It's clearing by about an inch or so. But that's not fully flexed I don't think.

I'm gonna see what I can do about bringing it back with me Sunday or Monday so I can keep working on it up there. I really need to figure out where I can keep it without people messing with it. Maybe at my apartment since it's gated but otherwise I might have to ask about keeping it out there off 21 where my sister lives? :confused:
If I get to bring it, I'll make sure and take one of the sawzaw's as well.
looks good
looks good robbie
Thanks.
I picked up my brake lines from Smiley's and also brought the Rolls p.s. pump with me to check to see if they had the fittings. Sure enough they had them. So I bought enough to make both hp and lp lines as well as have a spare set just in case. I have one line made right now, but had to take a lunch break.
now you need to go buy another rolls pump, cause a lot of time it is the pump that fails not the lines...also have you gotten a new shaft yet cause that one you got with a welded yoke aint gonna work so bueno...looking a lot better
Yeah I'm still lookin' for an inner short side. I got all the power steering hooked up but I don't know if it's working yet cuz we didn't bleed the lines.
the only way to bleed the lines is let it run, and turn the wheel back and forth.
Also I think Ive got a short side inner for you w/ stub shaft. Its a dodge 44 w/ the flat tops....right?
Yes it's a flat top dodge 44. I'll double check and make sure I connected the lines right, but it seems like I have no p.s.? Maybe jacking the front end up and going full lock to lock for awhile will help it?
I read Robert's post about the hp and lp lines and I think I have them backwards. Time to switch it tomorrow.
Finished switching the lines and that was it. Took it for a spin and it steers muy bueno'. Painted some of the cage too, just flat black for now to cover up the welds and prevent rust. Painted the gas tank skid too.
Well, seems I can't find my power steering pump brackets, or don't know what they look like. Maybe if you can find me a picture and send it to me tonight I can still get it tomorrow mornin early before I leave. I did find stuff like a york mount, and just about anything you could want for a 258. I even have tuned headers that'll make people think you have a V8, especially when you have skinny pedal on the floor pointed up a hill.
I don't need it now, I finally got the p.s. working with the Rolls pump. Thanks for the help though.
What is this the for sale forum??? My dad just got home so I took him for a spin. He dug the hell out of it. :beer:
How much for it and the short side shaft? I need the shaft for sure and I could use the pump as well if the rolls thing doesn't work so well on the trail. Thanks for all the help. :gigem:
well it would be about $50-60 for the pump and the shaft. However, I am not sure about dodge axles. It has the funny arm on the driverside and the link, but no studs on the passengerside. Is this the right axle?
It should be flat top both sides with the knuckles tapped. Is it an 81 or around that year? I didn't think it mattered as long as it was a dodge d44 passenger side drop?
Do you have a pulley puller? I have a cheby pump that was left at Bill's that I could go back and get. All I would need would be the pulley.
go to oreilys or advanced and do it there on the tableQuote:

If he had a puller he could just get me the pulley instead of the whole pump which would save some money. If not I'll just see if I can find the reciept for the pump I left at Bill's and return it, though it was over 2 months ago when it was bought.
BTW- Sent the guy a pm regarding the shaft, we'll see what he says.
so why is the pump at bills if you paid for it, didnt plan on using it, why didnt you jsut take it back, or with you, think man it will save you lots of driving to h-town to take back or get a 30 dollar pump. jsut trying to help you out man
heres, somehting that, could help?Quote:

I have to go home to Conroe to get the Jeep sometime this week so going down to Houston isn't a big deal, not to mention my dad's office is only a couple blocks over from Bill's shop, so I can get a free lunch and see him. :gigem:
BTW- I don't know what day this week or weekend, probably friday afternoon, but if anyone wants to ride down with me to get my pile they're welcome to. I can insure free food. :haha:
thanks jimmy that girl that is turning around is smmmmoooking hot!!! i ain't got nun of them classs thingies i can maybe goo.
i get out of class at 12:20. i could lend a hand
Well Coop and I went and got my pile last night, so it's now here. The 218 crew has been extremely generous and allowed me to work on my junk there as well as lend a hand. Still need to get a couple fittings for the steel braided lines, but we did get new hardlines bent and in.
I just talked to Mark about the shaft and he explained that he bought the axle used and didn't know about it, he did tell me that he had replaced the long side many times due to running 40"s on it, but the short side never broke. But he IS getting me a new shortside for free since it was his deal. So all is well. He'll be at Katemcy the same weekend so I'll finally get to wheel with him.
sweetness about the shaft man, now you can use the broken one as a spare to get off the trail if it breaks.
Installed new ignition today and got all the water out of the seats.
Coop, C.J., and I went to Eaker(sp?) Performance today and I picked up a removable steering wheel conversion and a nice Grant wheel. Mucho's Gracias to Coop for bolting the wheel to the bracket while I was running around town.
Some of you might have seen the shasta stuff on my pile at the meeting so I'll clarify what still needs to be done before Katemcy.
Tomorrow-
Get the rest of the brake fittings needed to run my steel braided lines
Run/flare new steel lines
Still waiting on-
Seat covers
Get the shortside shaft from guy
U-bolt pinion for 44
Bwhahaha, there's really no way of getting out of that one. I've always known that the button on the floorboard to the left of the clutch is the high beam switch. But I thought that Cook and other's with older vehicle's with aftermarket steering wheel's mounted them by the high beam switch and such? I guess I was wrong. Either way I'll be finding a mounting spot on the column with a button switch like Cooks.
my steering wheel is stock. all the shat in the middle of it is gone and the yayhoos who had the truck before me put a button on the piller
Ah I see. Well whenever I bought the heap it came with that piece-o-wheel that's sitting in my box of parts. Needless to say there was no horn...nada.
I'll just rig it up like your's except for on the column. That's how I've wired up the trail feeders on our Rangers.
that button was already on the pillar when we got the truck :flipoff2:Quote:
