I took the parts motor for the turret drive apart today. The part I wanted is the motor body with the magnets in it. The motor suffered the fate as the turret motor, rusted inside. The bearings were seized, lots of corrosion and rust, though not as much as the turret motor. The motor on the...

Ahhh, those screw jacks ... I thought they were talking about the pads at the end of the lift arms that screw to set the height. Yes screw jacks are highly recommended especially when removing or adding heavy parts of the vehicle.

I'm curious why you even need extensions or tall screw jacks? I used the standard screw pads on the lift and extended them maybe 3-4" at most. They hit the frame when the lift is off the ground 12-14" or so. Then we just pulled the arm locking pin up and adjusted to the frame.

I didn't see any Avengers, I bet they could use a few right about now.

That's what I was thinking but wasn't sure .... Here's a picture Mattguy so he can double check his transfer case

All the stuff "we" left in Afghanistan we should have given to Ukraine.

Today I finished the door seals. I used Krazy Glue to make the corner and it worked great. First I did a test piece to see how long it took to setup and how well it holds. I was happy with the results and did the corners. The black that looks it's messed up is just the glue, the picture does...

I changed the passenger side door seal today and it was more of a challenge so I took a couple pictures of the issue. I mentioned previously about the seal channel getting dented in and holding onto the seal making it difficult to remove. It's obvious these door have hit the ground a few...

I believe the Dex2 came in about 36-38 so that sounds about right. And I was using the 40C ratings.

Not specifically but in my recent 4L80/242 swap I chose Dex6 for the transfer case as well. The transfer case isn't affected the same as the power steering as there is no pump or high pressure line, it's basically lubrication. Dex6 should have work well in that application if we consider the...

I've recently spent some time researching exactly these options/arguments for Dex3 vs Dex6 in both the transmission and the power steering system. I choose Dex 6 for the transmission and power steering fluid (PSF) for the steering. I suspect the viscosity of Dex 6 is what makes it a poor...

I don't know what the official procedure is for jump starting but that makes no sense and would not effect the TCU from a purely technical aspect. More likely the TCU just plain failed or was abused in some other way. That TCU is just a typical GM TCU for a 4L80 transmission enclosed in a...

My tailgate has many dents from the pintle hitch. I'd like to replace it. The tailgate on it is plain, no writing. I've seen AM General tailgates and was wondering what years had what or were the AM General tailgates used on specific models? Is there any rhyme or reason or where they just...

Several things I can think of when I did mine and things didn't work as intended, on the rear lights there is a strap that goes to both of the mounting bolts. If you didn't put that strap on the some of your lights won't function correctly. Both bolts are grounds to different light functions...

Please post pictures. Thanks and glad you found what you were looking for.

Can I ask what is so wrong with yours that you need to replace it?

After the seal channel was fixed around the door it was time to put the new seal in. Since it is not molded with a corner I decided to make the corner the point where the seal ends would meet. Also this allowed me to feed the seal in. In the first picture there are 2 red arrows pointing to a...

The first step was removing the old seal. The ends of the seal meet in the middle bottom of the door. I tried to pull it out but it's held in pretty tight so I started on the side and pulled out easy. I pulled the seal out of most of the door but the bottom and bottom corners were not...

I purchased new X-door seals from MME ($30 each) and overall I am happy with the purchase however they are not exactly correct. They have the correct part numbers and they are labeled "replacement". There is a part number for each door. The description is front or rear and left or right...

Dude, you should absolutely take him up on this offer. Then use good quality Crimp type heat shrink butt connectors. Then use some black heat shrink tubing over the butt connectors. I'll send you some black heat shrink tubing if you need it.
