I've got the original rear but it's in rough shape. I saw HBW had a front tray but I was gonna try and find a cheaper temporary alternative before I go spending $150+ on a used OEM replacement. At the moment the front tray would be useless until I replace that inner fender, the current one...

Borrowing a seal driver set today/tomorrow to drive some seals into the transfercase and put it back together. Bearings are in. Replaced all 120 needle bearings on the driven shaft, wasn't too bad. Plan is to get the truck back together and drive her outta there within a month. Some stuff came...

Yeah man I'm really happy I took the time to get it right, I'm super proud to share how the case turned out after like 4 hours of scrubbing with brillo pads and some dawn. Willow is definitely my little helper out on the tailgate. Just gotta remind her sometimes that brake clean will never...

Photos of the case broken down and what I found on the magnet. Photos after cleaning the case a couple days before (before teardown): Before: After: And yes my fiancé convinced me we needed a new puppy. That's Willow. She likes to help. 4 month old dutch shepherd.

It's been a while since an update. Planning a wedding, exhausting work. I got the transfercase to my house, it sat on my back deck for about a month or so (I coated the shafts with some grease so they wouldn't rust). Got the money together for some specialty tools and a rebuild kit for the...

I'm in! Thanks Hawker for the chance

When I removed these bolts where the tcase bolts up to the trans, the seam between the trans and tcase dumped like a quarter to half a quart of ATF down my arm : It wasn't coming from the bolt holes, when I loosened the bolts the tcase and trans separated and dumped ATF out of the seam. Maybe...

Been a bit since I posted. I got that transmission jack from harbor freight bout a month ago and got the transfer case off today myself. I ended up bench pressing the transfer case cause it wasn't on the trans jack completely correct, live and learn. Next step is getting a little fold up...

Appreciate the insight. I don't believe the transmission itself is leaking, but I do worry the transfer case is cracked somewhere. Going to pull the transfer case in the next few days and inspect it before I order a kit to refresh the seals and bearings. Maybe I'll get lucky and she just needs...

I may have just had an epiphany thinking about what I found during the cleanup. I found a plastic baggie with copper washers that came with the injectors. If the injectors aren't seated properly, that might be a MASSIVE issue causing the problems I'm seeing..... I'm going to have to take off the...

Some progress made over the weekend. 1. Smoking/motor/IP issue: I got a siphon and sucked some diesel out of the fuel tank (about 2 gallons), it didn't look cloudy. The fuel looked good. I set some in a powerade bottle on my toolbox to settle for a day see if I get any separation. I'm pretty...

I mean it is good to check. I will see if the IP rebuild shop also does injector pop testing see if they can tell me if they're good.

Can do. Will pick up a new siphon when I get home and try that out. Here's the evil rat: My desk chair is a lost cause, it's been broken for years though so I don't really care. He loves chaos.

There's a possibility. I was going to siphon out some fuel from the tank to see what it looked like last weekend, but my rabbit decided he was going to help himself to some plastic and ate like 5 holes in the siphon. Edit to mention: I say possibility because from spring-fall 2022 the truck sat...

Okay, here are the adjustments and videos. The links go to YouTube videos I posted. 1. Pre-adjustment. IP alignment photo: Looks spot on, maybe a hair toward the driverside. I took this VIDEO while we got her fired up and were keeping throttle on her to keep the motor alive. You can see the...

Got it. Fabbed up a thick 2ga ground I had in the bed of the truck from the old battery wiring. Worked perfect and no more smoking. Amazing. Got her fired up and warmed up. Let her sit and idle for a few minutes then began making IP adjustments. IP adjustments smoothed out my idle by about...

Think I had a eureka moment at work thinking about my ground situation. I don't recall a cable going from negative bus to frame, likely why a jumper cable from starter to frame allowed my GEN1 light and starter to work again - I don't think I had any other ground path from motor to batteries...

Interesting. I had a tattered ground strap here I replaced (cab to intake stud). I replaced it with a 10 or 12ga wire I had in the shop leftover and we screwed it back down. I also have a loose end from the wiring harness there I wrote a "?" For because when I attached it to the intake stud (it...

So the saga continues. I go to the shop and prep for getting the truck to idle and making IP adjustments. Pushed the truck back out of the garage, set up fans to blow the exhaust out so I can let her idle. Fire extinguisher ready. Charge the batteries to 12.7V each. Sit down turn the key, the...

Just found the mother of all tutorials on 6.2 IP timing adjustments... 6.2/6.5 Diesel Stanadyne DB 2 Injection Pump Timing Methods from Tim's teachable moments on youtube. I've gotta go to a wedding this weekend and travel Thursday/Friday. I hope the fiance doesn't get too upset with me if I go...
