You are working ina foreign country without US support and your first choice of transportation is a 38 year old CUCV?
I'd scrap that idea pretty quickly and pick up some wheels locally or buy something built to US spec that most closely resembles what is available locally.
Which probably makes...
I'm sure your stock shaft will reach with 4" of lift. You will be more concerned with how it's vibrating over the length.
Most kits will include a drop spacer kit for the crossmember but it's a bad idea. Best way to do it is with a CV rear shaft. When going that route like mentioned just...
I see a lot of these on the standby units I work on, especially the Generac and Winco units. Handful of them I've replaced due to leaks. One burned out because a freeze plug leaked draining the coolant, then the heater went full on meltdown...
Other then that pretty good. Probably can't find...
No doubt
What do you have for a trans controller? Any way you can plug a laptop in and see when the TCC is being commanded on and off?
You may be able to drive down the road and toggle it manually. That would be a great way to see if it's responding correctly.
Realistically it's either the...
Sounds like the converter is not coming out of lockup.
Try unplugging the lockup solenoid pin or tune it for no lockup and see if it goes away.
Granted mine is turned this way, my rpm will stay up as I decel giving me engine braking. Then when I cross the 1500 rpm threshold it unlocks and...
Let me know where you mount it. I was under the truck today and there is no real good location. I have the same exact valve.
I'm almost at the point of wanting to mount it under the frame somewhere that is still easy to get at the handle without getting under the truck. That way it's way easier...
Would just be easier to install a Suburban 40 gallon tank.
The only good way of doing it is to use a dual circuit ball valve so both the supply and return are switched at the same time.
I think you potentially can get into cross fedding on hills as mentioned. A lot of guys run an aux tank in...
I think the chain drive cases have a crush washer. I don't remember because both my trucks have real transfer cases. Joking...
That would mean they have straight threads (cut parallel and not it's personal orientation) on the bolt because the washer does the sealing. My 205 had a tapered plug...
The 1 ton has a taller sectional height near the center like trans crossmember area. The crossmember is pretty much flat. The lighter duty variants have a crossmember that drops down a bit because the frame height isn't as tall.
Yeah I've seen no difference in material thickness.
IMO none of...
As crisp as one can get from a 37 year old flaky chrome plated plastic switch 🤣
I'd vote for a bad switch if it's killing both of the low or high beams. Probably upstream like the fuse or switch.
I haven't tackled adding relays to the headlight circuit yet. I did do conversion lenses on both...
I've seen cold weather operation show the real difference between PS fluid and ATF. Just get the real stuff. It's not going to hurt anything, just give you noise and hard assist when it gets butt cold out.
I've had both boxes now on both trucks get leaky or dead spots. Red Head is selling boxes...
When I started to get serious into wheeling I built a Toyota crawler. It came with 35 x 14.5 TSL Swampers on a steel wagon wheel. Same thing, I could barely lift it. That truck rode like absolute trash.
After I got done with it, I put in some 37" Goodyear MTRs. It was night and day. Sure it had...
I kept my truck 24v for a decade. It worked fine but I converted for a few reasons.
- going with an M1010 accessory drive when I added AC, didnt want to deal with a second 555JH0 alternator, one is big enough
- it's the only truck in my fleet that's an odd ball system voltage
- found someone to...
You don't realize it when the truck is new to you. Fast forward ten years later and the truck has a radio, in cab inverter, tablet mounted on the dash, trans controller for the 4l80, AC add on, and an aux trans cooler mounted under the truck with three e-fans. All needing one trigger wire to...
Pics or none of this happened 🤣
Listen I lose my ____ everytime i read a Land Rover diagram. Dip? Oh you mean low beams 😑
Earth? Yes everything is on Earth except for the Mars rover.
It doesn't help that I got my start on 90's era Toyotas which are known for having meticulously accurate...
