Funny you say that. When I got my Monster trans, they sent it with the long 4X4 shaft, so instead of sending it back to Florida I just put a 208 behind it. I had to shorten the rear shaft by three inches and lenthen the by front three. I don't know why, sorry. I think the 700/205 overall is...

Go back and look at the power steering bracket. You may have tightend everything but the top tab will snap right at the angle. If you don't look at it closely, it's easy to miss. Also check behind the pump for the small bracket that connects to the engine. If it's missing, it can be the cause of...

Linkage adjustment.

You will also need the sleeve that connects the trans output shaft to the transfer case input shaft, and the shifter itself. the shifter is integrated into the adapter using it as a mounting point. The shifter for the 208 is mounted to the cab floor. Check out my add in the classifieds, I have...

The OP mentioned 6" front lift springs and rear blocks to match. I would suggest a transfer case drop at that point.

So does extreme driveshaft angles that cause premature spline and seal failure. Ok for a trailered mud truck. Problematic and unreliable on the road no matter how much it's greased. Even more so with the loads the OP plans to haul with it.

Harmonics? The whole truck is harmonic! LOL.:driver:

I agree with doghead, get your original rebuilt or source a used one that can be rebuilt. I despise all that cheap Auto Zone Durablast Chinese garbage. Put some money in an Americans pocket by having your trucks electrical parts rebuilt locally. There is nothing more aggravating than having to...

:ditto: Extreme lifts and heavy loads are not a good combination. The higher center of gravity will result in bad handling. Tall lift blocks increase pinion angle, cause axle rap up and do a number on the rear springs and u joints. A shackle flip is the best way to go. It actually corrects...

I changed the engine oil today, and looked into a locking hub issue I had after last weekends storm. I thought I lost a hub after I helped a friend plow some item 4 roads. It gave the truck a pretty good workout. I dissasembled the hub in question to find it bone dry, same thing with the other...

Thanks! Cutting the holes in the can lid was a PITA. The holesaw kept snatching up on the reinforcing ribs under the lid. FYI, the leather seats are out of an 02 S10 blazer.

Here's what I did, don't know how usefull it is as it was just ment as a shift console.

I didn't know that about Datsun. The GM V8 engines were the best, small block and big block, thats it.

:ditto: With the scarcity of qualified mechanics in his area, it's probably his best option. Infighting between members does the OP no good. It also makes us look bad to newcomers,my2cents.

Just for us old guys entertainment, please report any seat pinching death wobble episodes on the way home. Dash cam gets extra points. Seriously, get your truck fixed before you drive it home. A crash could ruin your day, or somebody elses.

Way to beat the snot of of your truck, hope you got a fat wallet.

Unlike Ford and Chrysler, GM had process called parts bin manufacturing if im not mistaken, building few parts that makeup many vehicles. many parts will Interchange between the GM brands from the 70s and 80s.

Seeing as your mechanical experience is limited, you may want to consider doing the Roscommon 12v conversion on your truck. I do not endorse doing this at all as getting troubleshooting help here will be limited. Most members leave their trucks in the 12-24 configuration for just that reason...

$100.00 is a small investment as apposed to what could be hours of agrivation. There are purists here that simply refuse to do this, or the doghead mod. I can't get my head around that kind of thinking.

If or when you do your head gaskets, I would suggest replacing the head bolts with ARP head studs. Re using head bolts is not recomended as they stretch and loose the ability to acuratetly torque the heads to spec.
