Is the 229 case from a 85 grand waggy worth anything?

Brake cleaner is a miracle cleaner. You can use it for alot of things aroun the vehicle, cleaning wise.

DieselD

Thanks. Just wanted to make sure.


Now, who knows where my keys are?

They're in the fridge, just dont touch the paint on your car after messing with the brake cleaner before washing your hands first.

DieselD

Found em. My daughter had stashed them in her toybox.

That's too funny

Putting in my sye kit on the 231.

I found these:





One piece was down by the oil pickup, there other fell off from around the shift slider when I was taking the mainshaft out. What is it? Do I need a new one? I also found ground up blue plastic by the pickup.

DieselD

Ok I found out they are the shift fork pads.

Next one, how can I check the tcase chain? As in making sure its not stretched?

DieselD

Where the hell do I get shift fork pads?

Quadtratec has a complete kit with all of 'em for under $10 I think

For that you need it still on the sprockets. If it hangs low, it be stretched. If you can squeeze it and the links will touch each other in the middle, also stretched

I like the look of my rig now with the stock flares on it but I currently rub at full lock, i know I could just trim that part but I'm sure at flex I'll be rubbing everywhere on the flares. Any suggestions to prevent this and keep the flares? Or just accept the inevitable and take em off and trim?

DieselD

Thanks. I wish they had em at the big chain parts stores... nope. Had to pack it all up til sometime next week. If 4wheelparts stocks them (there's one near me) than I'll grab em from them. If not I'll order from somewhere.

On the chain note. I squeezed it while it was on the sprockets, didn't know it was a test it just looked cool. Lol. They got awful close but it's also what dislodged the front shaft when I did it. So I don't really know how much was chain slop. It didn't hang low though.
