    241OR Ruby Tcase conversion, input needed

    it's 23 or whatever the mitsu jeep is, but the automatic input on the t case is much shorter. it sits flush with the case surface, where as the manual shaft protrudes almost 2 inches, guarantee-ing a firm connection with transmission output shaft, it's lengthening this shaft that I'm undertaking...

    uber rare and frighteningly cool mitsus

    today I answered an ad in c.l. ( whom I'm going to boycott as they are charging for ads now), for a montero drive train. so of course I jumps up and fetches it away from the fellow who offered it for free. in his yard was the most fabulbous collection of mitsu s ever in one place, including a...

    241OR Ruby Tcase conversion, input needed

    how true about selling the ruby. I've never looked into marks, assuming they were for the later transfer cases. the other powerful reason to keep Ruby, is the neutral option, for a tow-behind, my gen 1 requires that I de-couple the drive shaft

    241OR Ruby Tcase conversion, input needed

    solution. measure and cut the splined end from another transfer case, weld it end to end with the automatic input shaft, problem solved, as long as I measure correctly, reassemble, and ...happy motoring

    241OR Ruby Tcase conversion, input needed

    update: the automatic ruby t case will fit the gen 1 transmission. the input shaft will have to be changed out for the manual transmission input shaft. where I might find one of those...is anybodies guess . I'm hoping that a standard 241 input shaft is identical, but likely due to the planets...

    Which Ball Joint?

    I meant gen 2 triple fives in my above post. the bolt in ball joint. my rig is gen 1, but I had forgotten I'd switched to gen 2 control arms, (which I'm gonna ******** can soon in favor of some custom junk), at least for the uppers. so for the record my triple 5 gen 2 ball joints came from carquest...

    241OR Ruby Tcase conversion, input needed

    this summer I was in the owyhees for fire crew. there is breath taking trail running out there. my gen 1 in 4 low did not have the poop to get up some inclines. gears trump power every time. the jeepers were easy on me as my rig is old as am i, and the razors just scooted along like it were...

    241OR Ruby Tcase conversion, input needed

    very expensive... I guess!!! I just looked on ebay...and fainted. the early rubies are fetching more for some reason. in this realm, of wholly unrealistic pricing, I might be as well off with a stax or the other one whose name I don't recall right now. as for strength of the ruby, they are 1-ton...

    241OR Ruby Tcase conversion, input needed

    at this time, an auto appears to be some degree of trouble. if u find a ruby , at all grab it. these can be converted to manual, at a cost. it seems , or at least for me was a reality that I could buy a front case half new, which I could not do for some years as magna, NP, NV was not casting...

    241OR Ruby Tcase conversion, input needed

    u will for sure hear about my adventures of putting an auto 241 in. I suspect I will be changing bearing retainer and input shaft or machining a spud shaft to connect the two, which is the plausible solution...if the retainer will mate to the rear of the aisin....OY.

    Crankshaft pulley bolt

    it's a well known replacement. must be a fresh counter person there. I recall, if I'm not confusing my engines, that the center hole has a bevel to it and must be installed a certain wsy, I think with the bevel toward that bolt shank? if this is true, please confirm. I might be very wrong on...

    Forklift 2.6 vs truck 2.6

    dsm tuners have info on stuff like this. I've just dipped my toe in the waters over there. it's terribly confusing until I learn the vernacular. if it's propane, grab it, and all the propane bits. Likely the block is like new, and will just need valves. neat find. put the propane on ur rig, a...

    GEN1 Front Door Sprung

    that is really painful to see. the crease will come out, but if the door is bent where the hinge attaches , then the door is worthless. most likely the A panel is ok. hinges give way b4 the body. I'm getting to the point of re bushing my hinges, and will report on what I find. is it possible...

    D50 Diesel Build

    wow, great news. I believe I read about ur tribulations elsewhere on the net. or someone similar. 3000 is boomin' dirt cheap for a new motor. brokers offer an escrow of sorts, a payment transfer f.o.b., after its free on board, or did for commodities. perhaps a single engine is too much trouble...

    ok good news on the diesel. on my rig i can go either way 'cause i have a wrecked diesel from japan, but here is my next question: the importation from Korea, was it smooth and trouble free? Kia 4D56 and D4bf they are the same engine??

    241OR Ruby Tcase conversion, input needed

    the Tcase came from a 2003 rubicon, as i remember it. What changed in 2012? the transmission that mated to this Tcase was a NAG1 or w580 series. does that help? id love th have that transmission. by all accounts its a dandy. but...no stand alone controller that works.
