I did see a really odd "box" manufacturer vehicle the other day though. Mounted on a 2WD F series, 7.3 power stroke.

Slant side utility box that was extra tall and extra long as well. Shit ton of exterior compartments. Never seen anything like it before, I was looking for a brand on it, but there was nothing to indicate the builder origin.

If you want to talk about odd vehicles, I was followed east on Iliff Ave. from I-225 til I turned onto Wesley by the City of Aurora’s painted flat black MRAP, only thing missing was the Ma Deuce in the top turret.

What's the point of the tandem rear axle? Troops don't weigh that much and they aren't doing no knocks at the top of an off road trail. Is it just to have more tires in case of a flat?

That armor has to be heavy. (That ranks high on the list of dumbest statements I’ve posted lately). Maybe tandem for redundancy, so if a rear tire is blown, it can still limp away? Or maybe armor is just heavy.

An MRAP’s empty weight is 14 - 18 tons depending on configuration. I would assume that is a good enough reason for tandem duallys

Well, if your budget gives you X tax dollars to spend and you don’t spend them all, you get a budget cut next year. So you better add some tires to use up the tax dollars, maybe even go into the red so you get a bigger budget next year.

Brutal, what's your opinion of trailer anti-sway devices, and your experience with it?

Necessary for most heavy and long high sided trailers unless you're pulling with a dually.

I only used one behind my last 5th wheel to help reduce sway on my boat, but it's a given that they're needed for just about every RV due to the tall sides (sail).

As with everything else, there's a price/performance cost benefit to the different options.

You can haul a +30' bumper pull TT around with a Lincoln Town Car if you spend $$$ on a Hensley Arrow (WD+sway control).

Blue Ox and the Equalizer line are both good stuff and very popular with the RV crowd because they incorporate ant-sway into the WD setup.

The add on anti-sway friction bars are a PITA IMHO.

Nobody has a 63 Impala, so inventory doesn't turn over
Everybody owns a 88 Jeep, so inventory flies out the door.
Inventory Management needs review.

With Jim at the Diff shop, yes.

From what I understand, you really have to know what you're doing to install gears in a differential. What about replacing the gears in a T-case? Is it the same thing where you have to adjust tension and stuff, or is it just take the old stuff out and bolt the new stuff in?

I can go to a 3:1 ratio T-case in my Amigo for $350 with just the gears, or $1,500 in an assembled T-case. Quite the difference.

The t-case flange had to be made anyways in order to do a CV rear shaft for my t-case. Also my t-case should be gone through as well due to it being 40 to 50 yrs old. I agree you really need to know wtf you're doing while assembling diffs. All that said, running 37 inch tires with 3:73 gears might not be in the ballpark for t-case gearing remedies in my t-case. I don't know.

Jim came out and saw what I had, I went with his recommendations. I feel bad leaving the guy hanging a bit, I'm better than that and it bothers me.

Is 3:73 gears what he recommended, or what you're running before the new gears?

I didn't know that about differentials until recently, so I'm curious if it's the same with T-case gears. I was all gung-hoe to just order the gears and install myself, but not if you're supposed to have expertise in order to do it.

Nobody has a 63 Impala, so inventory doesn't turn over
Everybody owns a 88 Jeep, so inventory flies out the door.
Inventory Management needs review.

At least, that is what the consultant said?

Not really. Both stores list 2 differentials the 30 & 44 Dana. Yet there are 1/2 doz different dana / spicer differentials.

Feeler gauges, torque wrenches, possibly specialty tools for holding or setting play. Most you should be able to rent at the local auto parts shop.

Plenty of room to set the t-case out w/out any disturbances. So with your work, where you're possibly going in to the busy season. Pay the xtra cash (if you can afford it) for a plug n play unit.

Or remove it now and wonder where that 8mm e clip went around 2 a.m, sometime in sept. You seem determined to tackle most any mechanical task, whether you're suited for it or not. Nothing like otj training, to further your wrenching skills .

Irving
05-13-2019, 22:56
But do you have to set tension in a t-case like you do in a diff? I really don't know. bolting on parts is bolting on parts. If I'm going to have to learn specialized skills, I'd rather it be welding so I can fab my own stuff. That's next by the way. Skid plate and rock sliders.

I was, but then I didn't. Since then I've had a few different people offer me the use of their welders, including some neighbors. So I can learn for way cheaper using their equipment than running out and buying one.

I haven't looked up the T-case gears yet. I thought I'd just ask here and save myself the time.

You had to think about it again to decide to call? Wasn't that the main issue you were having with trying to get the light bar for the truck bent was that no one would call you back? Communication and setting expectations goes a long way to keep things on track. Bet you're glad you made the call.

05-14-2019, 22:01
Im sorry, perhaps I hadn't stated that as well as I could have. Our Diff shop has been waiting for me to get the new case in place and tacked up so they can finish the welds and install the gear set. Then I can put the diff back in the truck, and put the rest of it back together. They'll make the rear driveshaft as well.

Then I take the front out, disassemble all of it, and send that to them for gearing.....get it back and then put it all back together with new ball joints, bearings, hubs etc,...whatever it needs to make it right.

OtterbatHellcat
05-14-2019, 22:20
Well, there are a lot of t case varieties. I imagine a chain driven limited choice case is easier than a multiple option gear only case.

I don't know.

As easy as it is to completely eff up a two gear diff, I would also think it's train wreck city to jump right into multiple gear t cases.

I was gonna say... experimenting with some automotive applications is great. Powertrain stuff can be very expensive just for the parts, and if ya do it wrong you could cause much more damage than just having someone with the knowledge and proper tools ahead of time do it for you. In a t case, some rebuild shops can't get it right...and sometimes differentials need case spreaders just to get the third member into the housing for installation.

I know you want to do it yourself brother, but the pressures and tolerances and velocities are critical in most situations so they must be set right or you're just going to tear a bunch of shit up.

Irving
05-14-2019, 23:00
Well that's why I was trying to look it up. I can do stuff, but even easy stuff takes me forever, so if it is something complicated where I'll need two experts to hold my hand the entire time, that's usually the point where I start shying away.

If you're looking to have the case engraved or a placard done & mounted on a flag box you can also try Etsy.

Or he could bring it to Ken @ Damage Factory, in the (FINALLY OPEN) new location for laser engraving

Is that a euphemism?

I don?t think so.

I think it?s more a product of a building with two HVAC units and the guys down the hall keep bumping the thermostat down because their office is warm.

Fortunately I won?t be in the office much over the next couple of weeks.

Where will you be?

Hard to say. I?ll be working up near Cheyenne next week. The following week I could be up that way or maybe out east a bit. I kind of set my own schedule and sometimes I just do it on the fly.

ChickNorris

I should have been warm and toasty this week working up near Cheyenne but changed my plans to better accommodate other people?s schedules and ended up in the office getting caught up on office type stuff. I?m not really an office type guy so I?d rather be out in the field working.

It's really strange that you keep finding squirrels where they live.

She thinks she's eliminating the squirrel population.

When all they're doing is acting as decoys, for the other ones slowly chewing through her wiring harness

Kinda like registering Republican post-1983. A shell of what it was and should be disbanded.

I saw those, but the reviews said the cutouts make it less floaty and lets too much water on the mat.

Yes but its more glowy. I like that.

Moot anyway, I'd rather have ammo.

Boating, shooting, Bbq, fishing & catching little toads with the kiddos. Just about perfect.
