Jrock's New Build

[John Doe]

Any links to tapered nuts to replace the cone washers and nuts on the steering arms?

Good luck with that, I had asked someone about this before and I was informed that you need to make sure that the taper is identical on both the arm and the nut.

But if you do find a source for the right cone nuts you could make a lot of friends very quickly.

I'm on it


I was putting around my local metal scrap yard and came across the front half of a semi frame with a Detroit diesel and..... Bam!

No idea which one this is yet, but it's the AC from the semi, so it's likely the 210. Plus, it's got the serpentine pulley!!!!

[Wainiha]

What does that mean?  Arctic like AC in the truck?

AC like air conditioning :p

looks like a York 210 to me  Need to hit the yards and find one myself. Jerome- it was good meeting you and your dad at Observation Point. That puppy must be getting big

HAHA, it was goo meeting you too. I love putting faces to the words and names.

PS, that wasn't my dad That was Fordh8r, a long time wheeling buddy

[HogCanyonHopper]

whoops. I did it again. I was thinking of Edwin and his dad.   

[fordh8r]

Thanks, but I'm pretty sure that even I don't look old enough to be his dad.       

[HogCanyonHopper]

  Fordh8r, I am sorry about that. I think I got it straight now  Hope to see you guys next year at the Round-up 

[fordh8r]

No worries. It was good to meet you too, Bud. 

[jrock]

Anyone ever done this? It's working but it's taking for ever.

3/4" welds and pounding the crap out of them to counter the contracting weld pool. Waiting till it's cool to the touch and welding again, and jumping around so I can get at least two welds in at a time.
Started with,

*Ok, I can't post pics right this second due too TapaTalk being stupid.

[jrock]

Reassembly,

[fordh8r]

Did it leak without the welds or were you just building it back up?

[jrock]

There was a dowel pin hole that had been half cut off and that lined up with the cutout for the ring gear. The rest was for the hell of it, I wanted more meat down there.

[Slolyfe]

Make sure you flush the crap out of it with wd/clean oil. There are lots of tight tolerances in that locker.

[jrock]

4 cans of cleaner. It better be real clean. Plus, a couple cans thru the housing

[Stlstrs]

I wanted more meat down there.

Don't we all.



I'm sorry, I just couldn't help it.

[fordh8r]

Thus why I rarely use the word "meat". 

[jrock]

You guys are terrible

And the axle should be going in today. Fingers crossed.

[jrock]

Axle went in and the eLocker was manually stitched to lock, wheeled it hard and nothing unlocked or broke. Sweet. A wiring harness needs to be built for the eLocker but for now, I'll just drive it in the locked position, can't really see why I'd need to unlock it really






Someone managed to destroy a Dirty30... imagine that...


This HP isn't as HIGH as I thought it'd be,

[HogCanyonHopper]

have you considered the cable conversion for the e-locker? seems like a pretty reliable set-up.

Who makes that?

little bit pricey!!

[fordh8r]

That's a pretty nice piece. I'd be tempted to get just the actuator for $300 and just make it air operated with an air cylinder. 

[jrock]

Cable actuator is way too pricey. Air actuator is too complicated with too many parts. I've got the wiring, I just need to pick it up. And itll be installed but I'm in no hurry

These elockers are cool, they stay locked indefinitely until the switch turns it off. Cool

[jrock]

Well I'm giving this one last chance. I'll Cryo a set of gears and hope for better luck. Snows coming and I'll simply stick to that. Next break is 60s.

[John Doe]

Any idea what caused the ring gear to go out?

[jrock]

I was super bound with my passenger front in an undercut trying to backup. It was beginning to lift my rear end (not realized until after) on top of that, cheap no name gears.

[tgmaul88]

dang on the hp elocker?

[jrock]

Yup. I think it was due to cheap gears. I still can't believe I haven't broken an axle or something else.
