1) Side nerf bars added and tested.
2)Rear brake lines replaced and rerouted with protection added.
Working on:
Shifting / Rev limit problems.
After some hots laps in 4lo and 4hi, I noticed that the tranny shifts perfect in 4hi.
In 4lo the tranny will hold 1st until 4500 RPM and sometimes beyond (rev limit)
I looked through my wiring diagrams and found that the NP241C has a ball switch that shorts to ground when the case is in low range. This signal is sent to the PCM to to tell the tranny it has adjusted shift points.

Turns out that my super fancy removable subframe/skid plate was not up to the task. It looks like it took a huge hit right in front of the tranny mount and bent the whole belly upward. The transfer case was mounted closer to the cross member so it did not move. The motor mounts are crazy strong so they did not move.
So it was like breaking a stick over your knee. It point loaded in the middle. "SNAP"

I like the lower gearing combo of the tranny and case.
Just need to over build the subframe this time.
Speaking of, Smike can you get any size / wall tube?

Now I just need to figure out my low oil pressure.
So, low oil pressure is from cam bearings that got hammered.
Theory is that I had too much oil in the pan and the crank was splashing into a froth.
Aerated oil is not good for an IC engine.
Post by: M4wdFab on July 18, 2012, 12:27:41 AM
Post by: gif on August 20, 2012, 03:01:38 PM
I removed the engine for repairs and cut out ALL of the subframe and skidplate.
I got the engine back with new cam bearings and started mocking the new subframe. 2x2x.25" wall box tube with .25" skid plate. I'm going for beef, screw light weight...
I also changed the tranny mount so that its not part of the lower subframe.
I hope to have this thing ready for Big Dogs.

Installing the engine and tranny is like a bar puzzle now.
Post by: gif on August 23, 2012, 08:15:53 AM
Most of the little mods are done to allow for the new chassis.
Transfercase comes out the top now. I made the scatter shield removeable.
also built a type of tranny mount "sling" to keep everything off the subframe/skidplate.

Broke the front drive shaft 1 hour into the first day. boo. but some thin wheel work and parking lot welding and she was good to go for the rest of the weekend. thanks to smike for the use of his welder.
Rear axle hub seal leaks now.
Front pass side upper link mount took a beating, still works, but not pretty anymore...
change/top off some fluids and shes good to go.
I think on board air is next for this pig.

id skip on the crawlers, most people say the KRT is 90% of the crawler with 10X the side wall.
for a wreck wheeler IROKs or Pitbuls, or SX's seem to do the job if you dont drive like you stole it... which apparently i have forgotten how that works.

I had to use way more Simple Green than I normally do to get them to slip on the rim.
Took me 2 hours of fucking with it to figure out I had to douche the thing to get it to go on.
But they look great on a 10" wide rim. Thanks Ryan!
1 down 3 to go...

Its crazy slick on tire rubber. I picked up a new bottle today to do the last three tires. The new bottle has a "foam" setting.
They went on easy! My old bottle must have been thinned out.
As a bonus it cleans your tires and rims...

How did the Reds do?
REDS are the shit!
I need to learn to drive them. My weak link is no longer traction! :o
I guess I need to upgrade my rear driveshaft joints.
Im going to need new 35 spline stubs for the front too. I thought those were going to be the first to go...
Got to pull the tranny and get it rebuilt. was slipping bad in REV.
But I was getting lazy picking lines because they were going up everything.
The rear driveshaft was case in point. I was hard into a big rock on the front axle and gas it to try to roll the rock (J truck style ::)) but the REDS did not slip one bit, so BANG!

I scored a Ford Super Duty front driveshaft and a front shaft from a late 80's blazer.
The Ford shaft is a great source for 1 ton parts.
First, the CV is a true Spicer 1350. Next the Slip yoke is also a 1350 with a 1.5" 16 spline.
For my use I need to mod the flange to mate to the stock 241 output flange.
Post by: gif on June 01, 2013, 10:23:59 PM
The Ford center hole is only 2". So I had to open it up to the GM 3.125"

On my driveshaft the slip yoke is a Ford 1350 with a 1.5" 16 spline and uses 1/4" wall tube.
I rebuilt this shaft to have as a spare. This time I used Spicer 1310 non greasable u-joints.
I could see obvious break points at the grease fittings on the joints that blew apart.
I know it will hold up to a lot of abuse, however I wont trust this shaft for crazy heavy use as I have learned...

USA Standard shafts are made by Yukon - same materials, process, plant, drawings, etc. The U-Joint area specs aren't met. Meaning they won't hold a CTM or other aftermarket joint, so they are downgraded to USA Standard. As long as you are fine with running Spicer joints, this will never be an issue. They are still strong and etc.

Gave me a quote of $400 for inner shafts and joints only. Lame.
I never understood the quote forums. they NEVER give a better price than what is listed on the websites. stupid..

