Or the same hub adapter with flex plate:

Smike weren't you saying you wished you did the flex plate as well or something? Looks like $100 more for flex plate option.
Post by: M4wdFab on March 05, 2013, 04:38:23 PM
If i ever do another one, id go with the full flexplate. I never had input seal issues till this motor. you have to drill out new holes on the existing plate to make it fit. Small change i screwed that up enough to make a seal angry. Not worth the hassel of chance to not do the flex plate next time.

half the price would be because you have to spin them in the drill press with an air grinder to take off a few thou so they fit and function in the 380 head

Post by: GBR928 on April 08, 2013, 09:45:37 AM
Mike and I got one Superjoint installed, it was a PITA. Ruined an O ring and snap ring (Need to call Yukon to get more). Not the best design IMO with small chinsy o ring on the ID of the cap that has quite a tight tolerance on the spider and rips quite easily. Also spider body is too large to remove caps without destroying for rebuild. Hopefully these last a good amount of time.

Post by: mr.mindless on April 08, 2013, 01:05:07 PM
Thread in 3/16" or 1/4" whatever right size bolt that's 1 1/2" long, full thread
Expand full circle clip w c clip pliers and work out of cap groove without fucking it up. Or fuck it up to remove it and replace it on reassembly
Remove cap from cross by threading bolt into hole, bottoming against cross and using the hardened cap threads to draw the cap out.
No pressing, no bottoming.

these caps take about a dozen full arm swings with medium sledge to get them to go in. Both mine and matts shoulders hurt and that was two guys (some what intelligent) fudding with one shaft for and hour. they dont seem to care about getting beat on. it took us 5 times of watching the video on how to even get the C clips inside the yoke with the cross in before you get the caps in.

they must stuff about 15 in fully inflatedbefore they mount the wheel, and then stuff in like 5 more flat, but inflate them inside the tire to fill everything up. they probably have about 20psi in them. slime is used for lube to squish them in.
Apparently Bill Bared has a special monster press he uses to mount and dismount with them inside.

i got both of mine from ebay using char lynn P/N
Ah I was searching the gerotor part number not the assembly. Prices are higher than PSC through most online distributors for CL #211-1050 but there are def a bunch of orbitals on ebay i have to sift through.
Found a series 10:

Going to call about displacement as it is a two speed. Good price on eBay though.

axles centered up and rear suspention full welded. soon as exhaust is back in, should be ready for rip around #3 at a good pace

But lots of flex when crawling and lots of flop and roll action since installation.

Good potential issue that got brought up in my pirate thread. Seems to have happened on a bunch Of rigs with fans blowing on fuel cells. Cell ends up acting as a heat sink and in turn boils fuel under vacuum at fuel pump inlet. Cavitation ruins pumps after awhile.

we had the coils sitting on the dual rates- i was dumb and didnt notice that. Front needs 150s swapped from current 100s uppers, a wee soft but should be fine for a trip
front 60 yoke is about the same clearance as 571 to the engine sub ::)
the 3 / 5 gages that work are not hooked up-
no tins but floors and fire walls 95% done
no tins roof or hood
wires and hoses tidy'd up
Do list:
Link nuts, adjust front pinion angle / placement / front brake line ties near coils
Fix hydro hose ties
Fire wall piece behind petals
seats need to be bolted in, harness tabs need to be welded in
shocks / bumps need to be air'd up
should at least have water temp and hook oil idiot light up
mount winch

needs fuel
no gages
no tins

They actually seemed to hold tight for a while... and I was def not diligent about the grease.
I noticed major wear after water wheeling... walts especially.
Biggest difference IMO is your wheelspeed VS Mine.

Bump pads made in the rear.
Limit straps ordered from Trail Gear.
Needs panels and spare tire mounted.
Might build an anti link twist bar on the rear lower links if I have time and the 5/8" rod ends come in from Ruff Stuff in time.
No swaybar really makes the car twist in the rear when you punch the gas. Need that as well!

I'll get something started.
The "tube mount design is just a 90 deg bend in some plate that uses hose clamps to attach to the cage and or the extinguisher.
But it can be substituted for a flat mounting plate instead.
Like this.

gage vendor though summit sucks- terrible support. 2 gages DOA
2 weeks to send back, they claim no issues, but decided to change two of the lenses because they were worn (new in box gages)
temperature sending units are very fragile, not really for racing.

