Haha, this is what im looking at. Any input would be appreciated on where I can get a new or used shaft/gear. Id prefer not to buy an entire transmission.

Anyone know where I can buy a first gear countershaft? this gear looks like someone had the sliding gear 1/2 was engaged and hammered on it. Half the gear is spun off, the truck still drives ok, but first engages hard and obviously I cant put much pulling pressure on this gear.

Haha, beer and a welder made that happen.

Id call a local diesel engine shop. Parts might be standard enough for them to have in stock. I know my buddy has his entire IP overhauled locally for $450.

No, those are the threaded sleeve inserts. Those lines shouldnt be taped either. Fuel shouldnt ever hit the threads. They are tapered ends and rely on compression to seal. Here is a pic..a little blurry, but you get the idea.

I just rebuild mine, no washers there.

If you plan on some serious offroading dont clinch the wheel hard. Youll need an arm sling the next day when the truck dislocates your shoulder.

Wow, I just got flash backs from the USAF. Thats what I normally did to my airmen. Haha...so this is what the other side looks like.

Thanx for your help. Woulda taken me a little bit to look for a wire coming from my steering gear box in the horn circuit.

Haha, are they using that as the ground?

Why would the horn circuit rout into my steering gear box?

Wire 25 is the horn wire for me...

I found this wire as I reinstalled my IP after rebuild. I have no idea..lol Its not on the wiring diagram or schematic.

**** elves are dead then....

Anyone know what this wire is going into the bottom of my steering box? Sorry for the bad pic.

When running...clutch in or out...knocks.

Rebuilt my IP and gave her a good steam pressure bath.

Well, after a hard day of cleaning the truck, rebuilding the IP, and tracking down the knock..I think I found the knock. I put the Tcase in N, Trans in N, and with a breaker bar/socket I quickly rotated the engine back and forth (with the injectors removed). Smooth and quiet. Then I put the...

Haha...what was the final result of your knock?

Hmm..never even thought of that one...ill have to check it.
