    Yes I restored my springs the same way. You will not regret the extra work. Several people call me crazy, and that's Ok, because I AM CRAZY.

    Nostalgic Air Brackets and Turbo

    Skinny a Level II 700R4 K-case from Bowtie will handle 450 HP and 450 FPT. That's what is behind my P400. I love the 700R4's lower first gear and higher top gear, and that is why I chose a 700R4 for my drivetrain build. And no electronics to fry, just that elusive TV cable bracket. And no...

    Nostalgic Air Brackets and Turbo

    Its ironic you posted after my post of last October, as I am about to pull my crankshaft pulley off and replace it with the crank pulley for the Bullet Supercharger. I plan to send my AC compressor back to Sanden and have them replace its v-belt pulley with a 6-rib pulley so it can be powered...

    Oil pump prime?

    Cranking any engine without oil pressure is probably the worse thing you could do. The bearing clearances are designed to operate while being flooded with pressurized oil from the oil pump. If you have installed a new oil pump, obviously the pump has no oil in it, and the galleys and oil...

    Is your blasting cabinet that big? If so I am a little jealous. Also please expand on the 35 spline upgrade. I also understand ORD offers outer axle seals. If I ever get back into my front D60 I will clean the inside of the axle and install those. Great work!

    Fellow with a bunch of 6.2 parts

    An older gentleman dropped by my shop today to see if I needed any 6.2 parts. Curious, I asked him what all he had. He said he had several complete engines, heads, and whatever, and added that he also had a pretty rusted "Army Blazer". I told him that I currently did not have any needs, but I...

    Your NP208 32 spline input shaft is GOLD!

    If that is the case (pardon the pun), I suggest you consider reaching out to Rick in Jonestown PA (cucvrus on SS). He probably has a case available, but if not, he could probably steer you in the right direction. If I were you and could get a used case, the first thing I would do would be to...

    Your NP208 32 spline input shaft is GOLD!

    Look on the round tag on the rear of the case. It should be stamped on there. You may need to clean it first, but don't use solvent which could erase the paint. I've been fooling with these things for over 50 years, and in my opinion, Mark Bendler is one of the best TC rebuilders on the...

    Your NP208 32 spline input shaft is GOLD!

    Yes the 241 case is the same size but just a little different due to thicker castings and room for the oil pump. No driveshaft change unless you go with the SYE. Many of the 241's had the electronic speedometer output. Only the 1988 and a few of the 1989's had the mechanical speedometer...

    Your NP208 32 spline input shaft is GOLD!

    That's what I did. I sourced a super rebuilt NP241C from Mark Bendler at Kodiak Truck. Did away with the leaky rear output shaft in favor of one of Tom Woods Slip Yoke Eliminator kits. The 241's are pressure-oiled instead of relying on chain-splash for lubrication.

    LED Taillights?

    So does that mean the Chinese LED tail lights from LMC have Rick's Master CUCV Seal of Approval?

    LED Taillights?

    Guys my housings are shot and the rubber bulb sockets are hard and brittle. The passenger side taillight/brake light works backwards, even though the wiring is correct. It's time I replaced those things, just wondering if the Chinese LMC units are any better.

    LED Taillights?

    Has anybody installed these LED taillight kits from LMC Truck? Are there other LED taillight kits from other sources which may be better quality? LED Tail Light Set (lmctruck.com)

    Question about wiring harness to rear bumper

    I'm restoring/rewrapping my rear harness and can't seem to figure out where in the TM's I need to look to determine what the two wires with stripes do. Brown = taillights, Yellow = left turn/brake, Green = right turn/brake, Light Green = back-up. I get all that, but what do the other two wires...

    1984 CUCV question?

    Hello Ms. RedLegs. Is your husband's CUCV a truck or Blazer?

    Replacement Alternators

    Guys, BMP Industrial Supply has NEW 27si alternators for $152.82. These are new units, not rebuilt. I had forgotten that I purchased one a few months ago to keep as a spare and can attest that it is excellent. 400-12416 Alternator, 12V, 100A, Delco 27SI, New, Standard (blowermotorsplus.com)...
