if i get two fabricated 9 housings one off set to the left and one off set to the right, i can build any off set diff car, front or rear engine, passenger diffs or driver diffs on both sides.... hmmm
Post by: mr.mindless on June 04, 2012, 04:02:43 PM
isn't the 9" pattern reversible, too, so there is no right or left drop, just an offset (ignoring drain and fill holes I guess)
Post by: M4wdFab on June 04, 2012, 04:09:37 PM
big choice is going to be spendy light 9's or do 14's i have to do some reading on both, but one will happen.
ya i was thinking pass diffs but after Ryans comment nothing says i couldnt flip the other 60 i have, weld on solid C's corrected and run it. new car will stay 4.10s in 1:2 70-80mph is plenty fast in the rocks :)

Post by: M4wdFab on June 04, 2012, 04:21:29 PM
With some shock tuning and good steering I don't think it would be too used up and would be a top contender. You can really drive these days, no doubt about it.
So am I fired? :)
571 might do the last RCrocs race with the motor as is. im not going to put another one in it right now.
you are fired for 572. :'(
plan to start bending tube in 2 weeks or so. Time to build the car i should have built, the way i should have built it.

Post by: Ryan on June 04, 2012, 04:24:50 PM
Rausch style racing, would the 14b hold up better than the fabricated housings?
Post by: M4wdFab on June 04, 2012, 04:27:16 PM
my thought with running the 14's the wrong- it way would be as strong if not stronger than a 60
Post by: M4wdFab on June 04, 2012, 04:30:29 PM
going 9's would be a huge weight benefit taking a ton off the car

the points of interest, articulated poorly compared to a guy who lives and breathes axles.
- the 3rd bearing is a pure bandaid. the first 14b didn't have it and wasted pinion bearings constantly because the spacing is simply too close
- the 3rd bearing is usually hosed when a 14b is torn down. It's undersized for the job required of it
He strongly prefers a Dana 70 center section. In my eyes you surely can't beat a 14b for ease of setup among the big boy axles, and as I said their track record really really doesn't suck - they're just really not actually the holy grail, unfortunately.

Those knuckles do not look schrong
Hope they're only half done.
I guess I made my point. I would not take the time to build some crazy front one of a kind axle only to have it break.
The only weakness I see left in a HP60 is the Ring and Pinion. Replacement parts are off the shelf.

there is oil / sand / sludge behind the throttle blade
the oil pan is clearly cracked where the oil filter is crushed from some sort of impact
the main crank / balance pulley has been destroyed with a gear puller of some sort and appears to have been re assembled- its hosed.
one of the idler pulleys and stud is missing
the starter motor and nurl bolts are missing
4 coil pack to plug wires are missing
cut wires on harness plugs, but i guess that was shown in pics
missing alternator as advertised
4 broken bolts in driver head as advertised

its just so annoying to be nickle and dimed with all the little stuff. Even if i had a crate motor sitting in front of me, it would be twice what i just paid for this hunk to make it "Complete"
99' 5.3 LM7
i am guessing somewhere around 1800$ for a short block, 3000 for a long block, and 5K for a complete crate to drop in and bolt up no issues.
That's also leaving out EMS

I ask because i was shocked how much damage the belly of my buggy took.
I think low slug, lighter material and having a lot of belly surface area was the issue.

That is the bottom of the car, right. Not an actual subframe. Its like Atom was, not like yours and mine are now. That square is the from itself.
I would say its both.
Im just hypersensitive to belly size. :)
Im rebuilding mine like a battle ship!

race at RC and 5/6 races you might give boggers a second chance.
I always thought of Boggers as being heavy and sloppy.
But I know they work...
And stepping up to 44" are you going to need deeper gearing?