Found metal flakes in fluid (needs flushing) I assume this is from the pump I wore out with my old non load reaction orbital. Never flushed for new pump/load reaction orbital put on.
Going to add a filter and a non remanufactured pump with something better than ATF as a fluid.
Some of you run the Tractor Supply stuff? Anyone have specs or details on what type? Heading there tonight before the FLX meeting.

schematic shows how the return fluid goes into the reservoir after the cooler.
This allows any air to rise to the top. Air free fluid is pulled from the bottom of the reservoir into the pump.
reservoir should be the highest point of the system.

P185 pump is what we want
P185 was available in 97-99 chevy Medium Duty trucks with a 6.5 diesel.
most "P" series saganaw pumps will put out between 3 and 5 gpm depending on flow mod and pump shaft speed
keep in mind there are different stile P pumps there is the p132 and the p185
the 132 is the every day run of the mill p then the 185 has the larger ring and rotor (it pumps more oil) which is like the "1400 pump" from PSC
there is only one true way to tell the difference between a P132 and a P185 and that is to compare the ring and rotor (the P185 ring is .200" taller)
*** most re builders seem to use the lower flow pumps in applications that were factory high flow ***
top pic is 185 bottom is 132

Cut apart the filter and see what it looks like.
Are you sure your orbital isn't something funny, and dead-heading the pump when not moving the wheel or something like that?

We don't really have any volume change with the double ended ram but something funny is obviously going on. I think if I were you I'd garbage pick a high pressure gauge and keep an eye on the supply side pressure to see what it's doing, might give a clue or confirmation?

What CI/turn orbital though? Load reaction?
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
I don't know what my orbital is.
Smike found it on Rausch forum and I bought it for $80.00 ;) hooked it up and works fine.
I understand the difference between stress and abuse of rec wheeling vs racing.
What is a load reaction orbital?
Nah nevermind.
I'll let the engineers sort it out.
I'll just go back to rec wheeling.
Best of luck tjis weekend guys.

Same as smike. Stock saginaw housing but I put a remote reservoir in the system.
Would constantly suck air from the stock housing cavity and burn out the pump.
After 2 bulls hit reman pumps to get me going again I broke down and called PSC.
Lance said never use the stock housing with the remote reservoir. It needs to be the full sealed housing with high pressure line and return below the top of the housing.
Also ended up having to place large hose clamp around entire housing with RTV to ensue no air leaks.
Been working great ever since.
I'm just trying to help.
I'm not trying to tell you what to do.

Some progress updates:
Took the car out to Johnson Valley OHV for shakedown at KOH 2014. Had zero issues wheeling all week other than shearing the pillow block bearing flange after nailing a rock just right on the front shaft on Chocolate Thunder. Got another one at an industrial supply place in Palm Springs and went and spanked CT at night instead ;p

(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/30/gu9a7a6u.jpg)
Raced the Coal Bucket at Line Mountain as well but broke a shock shaft due to having improper wobble stop on lower rear trailing arms. Thought we could get away with mounting shock below centerline of the trailing arm. That's fixed now...
(http://img.tapatalk.com/d/14/07/30/zu8age7u.jpg)
To do list:
Gears lowered to 5.38
Lower hood line
Sway bars
Tune shocks
Make transfer case shifters (yes we just leave it in low and go!)
Stronger pillow block bearing
Make car lighter for Ultra4! 4800 lbs with 32 gal of fuel, 37" tires, and me in the car!

On my 6.0 I took a thermostat and cut the plunger thing out of it, just leaving the plate with the hole in it, It slows down the water in the block to allow it to pick up the heat but does not let it run too fast.
Thermostat is not really necessary on a buggy.
It turns out that plain old distilled water has the highest specific heat of all liquids commonly used for coolant. Water has a specific heat of 1 - meaning one pound of water can absorb 1 BTU for a temperature increase of 1° F.
A 50/50 Ethylene Glycol / water mix has a specific heat of 0.5, meaning it takes only 0.5 BTUs to raise the temperature of 1 pound Ethylene Glycol / water mix 1° F.
A 50/50 Propylene Glycol / water mix has a specific heat of only 0.3.
Therefore, it takes twice as much heat to raise a pound of water 1° F than a 50/50 Ethylene Glycol mix; and over three times as much heat to raise a pound of water 1° F than a 50/50 Propylene Glycol mix.
Ultimately, what this means is that straight water can carry away 50% more heat than 50/50 Ethylene Glycol mix and 70% more heat than 50/50 Propylene Glycol mix per degree per unit volume.

I keep at least one gallon of antifreeze in my system (that's probably ~20%) to help with galvanic action, rust prevention, and because I don't store things above freezing.

