    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    Quick question, hopefully I did not overstep a seal but the flange at the transmission tail to the transfer case adapter comes with an o-ring and a gasket. When I took out the transmission there was only the o-ring which is what are replaced and put back. No sealant other than a little gasket...

    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    after the rain let up I managed to take another stab at kicking this thing down the road. Pics tomorrow when there is better light. The adapter went on very nicely, but I did make a mistake in assuming the cast numbers would indicate up/down. The bolt holes on the advaned adapters tailhousing...

    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    I included an external tranny cooler w/ fan in my order which came with a bunch of fittings to adapt to a hose (makes fitting the temp ext filter really easy). My plan is to mount the tranny cooler (I guess under the truck is a popular install spot for these) but I am pretty sure in this case...

    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    So no pics but while it is still fresh in my mind I will put some details here before I forget. Today kinda kicked my butt.... being that the cam plug was done and I got a second touch up on the rear of the pan with a little Great Stuff (I really think i nailed it and at least it will be a...

    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    Today I had enough time to tackle the lions share of the work on the transfer case. A pretty straight forward deal as long as you pay attention. The seal kit came with some extra bits and and was also lacking seals for the speedo housing and speedo output (I hope they are not leaking) The...

    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    I requested it as an add on. He was actually saying many people opt to run without one (for cooling and a few other reasons I have already forgot) and was here or there with whether I needed it. I could have sourced one on ebay but this one was beautifully clean and saved me one more transaction.

    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    So it begins..... I received the 700r4 from Bowtie Overdrives and am pretty sure I have most of what I need to proceed with the install. Today I dropped the driveshafts drained and removed the transfer case and started undoing the tranny... The ujoints felt pretty good and even though the...

    Receiver Hitch Mount

    For your sanity try gluing (sikaflex adhesive or other good void filling adhesive) some stainless shimstock in there. You want a little slop so using the hitch as a clamp put a few layers of masking tape on there when gluing the shim, drill it out where needed (from the other side so you do not...

    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    I managed to find one on there that included the tcase bolts for a reasonable amount, thankyou guys again for steering this in the right direction.

    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    I'm on mobile now. It looks like it's just a half inch diameter steel rod. I could probably fab something up cheaper than what I found on the net... Wonder if mild steel would be ok or if it would be too soft. Thanks for the heads up, would be a good time to add this.

    Custom Security System

    Luckily there is an amazing place here... Very pleased with how well it went and how wires were run.... And a reasonable price which covered the first fob a year later after it got glitchy. I installed the same unit on my m1010 as I was then familiar enough and pleased with the unit. A little...

    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    Good to know, thank you guys! At the end of the day since the AA adapter tailpiece is installed it should bolt right up to my "tall 6 bolt adapter" that is already attached to my np208. No height spacer needed. I will be pulling the tcase and swapping in a seal kit and doing an inspection while...

    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    Ok, so I went and reassessed what we were talking about and I thing Chris is correct about it bolting right up without that tall 14038663 adapter when the advance adapter kit 50-6901 is used. the th400 tail has 6 bolts. The np208 has 6 bolts. The 50-6901 corrects the length of the shaft and...

    Ahh. well, indeed you are correct. I heard having money is overrated anyways.... :shrugs: at least they are available. thankyou again.

    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    He said the aluminum tail that is in that kit is shaped like the tail of the th400 so it will bolt right up.

    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    -edit- chris said this adapter kit eliminates the need for the tall adapter. Ahh, Chris missed the detail for the tall adapter. I suppose this is needed in addition to this? https://www.summitracing.com/parts/add-50-6901

    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    I read enough and talked with both sources. While PATC may have been able to build a good 700r4 the intimate knowledge that chris had about components for this specific application was enough to sway my decision. We outlined all the parts and components and he is starting on it. Now I will just...

    M1010 fire rig to camper conversion

    Awesome, for some reason I thought you had went with a PATC kit but too much reading and too late of a night. I like the sound of the kit as there is less legwork and from what I have read here (heard no negative feedback) I would guess their product is on par. Thankyou for the detailed writeup...
