I have joined the Goat herd

So, i done right and didn't even know it.

A body every now and then sometimes gets lucky.

I believe I have the answer from my soon to be published goat book. Here is your answer direct from the book..

Did they mistakenly come that way from the factory or was it a error made by the maker of the transfer case?

Since the flange and drum have 8 holes I would say the transfer case maker, I think mine only has 4, I'll have to take a look.

 

[combat32]

8 seems better than 4 considering what it does.

 

[combat32]

Mark, i don't think this spring looks right, this is what came out of the pump on the transfer case. Do you still have a spare as i am zero balance. Otherwise it looks good inside, and i got the driveline buttoned up.

No pics but worked on the goat most of the day, got my fuel pump issues sorted out, she will run. But can't get it to idle, one step forward and one back. Tomorrow is a new day, waiting on some advice from my detroit expert buddy. Still slowly making progress so i am happy.

Good job Tom, two complete oil pumps headed your way.

 

[combat32]

Thanks got to get this idle issue figured out, i am reading troubleshooting stuff i found online, i may need a rebuilt governor.

Finished the access cover for the rear steering gear box. Had to drill out most of the screws, found some replacement nutserts on amazon to replace the ones i couldn't re-tap.

Installed a spin on filter for secondary, still not running right, gonna change the injectors next. But it cleared up all my fuel leaks in that area.

 

[m38inmaine]

Filter looks good, I did the same with mine. I think you are on the right track.

I need to convert mine to spin ons

I got mine fron Diesel Pro, there are probably cheaper options.

 

[combat32]

Going to install new injectors on my next day off, fingers crossed, hope this is last high hurdle.

 

[combat32]

Amen! I have a running goat motor!

Very happy right now but also very tired, will try to post a video of it tomorrow.

 

[m38inmaine]

Good job Tom, look forward to hearing her perrrrrrr...

Went replace the input seal on the top end of my t case and noticed one ear on the flange was cracked all the way through. Thankfully i had a spare.

How did you happen to have one on hand?!

When i bought this truck it came with some spare parts, mostly junk but i have been able to rob some usable parts off of them.
