    Air shift or REB kit

    My sprag doesn't work in this sub freezing weather and I can't get around without the front axle. It is adjusted fine and works in reverse. If I start from a stop, it works (sprags catch). The sprags will not catch when in motion. There are no air shift transfer cases in my area (within...

    Mangus, The external sprag linkage only engages the reverse sprag. The transfer case is, by default, in forward drive. When the tranny is moved into reverse, the linkage moves the reverse sprag into gear. When the tranny is moved out of reverse, this force is removed and a spring in the...

    FYI. You do not have to start in 1st gear with the sprag transfer case.

    transfer case slips out of low

    It is coming back out. I will try to use the sprag/front section from one transfer case and the main section from the original transfer case. I can get a complete sprag transfer case locally for $100 and may go that route if I can't piece the two together successfully. Or, I can always add...

    transfer case slips out of low

    Well, the shift fork apparently has a hole which mates with a set screw on the fork so there isn't any adjusting to be done. The detent seems a little weak so maybe that can be improved on. Otherwise I will have to put the good sprag drive on the original transfer case... What is a fair price...

    transfer case slips out of low

    I just swapped out my non functioning sprag for another sprag. The good news is that the sprag works but the transfer case slips out of low range on occasion. It seems to do it under low load such as between shifts. I have noticed that it takes very little movement of the lever for it to slip...

    Inexpensive aftermarket heater

    There is an adapter for the defroster hose. I just noticed that there is a "p" suffix on the ebay heater part number but there isn't one on the corporate website's part number. I'll contact corporate tomorrow and see if it is significant.

    Which motor to swap in...

    Isn't a misnomer to call the non-turbo detroits supercharged since there is no way to build any boost? There are no exhaust valves, the air just flows right thrugh the sleeves and out through the exhaust pipe. With a turbo it could have positive pressure. I think that the correct term is...

    Which motor to swap in...

    From a 1971 motors manual: plain 6-71 has 219 HP at 2100 and 574ftlb at 1600 no load governed speed is 2150 the 6-71T (turbo?) has 236 HP at 2100 and 630ftlb. I've read that it is dangerous to go above 250HP because you can't get the heat out. No experience, though. Assuming that you...

    Tachometer

    The reo six in the deuce had provisions for a tach to be driven off of the cam. The only way to derive a mechanical tach drive off of the gmc is to get a distributor with a tach drive or an adapter for the distributor. Both are old time racers items and hard to find if at all. The first thing...