Groove them and Run them at 2-3 psi for rec wheeling.
Air them up to 10-15 for racing. Maybe more as they break in.
Indestructible.
Best quality tire I've ever owned, and im 3rd owner.
Sure they are prob obnoxiously out of balance but then again what tire wouldn't be after a race at RC?
U gonna need gears though! :P

Explain to me why you can't cancel a check? Seems like recourse to me. They don't ship you cancel payment. 35$ cancel fee seems way cheaper than a grand lost.
afaik, most banks will not reverse the check after its been cashed. if they will, it will take a lot of convincing.
canceling a check before its cashed (thus creating a "bad check") is different from reversing funds.
Post by: M4wdFab on June 19, 2013, 09:33:09 AM
ive filed multiple paypal claims against sellers who never shipped parts. it doesnt matter what the price is or how "cheap" i cant afford a total loss on the purchase price. its just not worth it to me.

no, in my experience paypal was good and is the only way i send money for parts. they refunded my money twice when sellers didnt ship. the money has to be sent as payment for good (seller charged the paypal fee) in order for the transaction to qualify for the buyer protection (ability to file a claim)
Post by: mr.mindless on June 19, 2013, 10:11:19 AM
I don't pay for goods from unknowns with PayPal balance or bank xfer. Only CC. Then if PayPal stiffs me I can reverse charges.
I learned that with a $40 Jetta grille. thankfully not something more expensive. By the time he really didn't ship he'd withdrawn funds. He never responded to the PP inquiry and lost by default but had no funds in the acct. he just lost the use of that account. Weak.
As for that situation? Hope it's fine. If its not fine it's flushing funds. Being a pirate deal there are always plenty who would help "enforce" if it went south so I'd worry way less than other avenues.

Smike, look up your year make model on ebay for remote start bypass module(s)
But, if your having the PCM flashed anyway for other(s), then he can just flash out this too.
Im having remote start days flash back... I think its just a resistor value.

The 1999 LM7 engine produced 270 hp (201 kW) and 315 lb·ft (427 N·m), 2000-2003 engines made 285 hp (213 kW) and 325 lb·ft (441 N·m). The 2004-2007 engines made 295 hp (220 kW) and 335 lb·ft (454 N·m)
so stock its 15-25hp more, tuned it might even be more of a difference. they figured out how to cam away EGR on this gen also.

If it's a static cam, that's got to be bad for it in tuned form in my mind. Unless they did away with the need for it entirely on the tuning side

Buggy rips hard, no issues still. trans seems to not care on near vertical climbs. The deeper gear of the 4l60e and way better shift points along with the 5.38s make this thing feel like twice the power to the ground as the other car. is pretty silly with your foot down.
Fixed the case leak last night, two pin holes in the PTO cover rotted out- swapped with an SM465 PTO cover i had laying in the shop.

Sometimes I can't imagine what was going on in their minds. Any newer engine is going to be running 100% cleaner even without all of the emissions than the older exempt engines. Why put a restriction on it like that? Stupid NY.Isn't all about the $$? How else can they justify the constant increases in fees (aka taxes) on any motor vehicle?
But I digress...

couple small known issues that occurred
popped rad hose that was exposed, new aluminum straight neck in hand
bent rear mid shaft ( pillow block needs to move further back and shaft material upgraded
broke limit strap eye day 1 obstical 1, possible mounting issue
PSC ram loose internally
left header flange contacts plug boots cracked a plug, coil is grounding out somtimes- meh
slammed knee on orbital mount in otters trail, need to fix or move or pad better, no good.
front suck down loop broke off, needs more steel
bent front track bar, needs more wall
several rock bounce attempts inside shoot the moon exit, had to turn Rs in mudd with bounce assaults on right side. that trail is nuts now.
All 3 cars made it up both talismans today. i gave up on lower, then gif and jeff made it, so i hit it harder and made it barely with lots of Rs and smoke
front end needs more shock tune too bouncy going slow

define welds broke. I would think the material next to the welds broke. your welding looks good.

plenty of guys on 44's that dont brake those. And with way more HP.
I would think the pinion at the yoke would have broke first. Or maybe the 1350 joint at the axle end.
I think he got a defective one.

Same I was sure it had to be the spider gear welds. Upgrade to 300m doesn't sound like a bad idea though. Might try and get a spool with that upgrade?

Post by: M4wdFab on December 09, 2013, 09:24:07 AM
Ill look at spool costs. id say the weak link is still the stock rusty front 84 GMC drive shaft with one semi dry original 1350 ujoint that was in said drive shaft when i picked it up out of the scrap pile lol. it is 5.38 times less ass there and really only 300hp on a cold day. A ring gear running backwards or the shafts still have to be the weak link.
300M and maybe a spool will be the fix. needed a fluid change and a diff cover bolt guard is near in the future
for what i have done with KRTs in the rocks, i dont think it was defective. anger and HP could not break them at least 2X

probably have a 4130 shaft warrantied- either sell the set or keep as spare. Then just get another full 300M set because no sense in having 3 spare weak shafts.

