I removed the air cleaner from the top of the engine and reached down with a ratcheting box wrench. It's blind so you just have to feel for the bolt and get the wrench on. It just takes a while with little turns.

I'm tell'n ya, which ever TM you go to first it's always in the other one!!

Ah! Thanks

I've never heard about the illegality. What makes recentered illegal?

The service manual does plus a million google results if you search 700r4 lockup wiring. There's only two wires that come off the solenoid, not complex wiring. There a few options like pressure switch placement or temp sensors so you won't lockup until reaching operating temp. You can go as...

I don't know much about the 205. As to converter lockup, when the solenoid inside the trans has 12v and ground, it locks up. You can manipulate either side of that equation to control when lockup occurs. On mine, power is always there and I interrupt ground. I have a three position switch on my...

I use this el cheapo. It's worked just fine. http://www.harborfreight.com/automotive-motorcycle/transmission-jacks/450-lb-capacity-transmission-jack-39178.html

I pulled the core from a '92 4x4 1500 at the junk yard, about $150. I think you could adapt a 2x4 to 4x4, but it's much easier to just start with the 4x4 version. The output spline count for the 700r4 is different than the TH400. Your choice is to either change the output shaft on the 700r4 or...

I don't have a specific build thread for my 700r4. Speddmon has a pretty in depth one http://www.steelsoldiers.com/showthread.php?t=99530 I did some research into 700r4 common problems and what to upgrade to address them. I put in aftermarket sun shell, steels, clutches, 2-4 band, corvette...

A built up 700r4 gives you a lower first gear, higher overdrive and no electronics.

I have a 700r4 in my 1028. I totally disagree that 1800 is too low for cruising. Flat land cruising at 1800 rpm is wonderful, even mild hills. It's quiet and the 6.2 is putting out plenty of torque at this point. I think the sweet spot for cruising is 2000-2100. If I remember correctly, these J...

I think you'll be much happier with the lower stall

Others may have a different opinion, but I wouldn't think it would matter much. TH400s were stock setups behind plenty of other engines that through out a lot more power. I don't know that it would be worth going for a high dollar converter unless you are really planning on abusing it. Heavy...

The shop said the TC was the culprit, not the transmission? I'd be concerned about the transmission, specially if you have burnt fluid. I'd be hesitant to buy a new converter, then fry your trans and get all that crud into your new converter. As to your converter being hot to the touch...

Why are you pulling your transmission. Is there a problem with it or the torque converter? If its in need of a rebuild then its a good idea to replace your TC while you're at it since the trash and debris from a blown tranny will also have contaminated your TC. If you replace it, DO NOT get a...

What you labeled #1 is the reverse passage, #3 is the direct clutch, I don't know if they should be flowing air together or not. I'd look through all the components from the rear servo. That has both the 1-2 accumulator piston as well as the reverse servo piston in it. If it's outa whack, it can...

I'm going with stuck valve or blocked passage, obviously reverse line pressure is way low.

A lot of times, not getting out of first is the governor. That's quick and easy to check. You may have some debris from your build that is now blocking a passage causing both loss of reverse and 1st only. Put your pressure gauge back on and see if your pressure either too high or low, could be a...

I've day dreamed of doing this as well. Crew cab sure would be nice!

If ya don't mind, what did it end up costing?
