Your making great progress Tim! Let me know if you need help installing the T-case I can swing by with the transmission jack

Press it into place! Tcase is easy...

Like a glove. Thanks for the help today Bobby.

Sweet!

Nice. Just missing a unicorn

Garry, Jeff, & Rob came over for Chick-fil-A this morning. Then this happened. Turns out, I didn’t have everything needed to finish, but we will get it ready for the Platte River lunch on the 10th.

Also Rob helped get the trans cooler lines built and installed. Down to a driveshaft and exhaust once the rear springs are finished up.

Awesome! Bummed I had to miss out.

Finished installing the new springs. I’m guessing they added about 4”-4.5” compared to the stock springs. I had lift blocks on the rear and the new springs raised it about 1”-1.5” over how it was sitting before.

Nice man- can’t wait to finally see this in motion. Hopefully at the Platte River Grill?!

That’s the plan

Looks BOMB Tim!
Welcome to Club LUBR!!!

Thanks to a long day with Jeff, Garry, and John yesterday, we are almost ready to roll. The lift is installed, exhaust fits better than it ever has, Garry fixed a wiring error of mine, and we figured out my hubs have some issues. I’m dropping off the driveshaft to get cut down tomorrow, new hubs will be here Wednesday, and then I’ll finish topping off fluids on Thursday.

We got to hear it run for the first time in several months. So pumped to go for a drive later this week.

That's awesome! I may not be able to make it Saturday...have to get the house ready to go on the market.

That's awesome news Tim!

Huge thanks to everyone that’s helped with the 4r70w swap, especially Garry for getting me a new trans harness so quickly.
We got to go for a ride today. The new spring make a HUGE difference in the ride. I’ve got 3.50 gears and it seems like it is hunting for gears a little, but I may just need to stretch it’s legs a little more. Or there’s a gearing change in my future. Either way, right now I’ve just got some wiring to clean up and a few minor adjustments to make.

Awesome! So glad you're back on the road.

That's awesome Tim!!! Glad to see you out driving it again.

Nice! OD is awesome.

Sweet!

Mine isn't useful until about 60mph but I'm at 4.56 on 37s. Turns 1800 or 2k rpm at that speed, which is quiet and lovely (for a trail EB)

Glad to see buddy back on the road !

In an effort to get rid of the play in my steering, I’ve jumped down the drag link/tie rod rabbit hole. Got the old linkage out, and attempted to read the knuckles on the truck…oops. Sorry Garry, I owe you a new reamer.

So, time to take off the knuckles. While I’m there, might as well exchange the c-bushings and radius arm bushings for some new poly ones. The look much nicer, the 47 yr old. rubber bushings have seen better days. When we got the front axles out, it was very obvious that the u-joints are shot. So that’s on the list now. While I have the axles out, I might as well regear right?

Welcome to the spiral.

Two words...Dana sixty. LOL!

Nice upgrades Tim! Are you regearing because of the new automatic transmission ?
