Okee doke Desert Rat, I'll go Saturn Surplus. I feel like I'm taking a chance either way but if I go SS, at least I'll only be out $40 (although, since I am calling SS anyway, I might as well get myself a 2 pin slave cable connector so I can use the deuce for battery welding, so it's sort of a...

Totally and 100% possible. They also make new 6 hole budd centres so you don't have to cannabalise a 2.5 tonne unit. These guys should be able to sell you just the centres: http://stazworks.com/rims.html PS I've anglicised my American for easy reading. ;) Bob

Nope - you can spin these chunks and they'll still go the right way, assuming the driveshaft rotation is the same as previous. It's not like, say, flipping a chunk on a ford 9" - they will still drive the same way, because you're also effectively changing the input rotation as well (the two...

Hey D-Rat, Did you get the beefiest pump that Napa has to offer? Does this price ($75) sound like about what you paid? It sounds as though it delivers better pressure than the Saturn Surplus one... But, if your experience is different, I'll go SS. Thanks HEAPS Bob

Hey folks Now, you know what would make this super sweet? If someone could tell me the OD of the tube that exits the stock pump on the tank.... that way I could go source out everything today and then try to get the junk running tonight. I mean, tomorrow's as good as today, but it would be...

Ok guys, The Saturn surplus one is 7PSI but they are not sure of the GPM. It's 36.50 plus shipping. Napa has a 24v "heavy duty" unit that does 20-30 GPM and puts out 10-14 PSI. It goes for $75.59. Still a bit painful on the price, but after all, I only want to have to buy this sucker once...

Spinning the chunk in the 2.5 isn't hard. you need to redrill 4 holes in the chunk for the assymetrical bolt circle (the two most fore and aft are slightly shifted, I want to say to the passenger side?) and then maybe grind out to clear the bull gear.... it's not hard to do. I imagine it's...

So guys, I just called Saturn. They want $325 for just the pump COMPONENT! This is the one that goes inside the whole pump assembly. Ouch! So, you guys are saying that the universal external pump that SS sells puts out good flow? This is for the 3208 (taking FOREVER to do)...

Hey Guys, I dredged up this old post, rather than create a new one. For some unknown reason, my intank is dead, dead, dead. I pulled it out yesterday, nothing going on with it, and I know it's getting voltage. I even used some MIG wire, pushed through the screens on the pump, to move...

...btw this is my hipshot "assessment". ;) I mean, your job will be alot easier if you can swap over the control arm mounts from the stock rears onto the new rears. I'm sure there will be a million other things, but leaf spring swaps are generally not that bad. Factor in the fact that the 5...

It should be pretty straight forward, but you will need custom driveshafts from transfer to axles, and possibly a custom draglink (easy-ish)

That is the stuff! The fuse is good so here's hoping it's some debris! Thanks Ken!!!! Bob

By the way, when I say "died", the pump is receiving voltage but doesn't make the telltale "hum" that means it's running. Thanks Bob

So what's the best option if my intank lift pump dies? Can I rebuild it or is there a common fix, short of buying a new one? Thanks Bob

Hey, There was talk here of an inline pump. Somewhere along the line of me letting my junk sit for a few months, the pump died. Is an inline pump easier or better? Bob

LED's would be the hotness. I too ended up keeping my truck 24v for my swap. In fact I threw some of the last wires onto the engine last night, and I figured that it is just easier to deal with the 24v than try to reëngineer the whole truck just to run cheaper light bulbs, you know? Also...

Wow - interesting perspective about the whistling. I never knew it was because the blades were supersonic! Bob

Don't overlook the value of a local auto electric shop to help with the rebuild. Bob

Umm, Would it work to wire two 12v lights in series? Bob

material work order?
