Willy Mammoth · December 10, 2005, 03:57:36 PM

Quick update, I am working on the manifold hoping to have it done this weekend so we can get ready for a camping trip next weekend.

This is going to be another one of those masrer pieces I am know for.

This is why you don't want a high pinnion in the rear.

So what was all that scrap metal doing in your diff.

Willy Mammoth · January 22, 2006, 08:13:21 PM

Something to do with no oil at the outer pinnion bearing was causing it to squeak.

See the one roller that has a flat spot?

Rocksurfer · January 22, 2006, 08:26:41 PM

I see that one and it's kinda flat there. I've always wondered how they supplied lubrication to the bearing in the up position especially when you lift your rig and have to cant it up even more to get the correct ds angle. It's bad enough when you have a regular pinion position to keep the bearings lubricated when you tip the 3rd up.

DTB · January 22, 2006, 08:30:10 PM

sooooo....the mammoth's out of commission for now? or do you have a spare?

Willy Mammoth · January 22, 2006, 08:39:53 PM

The spare is been in it for awhile. Time to rebuild this one and figure out how to get oil to the bearings.

I am working on the details of that while the parts are on order from

of course.

I had to get some other goodies while I was at it.

How many miles did you get out of it before you discovered that? I've got a few thousand miles on mine, maybe I need to remove that cover?
Lator.....

I'm guessing about 3000 miles. The Rubicon (MCR4) and all the other trail rides. A lot of hwy speeds plus it got water in it twice with syntetic oil.

Looks like the pinnion is ok and all I need to do is put new bearings in it.

79coyotefrg · January 23, 2006, 09:51:56 AM

hey i bet you can reuse that bearing

79coyotefrg · February 26, 2006, 07:18:31 PM

Lady Di · February 27, 2006, 05:49:54 AM

Willy Mammoth · February 27, 2006, 03:43:13 PM

If I could only make up my mind which one I want to use.

Well woman

$I\'m Down$ a womans work is never done. Remember Brainlesses good marital advice. Do as your husband tells you

OK, we have MrW and Nosey checking out the supercharger as Mark runs it up on the lathe, and a couple pics of him starting to get it installed.

Rocksurfer · February 28, 2006, 01:47:14 PM

So now you gonna start breaking stuff with that supercharger?

Just hope it isn't the engine.

I think it will only really come into play under hard acceleration and heavy loading. The gears will keep it from overloading the engine off road.

I think?

I was concerned about the heat the turbo was going to build around the master, booster and floor.

Now I am concerned about proper pulley size, blower speed and air flow through the engine.

They use this same SC on Honda's to full size V8's so I am guessing I should be able to make it work.

I called Paxton today and they are of no help. "We don't have an application for a diesel, sorry"

I've seen those metalic blankets over turbos before, maybe you could find one that would fit over your sc to stop the heat transfer, or build a heat shield.

Shouldn't be any heat created by the sc. Turbo's generate heat only because the exhaust is what spins the blades, a sc is belt driven.

Willy Mammoth · March 04, 2006, 08:13:59 PM

Got the new 5.71gears installed today.

I would not recommend anybody else use 5.71's and defiantly not Precision Gear at all. The work I had to do to get the pattern anywere close was BS.

You should never have to use .218 worth of shims to set any gear and the pattern is spotty, it doesn't use up the whole tooth.

This is only the second set I tried, the first I stripped the ring gear bolts out and sent them back.

It is early to tell, but looks like this gear ratio may help as I can now stay at speed in 4th gear and even think about using 5th.

IronClad · March 04, 2006, 11:10:13 PM

what gears did you install in what case? v6 case takes a bunch of shims to run the SHP("4cyl") gears in them..