287$ option to upgrade the shaft to 300M, or free warranty of the 4130 shaft.
the upgraded 300M kit has 300M CV's so ill just warranty the shaft, and get another full set of 300M RCVs.
he was very supprised to hear 300hp and 44" tires broke a shaft. same response copper fab gave me when i was the only guy to break one of there sway bars so far. Cant wait to break a solid knuckle next!

they are available for 231’s D300’s, Atlas etc…
I would think.. if you use a pinion brake at any type of speed the DS is spinning a hell of a lot faster than the wheels with less mechanical advantage...

That parking brake makes more sense than driving brake. I would also expect they require some type of balancing too.
I'm thinking 573 (should she ever exist) should be built on rockwells. Then we could start a pool on how long it takes Mike to need new shafts.
2" diameter shafts... I think it would take him a bit longer with those.

OK, so, moving rig has kinetic energy, kinetic energy must be turned into heat, rotors must absorb said heat. Big deal, so what?
Well, the equations that follow are used to calculate the temperature increase in the rotor for a given kinetic energy. Remembering that kinetic energy depends on weight and speed, they also explain in incontrovertible terms (big word – means you can’t bloody argue with me about it!) exactly why “pinion brakesâ€, flat out suck, and why Patooyee’s rotors keep trying to melt off ! Remember – to add insult to injury “pinion brakes†are often used on Rockwell-axled rigs – which are big and heavy, and weight is a multiplying factor in the equation for Kinetic energy.
[As an aside – the previous discussion on brake torque also explains why some feel that pinion brakes work well “at slow speedâ€. It’s because the rotor is placed before the axle differential, meaning the pinion brake’s brake torque is calculated as above and then multiplied by a factor equal to the axle ratio. This means, even with small callipers and rotors, they can develop tremendous brake torque. But – remember what we said about the requirements of a braking system – it must also have sufficient thermal capacity – and they simply do not. In fact, they’re dangerously inadequate in this regard!]
Post by: jaysenodell on December 11, 2013, 03:58:36 PM
As a bonus, the loss of critical mechanicals and rotational weight at the wheels would seem to provide in increase in responsiveness (albeit small) and longevity.
That is just from the outside looking in though. I would still think an automatic would be prefered to keep the drivetrain happy in a panic situation. That won't fix any related diff explosions though.

Next weak link. R&P
we talked about this, and dont forget- i running a 60 R&P on the coast side backwards. good thing though if that blows, ill just cut out the center and put a 14 section in with all the same parts
umm 14 bolt front...
Are the splines the same from a 60 to a 14b? or upgrade to the 40 spline...
Wait you are running a chevy front correct that is upside down?
So actually you would be running on the drive side of the gear.

Q: What's wrong with pinion brakes?
A: Nothing, really. Pinion brakes are awesome but there are some things that need to be understood about them. The main thing is that the reason they are so effective at stopping a rig quickly is that they use the Rockwell axle's deep gear reduction to multiply braking effort whereas a conventional axle has the gearing working against the brakes. But in exchange for this multiplicative effect the pinion brake spins 6.72x faster than a conventional wheel brake would. Thus, roughly about 6.72x the heat is developed to stop the vehicle. At 30mph braking at the pinion is very similar to a normal wheel brake rig riding the brakes at over 100mph!!! So pinion brakes are really good at stopping a rig quickly but not for long periods of time. If you don't ride your brakes coasting down long hills or go fast a lot then pinion brakes are probably great for you. But if you drive on the road or wheel at places like Harlan, KY pinion brakes probably aren't the best choice.

What I read was orbital needed to be "behind Cowl"

gotcha.
Mounting is certainly a concern but I think we'd all be safer with something like this (at least in cases where the throttle cable is able to be pushed on - 571 would need a different cable for a toe strap to be of any use), like the monsters are required to run

decided the welder is buried and packed so sealing up the new WP heater outlets will be a hassle. Throw new gaskets at old pump with everything cleaned up. what a PITA to line up these gaskets without the bolts falling out. start car, fill coolant system, and still has small drip in same place but not pouring out like before. motor starts making horrendous high pitch screeching sound with 4psi oil less than normal now. after 20 min of searching, the hose i rerouted ( i think PCV from left head) into the manifold that was causing my throttle to stick on is now causing all the noise in the intake, the motor running like shit, and the oil pressure. i have no idea, that hose is hanging now and the manifold port plugged. ignoring the coolant drip for now.
had not planned on a late night.

