    SM465 to np205 clack-a-lackin when I get on it

    I am thinking it might be the power sleeve but she is "tight" going on the 10 spline input/output shafts. Sounds like it is coming through the adapter as I have yet to put a shifter boot over the four on the floor lever. It only happens when the driveline is getting full torque. Any ideas...

    NP 205 Input and bearing movement

    I had my transfer case out today and I tugged and pushed on the input shaft and the shaft and bearing both moved a whole 0.25" in and out of the case together! Does anyone know this tolerance? I suspect I am way out and that I may have been sold a T case with a missing shim or collar in the...

    Wiper switch ground wire location

    '84 blazer. The wiper motor and fluid pump are clicking when the switch is used with the ignition on. I think it is a bad ground. Does anyone have a general idea of where the ground wire is connected? The wiring diagram I have from the Haynes manual shows the ground right off the switch and I...

    Complete Blazer Bedsides Wanted

    Is anyone selling complete blazer bedsides anymore? Do the fleetside pickup short bedsides match up? I don't mind buying two fleetsides with no gas hatch and then finding the opening somewhere to weld it into the passenger side behind the axle. I see LMC truck has extended wheel arches but I...

    Welding problems

    It was the contact at the unit. The 4 or 5 square inches of contact area at the unit was corroded enough to stop current flowing down the line and making it try and go up the wire.

    Welding problems

    Yes right where it feeds into the weld wire sleeve it balls up into a tiny welded bend/ball that stops the wire from feeding through the sleeve.

    Welding problems

    Millermatic 211 is shorting out. The wire keeps grounding (welding) out to the opening of the wire liner INSIDE the welding unit where the wire feeds into the liner. I am going to replace the ground clamp and wire liner? Anyone have this happen or know the problem and if my new items will fix...

    8.5" front axle ball joints installation

    Love the conflicting information. I wonder about alignment considerations with thin install of the new ball joint. There is typically an adjustment cone that is not symmetrical that you rotate to adjust the camber but I wasn't sure how to check it for the correct position and now the tire is...

    Wiper motor has no programmed stop/start position

    Whenever operating the wipers recently, I have to turn them off at the switch at just the right time or they don't return to the stop/start position. I'm thinking it might be a bad ground or connection at the motor and have done zero investigation as of yet. She is an '84 I think. Hope it...

    Lets talk front driveshaft drive angles with the SM465, np205 & 10bolt corporate axle

    I think the 4" lift is my "problem". I am going to try a 2 degree shim between the springs and the spring perches. I can't lower my cross member because the distributor cap is just about hitting the firewall as it is.

    Lets talk front driveshaft drive angles with the SM465, np205 & 10bolt corporate axle

    Hey all, I removed my AT (700R4) and transfer case (np208) and installed an SM465 MT and np205 transfer case. In the process, I had to move the cross member that holds up the adapter between the transmission and transfer case forward about 2". The truck suspension imight be lifter like 4" I...

    Manual locking hubs disassembly

    Maybe try jacking up the wheel and take some of the pressure of the weight of the truck off the drive line. This may help loosen things up so you can pull that sucker out.

    8.5" front axle ball joints installation

    I came across this torque sequence for installing my ball joints: Position the knuckle and sockets to the yoke. Install new nuts finger tight to the upper (the nut with the cotter pin slot) and lower ball socket studs. Push up on the knuckle (to keep the ball socket from turning in the...
