Dang, can't make that day. My boy has a Tae Kwon Do tournament.

Take pictures or it won't happen
 
I won't make it either. We have a soccer game and garage sale. Our entire town has a bunch of garage sales on the same day and we are taking part this year.
 
Yeah it's to bad, there could have been 2 Chevys there
 
So, couple things. Steering box and oil pan doing a fair bit o leaking.
Got some of the crap that needs to be on the truck to go wheeling mounted.

Tackle those two leaks tomorrow
 
I have reservations. Finally put a limit strap on the passenger side.
At full droop the drive shaft will bind. Only CV that will hit the angle is a super 42.

Likely transplant a high pinion in it

I thought you had a doubler in the garage? That should help with the angles :whistle:

No, the guy who bought my K5 had the doubler
Still sitting on the floor.
Collecting dust...


If I had a doubler, it would be in. If it was behind a standard anyways.

Ah... I must had misread something.

At least the strap will give you peace of mind on the trail.
 
Well that's the theory. I extensively priced out a new drive line last week.
Am i wrong for feeling like a really expensive drive line is just a Band Aid?

I've already acquired a HP axle. Math says it will remove 8-10° from the drive line angle, putting me at a running difference from the t case of 10°.
I can use the factory CV at that rate
 
That's where I am at. Takes a little time and effort, but it's not a Band Aid. Puts the pinion in basically the stock unlifted location.

And from a long term perspective you'll be way ahead. Spare driveshafts will be cheap in comparison to those high angle $$ shafts.

Not sure yet if I'd be able to use a stock shaft, but just modify a stock on is possible.
Plus less angle on the working drive line for less stress and wear.
That will be a fun thing to document for the build thread!
 
High pinion front end is way better.

I assume from a Ford. Add an oil filter relocation kit to that list
