Plowpile for mikemike

mr.mindless:



Plan to brake clean and JB Weld the oil pan. One pinhole. Rest of it put up with tapping.



Trans electrical connector has a drip on it. Not certain if that’s the leak point or not. Needs more fluid still.

Exhaust is open manifolds. No O2 sensors in play. Driver side plug not immediately found.





Would love to find this for a 2500 for $150 or less. Will probably patch up existing crossmember.

The nut ripped out, he jammed a bolt in there to hold it off the bump stop a little.

Frame issue detail:

At top of work light, which is sitting on lower a arm.







Proper patch would require removing swaybar and this bracket.

Could bandaid by tying swaybar bracket back to bottom of frame, but that’s not a full fix. Would Need to check steering clearance. Doesn’t help the inner frame where the steering idler is mounted.

Thoughts appreciated.
I am thinking it’s worth a couple hours, but not much more. It’s a few years from other parts of the frame disintegrating anyway but it would be good to keep the plow well attached until that time.

Will need a few brake lines if I want to keep brakes on it too. Need stock of brake lines!

what a rotbox.

if it hasn't been done yet, swap the thermal 4x4 actuator to cable pull actuator.    https://4x4posi-lok.com/app_chevy-k.html

mr.mindless:
If there’s any issue there it’ll get hard locked in. Doubt it’ll ever leave 4L again

I goofed, crunched the cross member testing clamping the key in place.

Wingman:
OMG, scrap that pile! You're signing up for an enormous and continual headache.

Find a truck, then find a plow to put on the truck. This is equipment you'll need to depend on.
