

    I'll be trying an Autogauge 2" diesel tach soon. It has one hook-up for the alternator and the choice of 4, 6, or 8 cylinders. It also has a means of adjustment, but I haven't figured it out yet as the directions consisted of a couple very basic drawings. Only the best in cheapo...
