Thanks. I only use this truck several times a year for hauling. I hadn't maintained it well over the 20 years I've owned it, so I decided to fix as much as possible while it was down with a failed transmission. There's still some work left, but it drives great and feels more reliable.
This truck needed A LOT of work because I hadn't maintained it well the 20 years I've owned it. I finally was able to put everything back together, start the engine, and run through the gears; it seems to be shifting great so far.
Here's a list of everything I addressed over the last 4 months as...
Yes, the only plastic washer is a selective for the pump.
In addition to what's included in the Jegs 555-62014 kit, here are the new parts. Hopefully, I didn't miss anything critical:
- Bronze thrust washers
- Torrington bearings
- Low roller clutch
- Intermediate roller clutch
- All bushings

I thought it would be prudent to replace the...
I finally got around to disassembling the TH400 because the truck stopped shifting out of first gear and has been sitting for months. The valve body's plastic accumulator piston is shredded to pieces. Hopefully, the internals are in good shape and the rebuild will go smoothly.
My truck's TH400 2wd transmission leaks when parked and slips after it's warm. I replaced the vacuum modulator, pan gasket, and filter less than a year ago. I found what appears to be plastic chunks in the oil pan and some fine metal debris. Governor gear is fine. Thoughts? Am I looking at a...
Well, the seller didn't respond to my request for pics, so I took a gamble and made the purchase. The switch that arrived today matches my original, and my AC appears to be working just in time for the sunny and warm weather we're supposed to be seeing the rest of the week.
The part I purchased...
Thanks for the ph#. I hadn't looked much, since I'd read they were no longer in business. I could have gotten bad info.
The good thing is that the terminals are labeled on the board to which they're attached. I was trying to think of how I could make the four-terminal original switch I just...
