tech

Since a few have asked for 6l80/90 tech on my personal build thread I’ll start here. The 6l80/90 is a clutch to clutch trans which is different from the predecessors. More gears = more betters in my opinion….to a degree 1st gear - 4.03 2nd gear - 2.36 3rd gear - 1.53 4th gear - 1.15 5th gear...

So much old info out there on different leafs for samurais. Most just regurgitate "yjs or nothing" I currently have what I belive are Stock YJ rears in spua, and trail gear Sami rears up front also in spua. The front is working pretty well for my use and rides noticeably better than the rear...

I’m sure this thread won’t be nearly as popular as the 05+, but after some complaints in the other thread about muddling it with 99-04 discussion I figured at least start a small thread to consolidate info about these bastard child axles. If I quoted you or stole your info ...

I'm looking for info on the various full-time / all-wheel drive transfer cases out there. Either from a GM vehicle, or adaptable to a GM transmission. Looking for feedback on their durability in mild wheeling situations. Prefer a case with low-range. Currently planning my next project. I have a...

Buddy is LS/4L80E swapping a 78 gmc 3/4 ton. I was under it helping lay out where the 2wd floor pan needed to be cut to clearance for the trans, and noticed that he only has 3/8" to 1/4" between the floor pan and the frame, with new energy body mount bushings in place. Seems like not enough to...

Playing with this little RPC I got "free" with a machine a year or two ago. It's a 2/4 hp - 2hp starting and 4 hp max simultaneous total. I'm hooking it up to run my surface grinder and vertical bandsaw for now. But I also have a 20hp motor tucked away in the corner that I'll eventually...

If you came expecting tech, think again :flipoff2: Trying to rethink/redo some shit on my wheeling rig so i can at least drive it again, starting with the fuel system. What I currently have: 1991 Ranger, carb'd 351w, when I did the engine swap, I used a bypass regulator to regulate from the...

I broke my own rules and got froggy with my tow rig over thanksgiving and came home with a lot of slop in the steering gear. I priced out a Borgson box and shaft @ $1300ish. I plan on keeping the truck forever but am still a tightwad. Help me spend my money and effort wisely. I have a spare box...

Haven't seen any tech on this axle yet so thought I would start a thread, have done some searching and haven't come up with much all in one spot. Below is what I have found from searching on the internet the last few days, if anyone else has any details or corrections post it up. 2016+ Tacoma...

02. PO switched everything to LED lights. Been great for 5 years now. Last week, left blinker started the fast-blink-you-need-a-bulb situation. Right blinked fine but then stopped showing the indicator on the dash. BOTH blinkers were acting normal from inspection outside the vehicle. Then was...

1995 Isuzu Trooper FSM Above is a link to the IBB resource page I posted a 1995 Trooper FSM. As info on these gets harder and harder to find these days, I thought we should start a resource page in the Isuzu section. Post up your resources or links here!

I am in the planning stages to build a new frame aft of my cab mount on my 1st gen Tacoma. It's plated, has a bunch of rust holes and in general is a rusty flakey shit show, it will be easier to start fresh back there. I'm thinking 2x3 3/16, I built my front frame section out of this when I did...

I didn't find a thread based around TTB. With the truck I just picked up, Im planning to keep the D44. Normally I would pull it and throw a solid up front so I am in new territory here with the ttb. I'm open to anything to improve the front end basic or not. I'm looking at 4" drop brackets...

So spec'ing new leaf springs. What happens when they are too light for the load? When they are too heavy? (I would imagine harsh stiff ride, because no flex) So why do lift springs seems to bounce more? I would assume more bounce because they cannot carry the same load? So flex is good...

Looks like its time we need this, I was hoping it would take a bit longer, but I guess its a sign that builds are being done. So, for those asking about how their suspension numbers check out, throw it here. Preferably in the form of a screenshot of the calculator. Just trying to keep the bible...

Figured that with the talk of threads dedicated to specific tech topics, might as well get the ball rolling early. THIS IS FOR SOLID AXLES ONLY, NOT INDEPENDENT SUSPENSIONS. I will do my best to gather as much of this info below as possible. It should be noted that this is a collection of info...

I have an '08 Ram 3500 CTD 4x4 with 35's and the 9.25 front axle. The rig currently has about 100k on the clock. A year or so ago I bought Timken unit bearings, Spicer life u-joints, and EMF ball joints with the intention of doing pre-emptive maintenance. Well, the maintenance never happened...

Current Version: 6.10 All versions I have access to can be found on the Resources Page. Link to the linked suspension bible: December's Bible Build: Linked Suspensions Link to the Check My Numbers thread: How's my numbers? With the changes to the board, a goal was set of generating more...

Just had a bunch of overdue work done on our 96 4runner (timing belt, valve cover gaskets, all hoses and belts ect) my mechanic mentioned a new radiator, but I had already spent about double what I expected and it looked OK to me. So of course, the first time we head up to the mountains, the...

So after my first trip with my Ranger I'm looking harder at doublers. Current setup is 4.0/np435/205, D60/14 bolt with 4.10s and 38s. I definitely need more gear and would rather not gear the axles. ​​​​I'm capable of re-gearing but would like to avoid it, if you've seen my build thread I'm...