piled in a tree hard. REALLY HARD. felt fine, then noticed car was squirly and going strait driver side wheel was towed out 20 degrees limped a little 5th lap with a motor that was starving with a caked air filter.
solid high steer arm looks like a candy cane. no other damage.
over heated motor from my paper towel stash clogging up the front of the raidiator.
was passed by about 4 cars on course.
go pro lasted entire race but was mud covered in the first 3 min.

some front shock tuning would help also.
i hit 46mph on the cobble stone chop straight in front of the pavilion, and that was comfortable enough to look at the gps....

shit is HD and took a little bit of muscle to get it on but all good.
both king pin bushings were exploded and bits.
Post by: KingtheZJ on June 03, 2014, 08:16:11 AM
like you said, bronze would be nice, but having a little give somewhere in the system is probably good. since the nylon ones are a $3 part, might just be a replace every 2 races kinda thing.
Post by: mr.mindless on June 03, 2014, 08:48:57 AM
So it has a bronze bushing in there?
Breaking things to get give where things should be tight doesn't seem ideal to me. I like the idea of bronze and no springs for tight steering all the time. It's not like that 1/8" or less of give when the plastic shatters is going to help prevent catastrophic failure.

king pin spring eliminators installed.
still have nylon, but no springs.
I didnt really know if it was fine because of the 10 degrees toe out i still had.
There is nothing else to break in my front axle other than the spindle, and that means RCV shaft damage most likely- bah.

Probably bend the spindle first and not know it until the bearings explode...

mid shaft in the car is a good spare, but it has a slugged section, with the failure of plug weld designed removed. i have 3/8 wall DOM to replace it but having a hard time coming up with a way to adapt while maintaining strength. have a few 60 pinions laying around, 1350 yokes are 50$ each
im tempted to go back to original 2" 120 wall tube to 14bolt yokes, with a slug of 7075 inside of it to keep bending down
Post by: M4wdFab on December 10, 2014, 09:55:06 AM

front shock limit straps settled on with a new pair that were 1" shorter than i guessed initially.
shocks and bumps charged
ecms mounting done
Front Resivior mounts done
locking oil dip stick and mount done
light weight integreated breakdown triangles / rear reflectors done. sweet design implemented.
front diff got first 2 quarts, need more gear oil
steering cooler swapped to full cooler
light bar and mirror mounted
running out of big things to do. a few pains left and new tires to mount. doing well.

My guess is that triangle mount might not fly. May appear to on coming traffic that you are broken down.

I got the idea from Bill Barids car. very similar, except his exhaust runs though the middle of the pinned triangles.
the black part in the center of the triangles can be folded down 90 degrees to make them self standing, or 180 degrees to stake into sand / ground. 0.050" aluminum and cotter pins for quick no tool release.
i think its well with in the rules.

Erik- i think im going to change the air filter gaurd to the bottom like you said. such a simple thing that has stumped me- will fix easy removal, dust shield on bottom, and look way less obtrusive to the car lines.

your car being in the way is also a risk, especially since i cant really see behind me. at all.
Tonight start good, turned bad, returned to good.
pulled the rear bench seat from the 4500, made a carpet covered deck, mattress fits much better now. Rear tool box removed. Radio antenna mounted to headache.
Stripped out a rear wheel stud locking down lug nuts on the car.... added spare front / rear studs to the parts pile and spare lug nuts....
packed car tool bags and on board spare parts.
pumped out matts car. 11 gals of fuel is FUCKING heavy.
added back my remote fill to the car. no way you guys would be able to fuel me safely without it.
packed and packed more. Matt and I dropping 4500 at regional 8am for sticker.

i also added 1 cubic foot of foam before KOH which could have disrupted internal plumbing.
once the plow truck burns all the fuel in the cell, ill remove and dissemble the entire cell. rebuild with all new parts, and put a renduant pump / filter system in as backup.

