Shrugs Not Drugs posted:The engine ran well enough in the van to get Sims to the truck. Rest of the powertrain is big dumb tractor parts, a not insignificant amount of it is brand new iron that Sims has been stockpiling through the planning phase, also did you loving see what 14" and the Jeep did to get to Nebraska? It's got actual oil of some form coming out of the input shaft seal, so itll need a re seal Id wager. Didnt start leaking until I removed the mud seal. Dex 2? Hahahahaha good luck finding whale oil friction modifier. Will be getting full driveshaft to Napa for a quote on new ?U joints ffront to rear. I have proven my skills. Package will be delivered intact to Florida. First few days have been slow going as my body recuperated from what I demanded of it to get here. But the terrible power of this fully operational battle station is being brought online. Valentine is just far too remote of a location for an adequate demonstration.] Commander, you may fire when ready.

That Jimmy really was a fantastic truck. So much fun to drive. So holy poo poo, went to bed at like 10:30pm last night, woke up a 2:30pm today. Guess that's what happens when you get like 6 hours of combined sleep over the last 2 days. Feels good to back home, but I do wish I could get more time off soon, wanna get back to the truck already!

Also it's kinda nice having people appreciate your junk. Like, I like all the cars I've acquired, it's just nice to have other people think they're cool too. There's not much of a story though. I've basically just been buying them as they become available from people or auctions over the past like 15 years.

Assuming it is a fullfloat axle like he said (there are some weird old loving axles that are semifloat but have the hub flange bolted onto the shaft, which is retarded) you simply: - unbolt axleshafts (no need to remove wheels or lift truck) - may have to remove conical split shims around the axleshaft retention studs if they're nut+studded in instead of bolts, toyota loves doing this on auto 4x4 front hubs and some fullfloaters are this way too - remove axleshafts - remove third member (center section held in with a million nuts on studs) I was gonna say just drain the oil like a normal person and fill it like a normal person, but preparing a truck that could claim social security for a 2000 mile trip? Yeah, wise to pull the third member and double check it's not a ball of rust anywhere above where the oil reached it while it sat for a few decades. When you put it back together just RTV or gasket it (... RTV, gently caress finding a gasket for that thing) and snug the third member nuts down in a giant star pattern sorta, put the shafts back in, and fill it with GL5. I'd assume "fill it till it comes out the fill hole at you" but I don't know that axle very well so double check with the old chevy truck dudes. e: yes that is a fullfloat axle for sure, went back in the thread. Just pop the 5 bolts holding the axleshaft in and it should slide right out. There may be a paper gasket or RTV sticking it to the hub but that's about it. So feel free to give it a good whack with the mallet if it won't pop out, but don't go insane on it assuming there's a hogring on the splined end to retain it, it should slide right out once you break the rust/rtv/gasket bond. Similarly, getting the third member to come loose from the banjo axle housing once you have removed the bazillionty nuts retaining it can be a bitch, if necessary feel free to use chisels or screwdrivers between the third and the banjo housing to persuade it but try not to crack the cast iron third member flange in the process (that sucks...) and avoid damaging the stud threads because I don't know if they are replaceable. Also, that third member is a two speed right? It probably weighs a loving ton, like 100-150lbs, expect that and don't break half your ribs with it when it comes loose. Might want to check the internals of the two speed mechanism as well (if it doesn't involve digging too deep, in which case just make sure it spins nice and is in high gear.) kastein fucked around with this message at 01:08 on Nov 6, 2016 |

I wonder if theres a law that exhaust has to exit behind the driver's compartment? If not, i vote for just enough exhaust pipe to exit the sides of the engine compartment.

So finally git my tools back from Greyhound. They were supposed to call me, but didnt. Trying to call them resulted in an endlessly ringing phone. Had to go down in person, and they had it sitting tight there, tag with all the info clear as day. I really don't understand how a company as lovely as Greyhound can exist in 2016. On a postive note I will say the lady who helped me today was the first polite and genuinely professional employee I've dealt with there.

1947-1953: No ribs on the case Grooved worm on the input shaft instead of neoprene seal Synchro rings all differ from each other. 1st-2nd synchro ring is bronze Weep hole at 6 o'clock on the bearing retainer snout Six digit casting number on the case, usually like "59xxxx" e.g., 591665.