Noticed the bottom of the axle was getting thin. In fact the bottom most bolt for the cover was ground off.
I added some 1/4" plate. Not bad for upside down welding.
Should be good for a few more seasons.

No Issues other than a dented rim from running back to camp at speed with low tire pressure.
It did well. :)

Bushings suck. I thought they would absorb the vibes as not to feel it in the chassis. But they cant take the load.

Bushing do not last in a buggy. No lube or anti twist will help. Smashing the axle back and forth destroys them. I am anti-bushing in anything that sees moderate off road use.

For what ever reason I had a spare. http://www.summitracing.com/parts/fra-311040/overview/ :)
During our high speed runs the brake line got pinched between the upper link and the chassis. That means I bottomed out the shocks and the bumps Time to increase the charge on both. Also need to clearance 1/2" on the chassis to allow space for the hoses and brake line.

also adding mechanical stop to brake pedal to stop pedal stroke before bottoming out master cylinder bore.
i have found that in a panic stop situation the brake booster allows for enough force to bottom out the master cylinder.
4) heat shield to block heat soaking from coolant fan blowing on the fuel cell.
only a small part of the cell is exposed to the fan, however i have noticed a pressurized fuel cell spitting gas out the vent tube.

Question about brake system volume?
Can you achieve more volume to the calipers by increasing brake line diameter?
Or swapping in 1/2 ton calipers on the 60?
Sent from my SM-N910V using Tapatalk
Post by: M4wdFab on August 03, 2015, 09:25:44 AM
smaller diameter pistions on the calipers would be more travel but less force. i changed to 1/2 on the 60 front and dont see a difference. i do notice my rear brake pads are wearing 4X as fast as front.
Post by: JEEPWERX on August 03, 2015, 01:46:21 PM
Velocity or volume?
Smaller lines should flow less volume but more line pressure?
And vice Versa?
Just curious.
Need to address 2 pumps necessary on buggy system.

pressure is Force / area is all you need to know. with a MC, you have stroke and bore. we run E350 MC that have 1 3/8" bore and about 1/2" longer stroke than the corvette MC. your brake pressure is determined by petal force / bore area... your stroke x bore area is your volume you can push at that pressure to your calipers. There are many "areas" you can adjust to change any of these things. bore, stroke, petal geometry, caliper sizes, booster or non booster, ect.
Hose diameter does not effect any of these things (negligible). a 3/16 dia brake line has more than enough volume to work on any of our systems with out causing restrictions that would slow up "petal feel" or create excessive heat.
2 pumps? are you talking fuel now?

forget about efficient and velocity. a braking system is basically a static system in our use. yes there are things like heat and cavitation but ignore that for now....

I was lazy and did not return the PSC power steering pump. So i installed it.
Steering is back to 100%, maybe even a little better...
I did take it apart first to inspect it. It is a new pump, not reman. It looks to be built for PSC based on the stamping i saw on it.
It has the pressure and flow maxed out to the P132 pumps upper limits. 1500 PSI and 4-5 GPM
I will confirm this with my testing equipment once i get it set up.
This will be a good test for my buggy because I can buy a new P132 pump (standard automotive) and modify it myself to get the same results.
At a cost of $42... not $166 form PSC.

cooling system worked great.
almost too good, system was running so cool i think it was bumping back into open loop mode.
Needs a little fine tuning on the fan controller.
Steering was perfect.
Brakes were great.

i checked the amperage draw on the alternator with fans on high and lights on. 74 amps !
Stock alternator is 105 amps
Ordered a new 220amp alternator.
Post by: gif on September 20, 2015, 09:36:55 PM
This one is sold by Powermaxusa.
Specs: CS130 220 amp @ 1200 RPM
They use an overdrive pulley to do that.
i installed this alternator and tested it for amps,volts,heat.
Results:
Idle @ 675 RPM: 105A / 14.5V / 238 F case temp
@ 1500 RPM: 217A / 13.8V / 252 F case temp
This alternator runs extremely HOT!
Next, I started recording CAN data and let the engine come up to temp and heat soak everything.
I found many voltage drop outs.
So, back in the box it goes to be returned.

Hope to get some more lathe time

I gotta do the same - but need to consider chassis side mount changes and clearance to front skid and exhaust at the same time.

Goal: remove all the crappy ballistic joints and stop bending the lowers.
All new 7075 T6 aluminum links installed. 2.375" lowers / 2.0 " uppers.
that was a lot of work... but was half the cost of buying them made to order.
thanks to smikes lathe!

Passenger seat belt latch kept getting jammed. I think it gets dirt and small rocks in it. Need to replace with better restraints.
buggy was perfect this trip

just change to 39" reds or the Pirate hammer might get you :) no 39 reds, although the KR3s are now a 40 x12.50 actually