Found RCI cell internal hose disintegrated at walbro tee, sucking air 5" above bottom of cell. This was our running out of fuel at 22gallons used issue at KOH.
All foam removed and cut into smaller pieces. hose replaced with some other upgrades. Walbros in good shape.
Fuel system no bubbles with 4 gallons in the cell now.

regular PFI hose is NOT submersible. The ethanol rated coating inside the hose is very thin and weak, strengthened with a not rated external fiber reinforced shell.
rubber submersible hose is very expensive, like dollars per inch- i used some to connect my walbros inside the cell. it was in great shape.

found a broken rear slider bolt! new failure, suspect wreck wheeling slammed calliper up i guess?
also found a huge chunk of black rubber gasket material blocking filter inlet. going to change filter and pump, call that fixed for now.
not sure my plan for 2" fox bumps is going to be a bolt on swap. the can lengths are much different and i was bottoming on the end of the bump in my design. might just run as is for now, fix can mounts for IN race.
rear shocks and limit straps pulled for Fox 2.5 install

motor sounds reborn with 60psi of fuel instead of 45. filter was being blocked by a 1.5"x.5"x.5" hunk of jello gooo inner hose gunk.
Fox 2.5 rear CO's installed
rear slider bolt replaced (pulled spare that was in on board tool bag)
front pinion fixed and welded
fire ext replaced from brolite

swapped back to old bump setup- new foxs are too different in length and will cause shock crashing. fix TBD

all joints had crushed/worn misalignments as 90% of play. looking at the thickness of the design, i think its just weak and crushes with race prep torque. see how the SS work. i didnt go nuts and only torqued with impact instead of 3' bar hump.

Post by: M4wdFab on July 09, 2015, 04:41:55 PM
60 is also 1.5"and of course 35 spline.
Post by: Ryan on July 09, 2015, 05:09:47 PM
35 spline would be a strength downgrade from the factory 14-bolt 30 spline layout, so I'd be surprised if anybody will be offering them as a standard-production item.
Personally, I think if I had to have that, I'd make it out of a set of D60 side gears, a stock 14-bolt carrier, some tube scraps, and a bunch of welding wire.
Post by: M4wdFab on July 09, 2015, 05:28:03 PM
I also have $6K in axle shafts that are 35spline. could spend 2K on 4 more custom inners, that would be much lead time to replace.

Eric peterson pulled over to let me by, i went through some tall grass and found a 24" tree stump. hit hard. thought the car was ok but soon after the rest of the chassis mounted front 3rd link mount let go. i thought it was the front R&P so i continued to run at reduced pace on lap 3.
the link slamming around eventually took out wires that killed the motor. severe damage, front coilovers, shafts, bump and steering damage, front drive shaft yokes beat.
2 hours to strap it to mobile and limped rest of 3rd lap.

heard what sounded like one of my headers fell off, then got sprayed with hot coolant. Hans and fire suit kept from steam burns on my back and neck. 2 fellow racers helped pull me out of the car fast. in the moment i was looking at the wrong dam gage and couldn't understand what was occurring. Radiator fan blade blew off motor. pinned gage, probably motor damage with this one.
Magivered one of my trans coolers in front of the radiator which allowed me to drive at 260-275 in 1/4 mile bursts with a cool down of about 5 mins off.
2 fast consistent laps, short cutted out to camp on lap 3.
no fuel issues to report.

My first fail, motor bearings failed and seized, this one the blade assembly vacated from motor shaft. Mine is very protected and stays clean.

Boooo.
Probably do compression check after confirming no electrical issues, then pull that head, its the easy access side. it will be less than an hour of work on that side, and either a new head would fix (if combustion chamber isnt box of rocks) or with the top end removed, maybe the motor would lift out without chassis cutting. meh.
Post by: M4wdFab on October 03, 2015, 04:43:44 PM
plug is black and wet. still a cold hole with plug swapped.
not sure what that means? going to pull exhaust manifold and watch valves on cranking.
addition 5.3 doner or heads for 6.0 build acquired. 4l60e 4x4 core also came with it. 350$ complete

What is common, if you have a very high mileage engine... is low compression across the board. Low usually means anything under 120 PSI (although the service manual says 100 PSI is the minimum). If your engine has reached this point... it's also smoking from the quart of oil it's burning every few days. The other symptoms you'll see is that the idle will be very rough.
Post by: M4wdFab on October 05, 2015, 06:59:02 PM
coil pack, wire, plug swapped to another cylinder, work fine after some at work suggest spark loss under compression.

