    Sm465 clutch fork has massive amount of play

    yeah that’s makes sense, and i’ve been driving the truck everyday to work, it’s my dd. i have the pedal setup to start to disengage the clutch about 1” of down travel in the pedal. this morning i pulled the carpet back and could stop the rattling noise by putting my finger between the rod and...

    Sm465 clutch fork has massive amount of play

    yes by adjusting the rod i can no longer shake the clutch ford by hand, im thinking of pulling off the rubber boot and sticking a camera in to see what the mess is. the transmission has paperwork for a rebuild transmission about a year ago, but that was before i owned it and a lot can happen...

    Sm465 clutch fork has massive amount of play

    the rattle seems to come from the clutch rod going through the floor board. if i push the clutch pedal in slightly about an inch, the chatter goes away and so does the headache.. would replacing the pivot point bushings help this? or does there seem to be internal damage as well

    Sm465 clutch fork has massive amount of play

    i got a 75 k20 with a 350/465/205 set up the clutch rattles like an AK while you’re driving down the road. anything from idle to cruising. i checked out the adjustment rod that goes into the clutch fork and i could literally pull it out of the socket with my hands.. i don’t know how it was...

    swapping gear ratio in the 14 bolt??

    i measured out the gears and it turned out to be 4.10s instead of 4.56s can’t complain but still not the best for a daily driver. 350/465/205/4.10 33” should be a decent enough setup for now. thanks for the responses

    swapping gear ratio in the 14 bolt??

    would something like 3.73s be suitable? that would put me at 55mph and 2000rpm

    swapping gear ratio in the 14 bolt??

    is there a good company that i should go with? i’m not looking to gain more speed, fastest i’d want to go would probably be 55 or 60, feels like i’m pushing the truck just to get up to 50

    swapping gear ratio in the 14 bolt??

    33x12.50 tires 17 wheels it’s next up on the long list of fixing stuff, but i don’t know if there’s any difference between the dana 44 axle shafts, or what seals i need.

    swapping gear ratio in the 14 bolt??

    i’ve been daily driving with the sm465 and 4.56 gears for a while now and i need something more suitable for everyday use. my mileage came back at 8.3mpg and i need to get my rpms a little lower while cruising. not to mention how slow i am speeding up.. right now i don’t use 4wd as it’s missing...
