Finally got around to changing out Cracked/welded rear pinion... noticed rear driveshaft is bent... Installed my spare... The bent one will be going to be repaired.. Also noticed my charging system is on the blink again... Ugh, just had both alt rebuilt a bout a year ago... They must have...
i have one in my M1009... i pulled it out of a wrecked 80's chevy conversion van... paid like $10.00 the length was correct, but had to modfiy the mounts for it to fit... i think theres pics of it in my build thread... if not.. i can snap some... I have my CB mounted to it... Planning...
look for my build thread....http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?83044-85-M1009-build-thread&highlight=85+build+thread
I used all ORD hardware..( along with the crossover steer kit ). i would also recommend, at looking at Driver side frame rail, ( were steering box mounts to it...) (...
sounds like you have mulitple issues... As stated above... check you grounds for lights... and recheck both alt... may have a stator or rectifer going out....
FYI... the cost for a good TCI manual valve body for the 4L80 and the cost of a controller, is roughly the same... Cost.. comes down to the "extras", vs " loss of auto shifting..." I recommend doing the research in decipering which would work best for you, and your application...
Nice...
the GV OD is a good cheap solution, however, if you have a lifted truck, and even a doubler, your limited on Driveshaft angles due to adding about 12" to drivetrain. the Allison 5 or 6sp from a Duramax would be a pricey option as on average, a rebuild for one runs 3-4G and it eats alot of HP to...
im sorry... I dont.... i still need to tweek mine a bit... as it needs it be recalibrated again..... If i rememeber correctly though, the directions are pretty easy....
52" 1/2ton rear truck springs Front and rear on my M1009.. using spring relocation buckets from ORD... gives about a 4" lift, but SUPER flexy,with LOTS of articulation... Not reocmmended if you plan on towing anything heavy....
A friend of mine builds, modifys, and mantains Range Rovers, and these were in one he's parting out. I have no clue where preivous owner got em... I seen some other seats like these on a different offroad forum i stay in contact with, and from what i can tell, these are Mastercraft seats, or...
While your under there turning wrenches, i would also change out the motor mounts, if your trans mount was "mush", that could be the reason for the cracked housing....
I had basicly the same delimna... I reused my exisiting Front driveshaft, sourced another front Driveshaft ( both are CV Style ) from junkyard, and switched to fixed flange on the rear of my 205... had both shafts reworked with an 8" slip spline shaft.. and after 2 was made, I went back and...
Super Duper easy fix.... either get a 300Ohm reisistor or link 2 150 ohms... Search.... Search my friend... you will find the answer you seek.... I had to do the same mod about 8-9 months ago... Been working perfect ever since....
the re center rings will only go so far, giving you the required back spacing... I have recentered H1 12b's, pvc inserts, with 37" military BFG Baja TA's and have them set at 50psi per markings on tire... i run like that on road.. and air down to like 10 offroad... been like over 2 years now...
Okay... So i located some killer seats for like 50 bucks... made a trip to junkyard for a seat switch.. and Whala! Power front seats!.... Im not thrilled on the color currently... but for the price... i can live with it until i can get them dyed black and than water proof coated... Went...