Racing is getting tiring, id really like something with summer plates on it that can take my abuse
If your going to sell 572, just repair the the tranny, let the new owner sort out the rest.
I agree that a dual purpose rig would be nice. But the fact is you crossed over to dedicated off road vehicles. Thats hard to come back from. No way could i tolerate 100:1 gear ratios and slow wheeling. Thats the only way those dual purpose rigs survive.

21. No movement in any gear: pump failure, or total loss of fluid. Remove transmission and rebuild, or refill pan and find the leak. If out of fluid, avoid running the engine until the transmission is refilled to avoid pump damage. To check for pump failure, check fluid level with the engine off, then start the engine and recheck fluid level. If level does not go down when engine is running, the pump is broken

Post by: Wingman on February 21, 2016, 10:07:50 PM
The "range sensor" is primarily for P & N safety switch and idle bump when in gear. It also provides dash with info for display.
All of that to say the trans will operate just fine without the "range sensor".

prerunning i hit something the hardest i ever have that threw the front diff 3' in the air at 30mph. worse than the stump hit that failed the 3 link. kept on it, found another dented diff cover when returned to pit.
no race issues, treated the car like a stole it entire course, almost ran out of talent on the back straight near 81 but stayed in it and powered out of loosing the rear end down the ravine. Trans performed as it should with new pump install. power of car more than adequate. looked up and saw 67 in the woods straight the instant before letting up far beyond point of fear.
3 link feels loose, would like better brakes and front shock package is still a mess at low speed chop. seems to be best at 40mph over 6-10" chop but that takes commitment.

The rear gear set in 572 was in 571 racing for 3 years, and now has been in 572 since new. its broken 2 stock 14 bolt shafts, and 1 yukon chromo shaft, 3 rear drive shafts, and a transmission. the thing has been zero maintance since new and still looks new lol
I have looked into the Jana70 long ago. dana70 parts are very expensive, custom bearings also. it makes gear changes 5-600$ and spool costs are were crazy when i looked into it.
i plan to do a full 40 spline conversion and 14 bolt center chunk, salvaging my solid knuckles and 3/4 ton brake kit, PSC ram / steering tire rods / Artec arms. The build will require new housing / truss, gear set, 40 spline spool, 40 spline Branik 300M shafts, CTMs, new Solid C's/kingpins, 40 spline hubs, 40 spline spindles and bearings, 40 spline drive flanges, 14bolt inner axle seals, 14bolt 1350 yoke.
its gona hurt but i dont see any other solution to my gear set issues and RCV issues.
Post by: TrailTamer on October 25, 2016, 10:08:25 AM
Have you looked up "super king pin" Reid just released? Huge knuckles to run 05-up Ford D60 unit bearings and have more room for even bigger RCV joints (I think Rockwell sized) and the stub engages into the unit bearing directly so no drive slugs needed (similar to as dodge ball joint D60 unit bearings)
Also there's a good thread on which 14b housing will be best to use. I'll find a link to it shortly.

that stub's got to be like that to get rid of a drive slug or lockout hub, I'm guessing?
Correct. Engages the hub directly.
Edit: and no more stub shaft bearings in the spindle to destroy.

found a huge fail on my part tonight. when i changed out the hub to one of the ones i got from chris, i didnt notice he took the outer bearing snap ring out to swap to his new hubs. outer bearing race slipped in 1/2" and no preload on the hub bearins. caused seal to leak. i almost left it. shaft and rotor only holding wheel true. shurly soon to failure.
found snap ring in old cut up hub in scrap pile, new seal, cleaned and assembled.
found a lot of link bolts loose tonight.
attempted to seal MC cover
lube job.
Have two tires to break down, mount 2 treps this week, fluid check, tool bag check, fuel.
plan to load Tuesday or Wednesday.

#8 exhaust dead COLD- looks like a new plug fixed it and running back on 8 again with some learning needed.
front output (rear 205) yoke replaced, drive shaft got a new ujoint and installed
front 35 spline drive slugs need replacing soon. tons of slop in splines. grabbed a slug from joes parts pile and fits 80% tighter.
front spindle nuts re adjusted
full grease job.

severe blow by noted.
white, black, blue smoke on throtle rip
unplugged MAF and it also seems way happier on speed density
not sure blow by source but sounds good and def running on all 8 again.

motor running great but blowing hard smoke
lots of flogging this weekend and still functional/

gear set in great shape.
Put the girdle cover on Bret traded me. not sure i like it- i don't have a set of pass through sockets to properly tighten carrier cap nuts. also seems like it will be a one time use once the front gets smashed by rocks and becomes un serviceable.
brakes / hubs steering seems in good shape. not sure what to occasional grinding noise is i was hearing.

