lunch box lockers. Aussi locker etc. what has worked for you? i believe that when i get mine installed i will run one splined cap on passenger side, and a locking hub on drivers side. on my new high pinion gen 2 differential, i have disabled the vacuum set up and permanently locked in my long...

im a bore , a whore, and a hog here on the forum lately. but im elbows deep into this upgrade and i need as much input as i can get. Someone in my dim-memoried past, mentioned here that the Gen 2 radiator will fit the Gen 1 body with an "ish" tag. as in: "it will fit --ish" im at radiator...

well yes your considerations are valid and i run the gates/ dayton stuff no problem. most do. but they have, do, and will, fail of course. Many times with no warning, or in the most inconvenient of circumstances. i have so many back country issues and parts failures, that one fewer thing to...

there is, and i noticed shimming in the gen2 parts im installing and hoping there is no trouble brewing on that. as I'm clueless to know where to begin. i suppose i keep them loose but not too loose. even so the drive axle is a different system than the wheel bearing. his evidence points...

hijack away!! its all good info. and any other's experiences welcome.

wow. even the spark plugs.... funny story. at the old oregon asphaltic paving there was many years ago a 400 pound mechanic. he could not get the plugs out of the fleet of chevy trucks they ran because he was too fat to bend over the fenders. SO HE REMOVED THE FENDERS! TO CHANGE SPARK...

there are advantages and disadvantages. essentially in the big trucks it was a million mile solution to apotential failure . I suppose it would be the same in sutos. there is a slight , perhaps not so slight opportunity for heat Frans fer in our montees with metal tubing. . I guess u have also...

Oh. so gm wheels will fit. ok. I'm shopping. just ain't seen them b4. Likely cause most people don't modify their rigs I guess many many of the pics are dead in the pics post ....

after 3 years of being owned by my montee, It has finally occurred to me that wheels other than factory options are seldom seen on monteros. please enlighten. why is that? is the center hole the problem?

radiator: yes in NM. a 3rd row is a good idea. it's a good idea genrally with an engine with aluminum heads. I have a radiator in at hart's radiator in Longview washington right now. it's getting 3 rows, staggered, dimpled, and the cooling fins are louvered. my volvo fan, and we should be...

alignment or lack thereof will not kill bearings. (wheel alignment i am referring to) timkin/koyo are the best bearing; the best of the best. timkin, bower ntn etc. there is no chance that the bearings would disintegrate as i had feared if you had used a bearing of lesser quality. china...

grease running out past a melted seal? generally 3 miles wont kill even an ungreased bearing. misalignment will. but there must be uneven pressure on a tapered bearing to kill it that quickly. cock-eyed. but again , how? tapered bearings fit into the race, and thats that. just guessing i...

now....where were we? oh yes, for more details...... these numbers... are numbing ; ls3 l99 ls1 ...but the pic above is a thing of beauty.

hello all. im in need of a 95 / 96 rear axle pinion drive flange to mate to my gen1 drive shaft. does anyone have one to sell? thanks to all.

im with him. new hoses and especially new clamps will keep your lovely in the juice for a long time. further a thorough flush will be of greater value than any improvement in hose tubing. however if you must silicone, do this: bend aluminized or SS muffler pipe in the general shape of the...

excellent advice. in this case we are going low tech. the principle crack in this case runs at the 6 o'clock position on the front output shaft opening. im going to use some high tech epoxy Devcon HVAC or equivelent, and build a "cast around the output opening. inside and outside to stiffen...

ive never seen a spec. tight as the dickens is a good place to start. if you have clean , chased threads and new pinch nuts ( you have bought new ones havent you?) 14x 1.5 pinch lock try 60 pounds. just to squeeze the bushing between washers is the goal and keep it from spinning on the...

further note II, i talked with my hillbilly welder evil companion /neighbor/ partner in looniness/ friend, tonite. on some cases we are going to try an aluminum epoxy , filling all stress fractures from inside the case to stiffen them, and to hold the crack from spreading (hopefullly). his...

a further note the pickle we rocktrac fans have now found ourselves in is this: most or many of the rocktracks will have stress fractures or outright cracks in the cases. the case i bought from a kid; he complained that "the case was leaking". i finally borught it out that he had shoved his...

yikes! you made it work! fans in front of the radiator? im assuming the engine is so far forward tbecause you lined it up with existing driveline dimensions?
