You didn't give him the feedback he wanted to hear - maybe fix thatcommented in his last video about obvious issue of shaft between 205 and allison. he friendly told me to get lost.

only feedback he takes is free parts with free labor and maybe donate about 350 so he can fix the shaft with his tranny man.............You didn't give him the feedback he wanted to hear - maybe fix that![]()

Yup. And when you don't know what you don't know the best course of action is to just ignore it all and listen to people you've vetted personally.ETA: he is kinda continuously inundated with reddit-level advice
The problem is when you don't know enough to do that vetting so you listen to whoever reinforces your preconceived notions...Yup. And when you don't know what you don't know the best course of action is to just ignore it all and listen to people you've vetted personally.

This guy has a bunch of random people of various skill levels shouting at him (plus whoever he is working with in the background).
I mean in that case, most any of the opinions would have worked, but there was a whole bunch of options to choose from.Yep. Just look at any thread here. Or go and look at the original McBallgargle thread on PBB and all of the "advise" that was thrown out and pretty much being demanded that he take. There are 2700 opinions on how you should do something. And every fucking one of them is correct, according to its author.
The best thing about the Internet is that it has given everyone a voice. The worst thing about the Internet is that it has given everyone a voice.
To be fair, he did build a sub out of plywood before seeker. He just about had it fail.Give the SV Tweeker guy that carbon toob from 'splodey sub guy![]()
Seems to be happily living rent free in FL at this pointDoug kill himself?
I haven't checked in for a bit
If I read the comments correctly, he is running it in low range and thinks he needs extra cooling?I finally watched the welded transfer case video.
He's for sure from Tulsa.
I guess I missed it, why is he running hydraulic fluid through the transfer case, filling it with 90W is too easy?
I think its because the TC is sitting 90* from normal and the input is running "dry". The idea is to pour the incoming fluid in the top and bath the input.If I read the comments correctly, he is running it in low range and thinks he needs extra cooling?

Why? External waterfall of oil not result in it getting slung into all the same places as an oil bath from below?it is problematic at best to get this to work.
In our case it was keeping the oil levels consistent with out scavenge pumps for each compartment.Why? External waterfall of oil not result in it getting slung into all the same places as an oil bath from below?
That's what most of the videos have been about. Whatever needle valve he added last time supposedly got it tweaked to where the oil level was staying consistent. Before, he could get it pretty leveled out, but as soon as he the changed the prop pitch, hundested would change flow and either drain or overfill the case.In our case it was keeping the oil levels consistent with out scavenge pumps for each compartment.
When roading the rear axle would fill completely, spike oil temps over 500* and melt gears.
Well predictably the super short drive shaft overheated and spit all the needles out in the first real test.This welding idea is DUMB.
I really don't know why the didn't just connect the case to the trans with a splined coupler.
The implementation of the TC just went wrong, good idea and needed but bad execution so far.
Watching it now and yeah not really.Haven't watched it yet but doesn't look like anyone here will be surprised.

He didn't die but totally wiped out the 205, ordered all new parts to rebuild the 205.didn't read
did he kill himself yet?
Or is he busy installing a new spare tire mount on the back of the house ?
You can't tell him anything he is smarter than anybody else because he used to work in ITHe didn't die but totally wiped out the 205, ordered all new parts to rebuild the 205.
I could be wrong but I don't know if the 205 is as much as a problem as it is taking up too much driveline room and running everything at the ragged edge.
You really needs to build a planetary gear reducer or buy a SCS single speed box.
or just put a manual with a clutch in there. He runs the Allison in high gear so it doesn't build heat then uses the transfer case to slow it down. what he needs is a 1st or 2nd gear. He's being stubborn using the cheap parts he got from the bus 10 years ago instead of getting the right parts now when he has a real budget.Watching it now and yeah not really.
I don't understand how he has not come around on this yet. I also don't get how he just hasn't swapped the Allison for one with the correct ratio...
I work in IT and and I'm smarter than everybody and even I aim for the center of the "shit will for for this" range.You can't tell him anything he is smarter than anybody else because he used to work in IT
