PEAK PUTTERS

Somebody didn't lock tight the ring gear bolts. yes. I think I might have not even torqued them proper as I was going to do that after loc-tite. I built this third on and off over a week period.....lesson learned. The other I did in one sitting....other than rushing it and not reshimming when a bea...

this is getting old.....and I need to get some pics uploaded.

Ended up chipping a front ring gear 2 weeks ago. Tore down the truck on Sunday and new gearset should be here tomorrow.

I think once this is sorted out the next big step is going to be a new bed for the truck

Already picked up a new third. I have elockers front and rear. Got a killer deal on it. My gears were good still but questioned the bearings so new ones are on the way.

I guess I need to update this thread more....just have been busy. Weds I thought I would drive my rig to the vanpool since I figured work would let out way late and by the time we made it back to town the roads would be horrible. Got out early and grabbed some groceries and while driving through the...

Somewhat current.

After messing with it forever it seems (assembled motor in 2014) I have my s10 running decentish. I still need to work on the tune but after locking the timing at 10 degrees it fired right up! 1997 s10 2wd T56 6 speed transmission 4.10 gears with Torsen diff 355 SBC 225cc Bowtie vortec heads with 1....

Ended up with a 24" fire stick from ranch and home.

First trail ride I ripped it off....maybe time for a handheld

Went to funny rocks with some VIT plant people.... https://youtu.be/ky4rVkQRtzk Front diff is leaking from behind locker motor.....for some reason the front wasn't unlocking also. Drove up there and back pretty much ok (had one plug wire shift and short on a header but a zip tie took care of it) Nee...

I am not sure. The vortec coil has a driver....I know the power from the driver leaves a good jolt...would not want to find out the coil side of it.

Nod more issue with hose relocated. Guessing issue lies with cheapest rockauto cap and wire set.

Found the coil wire was grounding out to the fuel line. Tied the line back and all seems good now. Planning a run with guys from work to Ravens Roost on Sunday now.

I would go online but I need to have it installed by friday morning when I leave. We are heading out towards walla walla so maybe I will dive into the truck stop and see what I can find. I was just hoping for a radio shop in town.

I need to get my cb up and running for this weekend and was wondering if there was a shop in town to get some parts? I need a new whip and maybe a spring base for it.

Wow. Sounds like your moving through the challenges of rig building pretty well. I meant that as a compliment ...I'll take it back. I took it as one...just this one is fighting me alot lately and looks like it is not making it to Moab so I am kinda bummed (packing and giving a last push to see if I...

timing is locked on a vortec, triggered off the crank. all you can do is phase the rotor in one tooth increments (roughly 40 degrees at the rotor)

I had a propane torch and tried that around but didn't get much response (unlit)

So for some reason this truck idles fine...but floods out if you try to give it any throttle. MAP reads ok (21" @ 570 rpm) MAF reads correct....was running great before the small fire and injector swap. Plug from new injector looks best out of all of them now. idles great. but will start cuttin...

Not my first automotive build.....not by a long shot.

Did some hiking yesterday and worked today. Hoping to get timing dialed in tonight and get a test drive under my belt (and a trip to the car wash)

Well friday I went to pull the intake and change the leaky intake gasket and swap a fuel injector that seemed to be leaking....did not get the injector fully seated causing a small engine fire from the gasoline that leaked out. Luckily the only damage was a couple melted wires for the cam sensor. Sp...

So I need a couple 1" tubes bent up. Is there anyone on here that could help me out with that?

Big items left: 1. Caliper bolts - need to trim some down and maybe washers for a couple to get things semi safe enough to drive) DONE!! 2. Brake lights stopped working during the swap for some reason (I think it traces back to loosing power or ground to the stop light relay in the dash) DONE!!! 3....

https://youtu.be/5rc5Pwd-Ow0 I managed to get the y-pipe finished up over the week/weekend and get a power steering pump that works on the truck. After a little mishap with a couple plug wires being out of order this was the final result. I need to take care of a little wiring on the ECU still (pas...

I need to see how the planetary cleans up....was alot of trash in there (fine AL powder from the tossed chain) it spins but not very nicely. hoping it frees up a little better with some cleaning.

Well back to my Toyota....more parts showing up today!