Post by: mr.mindless on August 04, 2014, 02:04:03 PM
Get a hydrometer and test it and get an actual accurate number for like $5.
Or here's a chart. Looks like we should probably aim for ~35% in our climate with low temps almost never hitting the 0 to -10 range.

I'm looking at 1 to two week with "near freezing" temps (might get to 32 over night). In the summer it is nearly always 90+ with lows in the upper 70s. In my case I could run straight water (with some type of additive to help prevent rust) from Feb to Dec. In Jan I would want to add a quart or so of AF to avoid frozen coolant. The upside to this is more efficient engine cooling system. The down side would be remembering to add the AF and flushing the coolant every spring.
Right?
Is there any real advantage to the engine life/efficiency? Seems to me that this would be "better" for the environment as there would be less chemical dripping from my various cooling systems. Granted the coolant drips are much smaller than the various forms of petroleum drips…

Now the ford ('11 focus) is definitely running hotter. Still under trouble temp (last odb2 was 224 after longish drive). That likely just need a coolant change as its looking darker than normal (but definitely not oil contaminated).

Whoa you were up late! Thanks though! A 10 mm union and some fuel hose I'll be able to pass tech!

needs assembly, then 5.3 stumble fix, then left side trailer door fix...

Sucks it's still stumbling.
Fitting broke on the remote? I have a spare from my bad shock that I'm not swapping onto my right front any time soon if the remotes and fittings are the same. or if it's a hose issue that's probably a straight up spare.

Going to try to access OBD tomorrow to find which cylinder is misfiring.
Went through ignition system with a spark tester. All good. Thinking possible bad injector now.

I had one in the Jtruck The dash winch switch shorted in the rain over night and engaged the winch to pull. The hook was on the Bumper D ring. It tried to pull until the winch motor over heated and melted. Truck started the next morning. That battery is 10 years old and still in service in my enclosed trailer.
I bought a new one for my buggy. They are unstoppable. But heavy as F#$K! 75 lbs i think.

I don't think I have seen 220 at LM. Only time I've seen the temp light is when my fan failed and I think I have that set at 230. I'm usually down around 210, I think.

I'm not running a tstat either. Airflow isn't the issue either since a seat was pulled in KY and the car still overheated right after the main. Looking at more CBR stuff today.

moving too fast= complete BS
yes. why does this myth continue to live on? :o
would you ever say that you are moving the AIR to fast?
A common misconception is that if coolant flows too quickly through the system, that it will not have time to cool properly. However the cooling system is a closed loop, so if you are keeping the coolant in the radiator longer to allow it to cool, you are also allowing it to stay in the engine longer, which increases coolant temperatures.

When I was at GM i had a thermal test bench that we used to test the Fuel Cell coolant pumps. I had years of data that said "higher coolant flow = better cooling.

We couldn't get it started in the trailer again, so it got drug out and pushed into the shop with the shovel.
couple hours later, found some melted wires grounding out the ecm causing no spark through the oil idiot light.
fired and locked again. pulled #8 and continued fuel poured out. determined stuck open injector electrically, then pulled and mechanically verified.
someone at work suggested changing the oil if a known fuel flooding situation occurred. pulled oil drain. watched 2 gallons+ of fuel spray out. holy shit
swapped in another injector, ran a few minutes with an oil change, drained and changed oil again.
Ran like a rapped ape again on 8 cyc, broke another 4130 stub at wrangler ave.

Post by: M4wdFab on January 31, 2017, 10:01:50 AM
1999-2003 4.8, 5.3, 6.0 all had a fuel rail with 3/8" supply line and a 5/16" return line. The fuel pressure regulator is on the fuel rail, and has a vacuum line to the intake manifold. In 2004, truck engines went to a single 3/8" supply line, with NO RETURN LINE (returnless) except 5.3L L59 Flex Fuel vehicles. For 2004, Flex fuel engines KEPT the return line, BUT used a fuel pressure regulator with a lower pressure ratting. 2005 5.3L L59 Flex Fuel engines switched to a single 3/8" supply with NO RETURN line in 2005. Non flex fuel engines, fuel pressure spec is 55 to 62 psi with vacuum line disconnected, fuel pump running. 5.3L Flex Fuel engine 2001-2004, 48-54 psi with vacuum line disconnected, fuel pump running. 2005+ with returnless fuel rail all shared same fuel pressure spec, 55-62 psi. There is no vacuum reference on these, so fuel pressure should remain constant under all operating conditions. The computer is programmed differently for fuel flow rate depending on type of fuel rail.[/b] This is important to know when having a PCM programmed. (exception: 04 express van and 04 trailblazer/envoy still used return style fuel rail, 05+ single line, retunless rail)
