So I got the shaft lengthened and was installing new bearing, bushing and seal in the np208 tail housing and hit a snag. I was using SKF p/n 18998 for the bushing/seal but the OD of the bushing is too small. The thickness of the bushing’s sidewall makes up the difference. The old worn out...

Nice and clean! Did you just use degreaser and elbow grease or soda blast it, etc?

That weld to weld measurement would be greatly appreciated! If I remember correctly, my trans had HD on one side in raised letters and 39 on the other side. It’s been a while since I put it back in.

Well I’m hoping this fixes it then. It’s been a long road restoring this thing. Worst case is what I’ve budgeted for, but I’d like to hold onto that cash for now. Somebody local sells rebuilt TH400s for $995 plus $200 core. Is there anything special about the CUCV TH400 to make it worth paying...

When I had it rebalanced and new u-joints installed they said it was perfectly straight and only barely out of balance. I’m hoping they paid close attention, as the same shop is building the longer one. I blame myself, as I pulled the driveshaft and brought it in to the shop. I should’ve...

Hey guys, ran a search and came up with two threads about modified CUCVs. One guy got flamed and never followed up, so here I am. I have a SRW pickup with factory drivetrain ( Th400/208 ) minus the 6.2–nothing has been moved from transmission back. I began experiencing a harmonic vibration...

ORD custom springs are the only way to go on these unless going coil spring and they have a setup for that too. ORD customs are about $1500 for all four. Pair them with some King shocks, sway bar disconnect and firestone airbags in the rear and it’s perfect all around.

Nice! I did this swap as well. New L31r with Sniper EFI so it looks carbed. I still want to do the 4L80. I’m spinning about 2550rpm at freeway speed with 3.73 gears installed. Thinking I’ll gear it back to 4.56 when I do the OD trans and 35” tires.
