New water pump on today. No leaks yet. It still makes a weird noise occasionally. I think I have a bad lifter. **** it. Checked the new oil with maybe an hour on it. It was grey. **** it. Changed oil with some 20w50 and some lucas. Not going to check oil any more. **** it.
With the use of a ZJ, a strap, a chain and the F150 winch, the tie rod is semi straight again, so the new GLO diff cover went on. Tunes are sorta working. Trans shifts, but slowly. Need to make sure my hubs still engage and are not completely rusted. Ready for K Rocks.
I like your attitude:gigem:
I havent updated in awhile. The transmission now shifts like it should. Trans Specialties fixed it. The oil looks fine too. No leaks that I have seen yet. It has been in its resting place under a barn in La Grange until last week. Started right up. Greg has it in Magnolia fabbing up the trans crossmember to clear the front driveshaft. It has always needed some modification, but somehow I have just always gotten away with it.
I would like to get bigger tires on it by Clayton. I am thinking either 39"Iroks or 38" SXs. No 40"+ club for now. An H1 wheel rebuild is also in order.
What in the heel are you posting about this for, don't you have some comuning to be doing? :flipoff2:
I think he may be hiding from the rain :D
John if you get restless could you drive up to Waldorf Mine and Lake Edith campground for me and tell me if you see any elk? ;)
You could also look at 39.5" TSLs, they run small.
39.5x13.5x16.5 Iroks run around $320/tire.Quote:

Would like to find something used, but not having much luck finding much for 16.5"
I am a little confused. What exactly is a saginaw pump. I thought that is what I have. It is the black , pear shaped pump from 87+ ford truck v8s? For hydro assist, I should just need the cylinder, hoses, tabs, an additional resevoir, and to drill and tap my box. Correct?
the saginaw pump came from ford van v8s. or even the 300 for that matter. you have a serp. set up on your 302 so you'll want the power steering pump from lets just say a 1995 van with a 302. you'll also need the ac and power steering pump bracket from that year van. go check out Gordons, the last time i was out there i was 4 or 5 Ford v8 vans with the pumps and brackets still in them.

If your pump looks like the one in William_ace's photo it is a saginaw. On my 1990 302 I did not have a saginaw. I swapped to a saginaw. I just removed my old pulley and put it on the new pump. Bolted right up. Had to get a different hose.
The saginaw is not required for hydro-assist, but it is generally a more beefy higher flowing pump. If your old pump goes out, I would make sure to have a saginaw.
Oddly enough, my thread on this has a linke to a post by you on the part number, so yes, I would say you have a saginaw pump. So yes, get a cylinder, tap your steering box, hook up hoses and add some sort of reservoir. If it does not turn, swap the hoses.
I have a saginaw pump.
But I still would want an external resevoir correct?
yes you would i believe PSC sells just the can
more importantly than the resevior you will need to add a cooler and use good fluid
The oil cooler off a 90's Ford Esploder is a skinny stacked plate design that is about a square foot and has 3/8 hose barbs on it. I plan on putting one on Pigpen as soon as Clarke replaces the one I gave him and I put my hydro assist on.
speedway sells an aluminum reservoir can for like 20
I have traded a few emails with Lance at PSC and I should be ordering it tomorrow and have it all ready to go by Clayton. My box probably needs a rebuild, as well as a ClarkeFab drill and tap.
I replaced a front shackle damaged from K rocks tonight to get rid of the gangsta lean, then took it out for a spin. She did 50 on some backroads:D
I have to tear into the tires/rims because 2 won't hold air overnight. I would just as soon put new bigger tires on at that point though. I might try out Krebs' 38s or spring for new tires.
A little 10.25 TLC is in order this weekend and then it will be ready for Alto.
bad pic of new t case skid and trans crossmember
what the lone bar up front for?
If you look close, you can see it uses the stock trans mount up in the top right corner. It kinda hoops around the front driveshaft. You can see how the driveshaft used to grind on the stock x member.
Ordered the steering! Finally! I spent way less than I always thought it would be. I got a cylinder, hoses, tabs, a resevoir that replaces my Saginaw resevoir, and an external resevoir.
Can you supply part numbers and the places you bought them. I will be doing hydro-assist in the near future.Quote:

As far as the steering gear goes, I will assume that my gear box could use a good rebuilt. I will check prices on rebuilt ones from the parts store, but has anyone rebuilt one? Difficult?
not worth the effort, just get a rebuilt with a warrenty and be done with it
I rebuilt the GM box I used to have on the jeep when I tapped it for hydro assist. Fairly straight forward, I just followed the BillaVista tech thread on pirate. Just be careful on where you tap the box for the fittings.
So why isnt it on the jeep any more? :flipoff2:Quote:

john, i think the pump you bought was an A1 cardone conversion pump. I dont think its the van pump especially if you have not changed out the PS and AC bracket. i've heard mixed reviews on their performance. If i was you i would go to the junk yard and get an actual sag pump, not the a1 cardone conversion.
Yeah that is the pump I have. I will probably get a rebuilt one from the store.
I checked and repacked the rear bearings and everything looked good. The rtv I had used between the hub and axle shaft crumbled away on one side so I 'right stuffed' it back together. Also cleaned some K Rocks from the bead of one tire, so now only 1 leaks.
So when are you installing the snorkel? :D
I think the first thing would be to remember which side the airbox is on:flipoff2:Quote:

look at summit, jegs, or etrailer for the fittings you need,
I'd probably go with steel.
