Haley sitting in my tires cracks me up
Allright well its almost time to start thinking about finishing the motor build. I still need to decide which heads and precombustion chambers I'm going to use. Oliver, if I get you some casting #'s will you be able to tell me what the best ones to go with are? I have the different varieties to chose from right now as follows
1 set off a 88 J code that came in a 1 ton 4x4.
1 set off a 83 C code that came from god knows where
3 sets off of 84 CUCV's, all J code 1 ton 4x4's.
The two sets of J codes are in my garage but the C codes are still on the motor at my shop back home.
Also I've been looking into getting a tach but the options for a 6.2 are slim. I have heard of one variety where you glue a magnet to the harmonic balancer and a sensor to the block, but that seems a little janky to me. Well aparently Isspro makes tach's that are driven off of either the alternator or the oil pump drive. I couldnt find the oil pump version on Isspro's site but its mentioned in an article on the diesel page.
Here's the alternator version

Here's another alternator driven one from Autometer

Title has been aquired and registration renewed, it was much less painless than I was expecting.
now get it inspected so we can all poke fun of that thing as it drives around and act like we don't know you
Holy crap I just saw Pigpen on the road. :gigem:
what did you do for insurance?
Added to my normal policy with Geico. It was only another $100 a year for bare minimum liability coverage. But as far as they know pigpen is a 84 2wd 3/4 ton :flipoff2:
As those that were there saw I had some problems with my front axle at TCC. My driver's side front tire would not spin even with the hub locked. I figured the hub was not engaging for some reason but when I took it apart nothing was broken or otherwise messed up. My shafts are not broken either, which leaves the detroit. I bought the ***** brand new about 3 1/2 years ago. I've always heard that when detroits go they usually explode into a million pieces but when I drained my diff there werent any metal shavings or chunks. I am hesistant to take the carrier out b/c the gears were professionaly set up but I cant think of any other reason the wheel wasnt spinning. Anyone else have any ideas?
the hub wasnt put together correctly maybe. if you get the springs in the wrong place they wont engage. i would think the detroit would make some noise, not just mysteriously stop working.
why don't you take both hubs off and spin the yoke by hand and see if both shafts rotate? That would eliminate hub problems.
I have to agree with john. I can not believe I agree with this tard but it happened to my milemarker hubs.Quote:

I finally RTI'd pigpen for the first time at TCC, I could have gone higher but I didnt feel like repositioning again.
