Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
I'll probably run one anyway, it's easy enough to do and useful for diagnosing stuff. Just sayin it isn't something I need in front of me all the time.
I'm assuming you'll be running an MSD ignition box or similar, with an adjustable rev limiter?
It's enough to make me never not want to do it.
Plus having 5th gear is nice. (ask Adam how that was workin out.
)
Are they running a stock radiator in a 10-second 1/4-mile pass or a 3-hour endurance race?

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
Agreed, and yes. Probably set the limiter at 6500-7000.
The only thing that sucks, is they usually go for about $800-1000. Then, on top of that, I'm guessing the 5th gear mainshaft fix is almost necessary?
There is one listed close to me for $600 but it's out of a gas truck. I'd then need whatever else to fix the mainshaft and get 29-spline output instead of 23-spline (don't trust 23-spline) and I'd probably just go 241/205 doubler like I mentioned earlier. Except for the fact that finding a 29-spline 241 is another $600-$800.
True.

You are one of the dumbest little people I know. Why you constantly think I'm short is beyond me.
Yes, I just remembered that second little bit. [quagmire voice]Giggity[/quagmire voice]

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
For the amount of time you'll spend in 5th gear, I wouldn't worry about it. I only did mine because I was changing from a 2wd diesel mainshaft to the 4wd gas mainshaft and had to do it anyway. From what I remember the parts were pretty economical; Rockland Standard Gear is a great place to deal with.
I have the 1-1/4" 10-spline input gear sitting around if you end up needing one.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
Yeah, I priced it out. Basically it would cost me the same to upgrade the gas one for $600, then to just buy the diesel one for $1000.
The only thing that kills me is the price of 241s. Seems they go for quite a bit.
I could probably do a NP203 behind it instead. But the only way is to use a 32-spline Chevy output since I just don't trust a 23-spline output.

if i had to choose a way to die, that situation would be one of my top choices.
and in the off chance you lose 5th in a race, you still have 1-4 right? not a deal breaker.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
sirius question.
has anyone seen a larger heim like 7/8" completely separate?
just seein all this talk of safety washers and heims falling apart.
ive seen tie rod ends come apart before and theres no way to put a safety washer on those and nobody is going around saying they are dangerous because that is such a rare occurence.

Never seen it happen.
But why risk it over a couple dollars.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
Newp.
I've seen ones that are sloppy as shit, like all the liner is completely worn away, and the ball is still in the middle. Especially for something like a tie rod where the loading is almost entirely from the side, I don't see a problem.
Unless you land on it hard enough to pull one apart, but you probably have bigger issues at that point.
Meanwhile my Dodge chucked a TRE in a parking lot.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
I've got a really good memory for a lot of stuff, which comes in handy at work a lot of times. But I'm not perfect...
"Hello, this is Chris, what can I do for you?"
"Chris! It's Lou!"
"...hi?"
"Lou, from J&J. Hey, you got anything on that motor for me yet?"
"...which motor would that be?"
"That one we were talking about a few weeks ago, you were waiting to hear back on the insulation spec?"
"...right. Which one was that?"
"Oh man, there's a whole bunch of numbers for it. One of those little bevel gear motors."
....
This guy spent a good 5 minutes trying to remind me about what we were talking about when he could have spent 10 seconds reading me the serial number off the motor tag.
(and it wasn't even a bevel gear, it was a worm gear)
I swear one of the most useful things I've taken away from this job is how not to be a dumbass on the phone when I call other businesses.

Re: THe NAC Lots-O-Post Thread
I update my build thread like every 6 months when I have something other than 'wheel break fix repeat' to put in it, and generally it's 'hey everything changed about this truck again, don't have any pics'
maybe.
