Needs oil, shifter, trim pieces, jackstand removal, and a new rearmost ujoint. Needles appear to be gone on 1 trunion.

Newburgh NY? I could travel along 84 on my way home next Thursday if it helps anything. Don't wanna bite into Mike's sidework though!

filled it up, put the shifter and trim pieces on, drove to back to campus after lunch after making sure it went into and out of all 7 holes without issue.

Zero issues. So much quieter.

Clutch is much nicer for manuvering too. Its half organuc half ceramic; slips more kindly.

Need to do ujoint and check ac pressures. Lost effective cooling. Time to see how bad that compressor seal leak really is.

Ill throw a can at it, if that lasts less than a year it’ll get swapped and fixed right.

Ujoint was a total bitch but it’s done. 1555 joints do not push the cap free when bottomed out, by a margin of probably 3/8” or more. Annoying.


Pinion bearings feel loose enough to give a through check with parts on hand. Bah.
I don’t remember if I touched the pinion when I did the ARB install. I should have just had to set backlash with a carrier change I think? Don’t remember.

Bought another set of gauges on the road, found it about one psi too low to engage. Fed it one can, bought two for the road! Back to lukewarm tolerable air!

That 30 pounds in my garage right now was an effective investment.

Compressor, desiccant and oriface tube, please!

Ac is out again. Was sure I smelled it after I shut down at home after mg last trip. I was right.

Arb o ring is gone too. Compressor runs and air comes our the vent. Boo.

got this back from ARB
Quote
Typical service life of the o rings is many years. They are "bathed" in gear oil and typically last many years. I suspect you probably have a nick or cut in the copper line to the seal housing causing your major air leak.
We recommend a minimum air pressure of 70psi all the way up to 150psi for proper engagement and use.
O rings can be purchased through most vendors or 4 Wheel parts. They are p# 160246SP. sold as a pair.​

I guess we'll see once I can take the truck down for a bit. Probably check return policies and just stock up on all possible needed parts
- pinion bearings
- pinion seal
- find a speedy sleeve for the worn pinion yoke seal surface. I measured that last time I changed the seal, no idea where that went...
- arb o rings
- arb seal housing
- 5mm air line repair kit

and I guess an AC compressor, drier, oriface tube and some oil belong on a list too. maybe I'll put that off 'till spring at this point.
