The housing that the speedo gear plugs into is offset to accommodate the different diameters of gears available. Make sure that you didn't accidentally spin it to a larger gear tooth range. The numbers printed on the side of the housing will tell you where you're at.

In my opinion you get what you pay for especially with painting equipment. The cheap HF gun will atomize poorly and the finish will look orange peeled and rough. You can get the same finish if not better with rollers and thinning the paint.... Plus look at the CFM requirements of the guns, if your compressor cant keep up it is going to run constantly and push all sorts of moisture and oil residue through your gun and into your paint. Spray painting is best left to professionals or semi pros like me You do the prep and buy the paint, bring it by my shop and ill shoot it for free.

Jimmy,

This repair work we are doing on your rig, are we welding outside? If so we are going to want to run cored wire, which I don't have any of...

ok, those too options I think are a good idea. If your parting some of the stuff out, like hatch struts or w/e, I'd chop it, and just do all sorts of crazy stuff to it.

Sooooo, I'm dealing with a guy for a NP231 with a HD SYE already installed and a custom rear shaft for 6-7" of lift for 180. Problem is his input shaft is a 21 spline and mine is a 23. Is it easier to just use the SYE on mine or buy an adaptor for the input shafts?
