Be advised, the rebuild kit for these is not simply standard o-rings.
There is a place local to me that sells the kits for $20
I'll PM you the link (the mods don't like links in here some times unless it's sponsors)
What year truck?
If an AO (facing truck) there are two cables coming in inboard/forward (top/left). These are your 24v (on the AO's the two are paired together, on the A1R it is a single cable (I've never owned an A1).
Then one single inboard/middle (center/top). This is 12v
And one that...
Dual 6TLs on all my trucks.
Mostly because I like the OEM tie down system and didn't want to hack up the top in case I reverted back to four (never know when we *all* may be at war or have to bug out to nasty cold places, etc). ;) But I've seen people retrofit all sorts of sizes. There are a...
Go dual unless you are in N. Maine, Alaska, Montana, etc. In GA you don't need four.
Set up for dual. You can always swap back.
All three of my trucks were converted to two (you can even use the existing cables).
*not my image, but it's what I used.
Na, just going to be a beach truck.
I hate to dump $300 of oil into there to flush and refill. I've never seen an automatic that got wet that had clutches which survived.
:(
Lots. Looks like the truck was forded with the breather plug open. No cross-contamination to the engine (which is running awesome). I had seen it on the dipstick and pretty much knew the clutch packs were goo. Of course the t-case is goo as well.
Now to find a compatible replacement for a 3070
As I prepare to delve into the trans on my 94 for a checkup, I found this. It's a nice general overview used in training mechanics in the civilian world. I've found it handy and a bit less convoluted than the TMs. Of course it covers multiple models, but has some good info.
ymmv...
Yep. Cheap is good.
I'm not one of these "let's blow $100k on a camper build" guys.
I don't have it.
Lot's a retasked, scraps, RV takeoff, and surplus stuff.
:)
Not that it matters, but this is what I've settled on. Almost all weight slung low at frame (except fresh).
No batteries in house (especially under bed which is suicide).
All diesel heaters mounted outside of actual hab.
Underbed storage can be removed if I need to haul something long inside...
Yep. We used to also weight each corner. It's part of the equation as well for baseline.
Once the coil overs were correct (which we don't really have expect on the A1R tucks, and it's a very different scenario since they are expecting a crapton of armor installed) then you would start tuning...
Nice work.
Looking forward to the build out.
*btw: the lifting points that slide out are just for lifting. When they do an airdrop, as far as I know they would only toss the airdrop versions (M1081 or M1093). These have the fold-down cab that allows them to be fit onto a skid.
Not a...
