    NP205 4L80E conversion help

    I don’t see anything special about the kit, it appears to use a modified copy of the pre ‘85 400/205 adapter with a threaded boss on the passenger side for the shifter pivot bolt. ‘91 squares could have had a 4l80e/205 and the shifter is in the same general spot as any other typical 205 combo...

    never jerk a stuck truck with a chain

    A sad situation indeed. I have a Warn receiver hitch insert designed for a clevis and it's solid, not hollow or tubing.

    stock front drive shaft and lift

    I put 6" lift on my old crew cab and kept the stock driveshafts but the front was max'd out, this wasn't a problem though since I did not wheel it. The real problem was that it hit the exhaust crossover so I had to have that modified.

    never jerk a stuck truck with a chain

    You touched on another issue - "is the pin strong enough?" You'll be in a pickle if you ever bend the pin, you wont be able to get it (or the strap) out without cutting and beating on it for a while. The hot product now is kinetic ropes for yanking out stuck vehicles. The flat straps are...

    Do we have a show us your shop thread?

    For 20 years I crammed all my junk into our single car garage (look closely and you'll see my Blazer's frame w/ axles in there). Then fortunately / unfortunately someone "broke in" to my wife's Jeep in the driveway (soft top so the doors are always unlocked), needless to say she was pissed...

    How to measure a lift?

    The springs are NOT on a truck? It's easy on the truck but I don't know a measurement if they're loose.

    You ain’t lyin!! It snowed strong all day, we ended up at 7.5”. It’s insane to open the door to walk my dogs and see so much snow.

    Here’s mine during Snowmageddon ‘25. 6” of snow here in Mobile, Alabama (30 miles from the coast) and still going strong. Today set an all time record for the city.

    Header clearance front shackle 86 k10

    That really depends on the springs themselves, most lift springs are fairly stiff but custom or lower rate springs can move more.

    Any R/V crew cab guys? I'm new here

    Yeah, mine was a ‘91 also with a 4l80e. I wish it had had a 454 but it had a 350, it was a former USAF truck so I felt lucky it wasn’t a 6.2 diesel.

    Any R/V crew cab guys? I'm new here

    I was a V series guy but I sold it almost 20 years ago and still regret it. Edit: I wasn’t thinking, I’m still a V series guy because my Blazer is a ‘91. Post up a pic of what you have, everyone loves a cool truck.

    Adapter between SM465 and NP205

    Interesting, I always thought the true synchronized versions were available for like 2~4 years and only in the early figure 8 style that ended in ‘84. @WRW86 your 205 has this oiling vein on the rear cover?

    Header clearance front shackle 86 k10

    If it’s not already, turn the shackle bolt so that the bolt head is towards the header and the thread/nut are on the outside. I’ve run Hedman’s forever on small and big blocks and while they can be close to the header I’ve never had an actual interference problem.

    Need help identifying sloppy driveshaft/diff play!

    You need to isolate the slop. I’d pull the driveshaft and look at it and its components separately. If you’re seeing slop where the 2 pc driveshaft comes together it could be as simple as a ujoint or as complicated as the male/female splines of the slop yoke. Around an 1/8th of a turn at the...

    Everything looks great. I didn’t realize the rotors were still loose in these kits, I just assumed (I know…) they were retained by the studs like older axles.

    489ci tow build...

    Just my .02.... I wouldn't (didn't) spend the money on new pistons (forged or other) and stay at a low 8.5 comp, I'm not saying shoot for the moon but I'd go for 9:1. A stroker rotating assembly is a decent investment to still end up with a low compression motor when you have choices.

    Dexron II or Manual Transmission Oil??

    This will be an SM465 transmission which used gear oil forever. It's possible the last few years had ATF spec'd for improved economy, the NP205 tcase was this way. I run gear oil in my SM465 (mixed years of parts plus aftermarket tailshaft).