Install four non-locking ½ x13 nuts, 80 ft lbs. I made a ¾ socket with the back end hand ground like a spark plug socket drive to reach the nuts. You then drive this socket with another socket and torque wrench.(http://www.jantz4x4.com/img/girdle/2.jpg)

they sound HORRIBLE but thats not the sound im worried about.
You're not touching them because RCV will not warranty them until after they break completely?
Post by: M4wdFab on June 02, 2017, 01:35:39 PM
they are too expensive to maintain, i have broken 5 shafts including a carrier damage. the splines are now so warn i have about a 80 degree difference of travel tire to tire.
planning to just run them till catrostrophic failure then sell the bits with the other 4340 set of RCVs i have.
Matts have ~500 miles on them and are starting to sound like mine.

found water pump dripping from shaft seal. changed used spare from trailer. leaking from back bolts. ran to zone for a white box and changed that with success. that was at 10:30. Packed and prepped trailer, window net, pumper. nothing else prepped meh.
Post by: M4wdFab on June 11, 2017, 09:25:47 PM
half mile later the carnage spread to a 14bolt yoke, rear shaft, air bumb, chassis damage, and gouges in my fuel cell enclosure.
swapped sway bar links to trackbar location after a 2" difference fit was eyeballed, drove the car out in 2wd to the road and back to the property.
Post by: M4wdFab on June 22, 2017, 12:04:29 AM

stripped down and almost prepped for swap. planned out how its going to happen. should be more than enough room to slide back, lift, turn 90 degrees and pull motor out of top after most of it is stripped down in the car, fuel cell, exhaust, sway bar, and coolers removed. rad and light bar should be find to stay. dont think its going to be the night mare i thought it would be, should have new motor running saturday.

3 broken exhaust bolts extracted from heads, water pump faces cleaned up, coolant temp sensor hole taped to NPT.

what are you doing with the old motor ?

Post by: M4wdFab on September 23, 2017, 09:49:46 PM
cylinder walls look mirror finish with no damage (cross hatches not visible)
I did find some pitting and damage on the 2 rear cam lobes and lifters
rotating the assembly, there is oil thats pushed up around the rings every rotation lol
John says the ring lands are probably cracked. all pistons you can move in the bore laterally 1/32-1/16" i don't know if that's normal with floating rings.
disassembling one of these things i have no idea how you could keep one clean with the intent of putting it back together with fresh parts. everything is dirt covered even with continuous shop vac action as you go.
Post by: mr.mindless on September 24, 2017, 12:03:53 AM
Interesting about the bore condition and oil intrusion. That seems like a lot of piston play but I think LS are known for piston slap when cold.

pulled the head and found a hand full of broken burnt plastic bits. both cylinders also had smashed bent spark plugs that im 90% sure were fine when i put them in. cylinder walls look surprisingly ok on that side. John says maybe mice got in the intake and chewed it up, debree got in and bent some valves.
might be a candidate for a freshen up and confirm that i hate building motors once more fore the cost of a head gasket, bolts, and a head. too bad i scrapped 6 of these heads 2 months ago. FML
note to self! add real mufflers and a radiator to start cart for a good functional check. 10hrs labor lost so far bah!
motor pulled again, ran over to johns- he had a 5.3 on his start cart ready to go and fired up for me. 150lbs on all holes. 300$ and sitting prepped in my shop ready to go back in tomorrow. could have killed my self tonight and got it in but decided not to. noticed i may have damaged transmission lines / fittings during this process, so i am going to tend to that before there is a motor in the way of easy trans pull.

aired up some tires tonight and hawged a few laps around the property tonight at speed.
planned rear diff inspection and fix a slow leaking cover- found 3rd pinion bearing support in the 14 bolt smooshed over to the side. all else looks good preload wise and gearset wise in the diff.
front has a broken diff cover bolt so that got pulled also, all looks well in the front. will get an 1/8 turn on the king pin preload and new gear oil. found some sweet cracks just about all the way around the truss near 3link loading. will get a grind and weld and 2 small triangles added.
lube and fuel and good to go.
