Does the pinion yoke nut determine bearing preload?

The rear output seal of the transfer case has been damaged by the rust on the slip yoke. Judging by the ground it didnt loose much fluid, which could mean the leak wasnt that bad or it was already very low on fluid.

Brand new nut. Torqued to spec.

I'm not sure its a vibration. Its just the sound, everything in the truck feels smooth when coasting.

U joints are brand new.

Saw rubberduck4x4 has two p400, 14k... way too pricy for me. By chance do you know the dry weight of the p400? must be more than the ol 6.5

Kinda hard to hear the sound in the videos, but there is a very loud hum sound when I let off the throttle. Only happens below 40 and above 5 mph. If I shift into neutral when coasting, the sound is still there. Normal sound? https://youtu.be/78S6nY9G8-I https://youtu.be/q0OdjZeFmRU

Interesting. Whats the quality comparison between am general and dalton? if any

Will do when the time comes.

Won't be purchasing anything for at least another year... probably be all gone by then anyways. Site said 506 casting. I had a 2006 Turbo GEP, 599 casting. Very nice engine.

Did a little looking around and looks like AM General has stopped production of the p400 in mid 2018. Looks like the last few optimizers are being sold for around 7k as long block or drop in. 6-5liter seems to have a good deal on a complete engine

I'm just trying to avoid gm blocks in general, shooting for optimizer. I was hoping to find a take out on eBay from a humvee. Saw one in good condition on eBa for 3k. NA optimizer, shoulda bought it.

Yeah getting into this game too late. All the good stuff is sold off. I suppose a regular used optimizer shouldn't be too bad. Certainly a step up from GMs 6.5

P400 long block? Would love to do that. How did you get the oil pan to clear the front axle? Yeah wouldn't dream of trying to convert turbo to na.

Eventually I want to swap in a GEP 6.5 NA, but I'm not looking to slap a turbo and turn up the fuel. I would like to get one of those drop in GEPs that humvees were using to replace the old 6.2. Keep it same power levels or near same as my current 6.2, but with a better block. Objective here is...

I called my insurance company, usaa, and they said they don't have any documentation they can give me on assessed value since apparently I gave them the valued price... which I didn't. Their system said a 1986 chevy D30 is worth 15000...

Well if they want a depreciated value, a dealership makes sense. At least in their eyes. Could turn out in my favor considering my truck is full of rust... less tax perhaps.

Yeah I'm in contact with a dealer now seeing if he can write something up the government will accept...

Bill of sale was provided to them. Sale amount too, they will not take the amount I paid as a "retail assessment value".

They want to tax me $100 due to the gross vehicle weight... I'm not sure if they ONLY want an assessed value from a dealership, but thats the example they gave me. If there is any official documentation that states a price then I would love to have it.
