[CrazyYota]

IFS steering box $100
steering rods $120
rod ends $80 (or possibly free if my brother comes through)
pitman arm $60
heavy duty IFS box mount kit 50$
can i re-use the steering stabilizer hardware that i have or do i need that too? i have a new steering stabilizer (thanks carlos)
what else am i gonna need?

You can also buy the SKY Pitman Arm adapter Costs $32, allows you to use the stock pitman arm.

no i had a spare, now my spare has non, lol. went to rebuild the spare i had, its got a lil rust issue, but i cleaned it up and it will work in a pinch.
whats the difference between an IFS hub lock, and the stright axle one?

[*** YELLER ***]

IFS is auto

[brockbuilt85]

IFS is auto

not true, my 92 has manual. i think its a size difference?

[*** YELLER ***]

Im just guessssssing

[brockbuilt85]

Im just guessssssing

thanks for your input
i have a spare of both, but i dunno which is which

[beyondlogic]

the splines on the axles are different so the splines on the inside gear are different, just make sure you use the gear for the SFA not the IFS

thanks! so everything else is the same?

put on her wheels today and drove around the block, need to rebleed the brakes, cause there isnt much in the way of them now, oops. so im gonna get some fluid and do that soon. still running gutless, and having trouble starting cold. compression check is next.

[brockbuilt85]

it appears my brakes are working now, yay!
did a compression test
cyl 1- 115
cyl 2- 115
cyl 3- 115
cyl 4- 125
guess thats what i get for a hundred dollars
so, i know the timing chain needs replacement, if the timing is off because of a bad chain, would that affect the compression?
also, im looking at timimng chain kits with steel guides, are these any good?
any constructive input appreciated
and...... discuss

[subbrat]

YES it can lower compression. What you don't want to see on a compression test is one or two low and the others high.

so having them all low and about the same compression is a goos thing, and i need anew timing chain correct?

well, i finally got off my   and started the timing chain. so far it has been pretty smooth, but i still have not gotten the cover off.  will continue project and hopefully have it done by next weekend.

[BLACKDOG]

wouldya hurry up so you can come do mine? 

[brockbuilt85]

dont you have a 3.slo? yea, im not big on working on those, not even my own.

I've got my runner in the backyard with a blown hg.    Probably needs a full rebuild, but at the very least a new hg and timing chain

that my friend, sucks. well nows the time to do it, before wheeling season starts again! or do an engine swap.... i see 3.4 in your future? lol

[brockbuilt85]

ok, timing cover off, the one guide on the driver side looks like its about ready to go (which means i should probably take off the oil pan) and the cover had some gashes in it but it doesnt seem to bad. here are some pics, i need to get someone over here who knows what they are doing before i start putting it back together.

[*** YELLER ***]

   hello........ someone that knows what they are doing...... hello..... 

[brockbuilt85]

 hello........ someone that knows what they are doing...... hello.....  

probably matty if i can get him over here, or one of the opies

[brockbuilt85]

 
ok, so everything seems good timing chain wise, it does not look like it jumped a tooth, the guides are a lil worn but not too bad. this is not good news as far as im concerned because i dont know why my engine is running as gutless as it is. this is my situation-

truck wont start right away when its cold

as soon as you hit any sort of incline it bogs down, no power.

other than that it seems to run fairly smooth, but when revs down to low idle it wants to die

all this screams timing, but am i wrong? is it possible that the chain tensioner is worn out and that would effect my timing? what other things would cause this? i have decent compression, so i should be able to go up a hill in at least third. seriously, like 10 degree hill and i have to put it in second. i just want some ideas while i have this thing all torn apart.
thanks in advance

whay kinda presure do you have on the fuel pume

[brockbuilt85]

whay kinda presure do you have on the fuel pume

thats what ive been thinkin too, do you know how i check that?

[*** YELLER ***]

with a pressure tester....no i dont have one

[brockbuilt85]

well that sucks. ill start asking around.

[brockbuilt85]

[*** YELLER ***]

can you take the fuel pump off...or outa the tank, I can take it to rich and have him test it
