Point 1
Wait you are advocating that because an engineer came up with it that it must be fine?
🍿
Point 2
Everything fails at some point. Difference is with a real axle when it fails the wheel stays on and you get towed home. With a junk axle it ejects the wheel/brake/remaining shaft possibly...
I would guess the pinion clearance is not being checked. I'm guilty just as anyone else for not measuring it. Stick whatever shim that was in there.
But if it's "eating" starters this would be the first thing I look at.
Find a new shop...
Even rebuilding what you have shouldn't cost more then a grand, maybe $1500 if you get a real diff.
A used 10 bolt is practically free because no one wants them and maybe a few hours labor to swap.
You are being swindled by a lot. You should go back and maybe punch them in...
Basically look at everything that has been cut and spliced into. Remove it, reconnect wires to where they were from the factory. Go from there.
If it's cut up really badly I'm sure you can get a harness form someone. I've got a used one laying around for an M1010. There are plenty of rust...
1) remove all that fugly stuff
2) one step at a time
When you take something apart be sure to go through whatever you are touching. Like when you pull a hub off. Wouldn't hurt to replace the ujoints, pack the bearings, replace the ball joints, etc.
Replace every thing that is related to...
Confucius say hard to offer electrical help to tech who not understand basic electricity.
It's like offering help and fundamentals all in one. If you act now you can maybe save your truck!
I doubt a resistor especially the one on a CUCV would fail. They are pretty beefy. I'd guess it all...
I remember the caps being pretty tight like 140 or 160. I think on a stock truck the axle and snubber are in the way but the lan will come off.
Mine leaked again after about 6 or 7 years. 😑
Haha, fair enough.
Sorry man, just calling it. It's like when someone says I like to cook so I'm going to open a restaurant.
Definitely find someone local that can help you if you tackle it yourself. I see a lot of "I service my own generator." That's why I'm onsite collecting Benjamins to...
Dude if you have to ask then it's probably past your pay grade. You are talking about dropping the pan and pulling a crankshaft bearing cap.
I'm all for people wanting to learn how to wrench but your question and lack of self initiated research outside of this question makes me think it's not a...
Yeah man it worked fine in stock form and it's a design that is used by almost every vehicle of that vintage.
If you are installing this to band aid something else wrong like long crank times you have other issues.
Sure I get it if you are putting a turbo on and want to use the FP plate for...
That will change, once you get a lot.ofntje stuff dialed in the truck will become reliable.
I have gone through every system and sure it's expensive and time consuming. But for most of a decade it was basic maintenance and the occasional fail which was usually just something small.
Most of my...
Even when everything works correctly the OEM illumination sucks. Or maybe my eyesight is dimming as I age.
Regardless the CUCV has aftermarket gauges which are super bright. The Burb has LEDs in the factory cluster. Dimmer is on full blast, no need to dim. They are as bright as they should be...
