    Weird knock under load

    I'm running a lock rite in my front end, in snow and highway driving I lock in just the passenger side hub, and if I really need to send power to both front tires and not have to turn the steering wheel much, I will lock in the other hub, its a short walk to lock in the driver side. from my...

    NP241C Output shaft snap ring.

    My transfer case made a god awful noise and it felt like it bound up and snapped, so I went back home swapped out trucks and went to work, when I got home I removed the driveline and tailshaft housing to take a look and I discovered a bent snap ring. I ordered a Sonnax Split Ring Retainer part#...

    Broke another flexplate, what am I missing?

    thats a sweet looking motor in that beast, I have heard of touque converter getting hot and ballooning out. did it crqck in the same place as the previous flexplate did?

    Broke another flexplate, what am I missing?

    snap a pic of the harmonic balancer on the front of the crankshaft, what side of the engine is the dip stick on. i have seen flexplate crack pretty rarely, for a motor to go through 2 of them in short time like that I would dig a little deeper

    Broke another flexplate, what am I missing?

    I would fire it up and watch closely for end play in the crankshaft, maybe a thrust bearing has become sloppy. you sure the motor is definatley a 350, if its a 400 or 327 it will take a different style flexplate.

    I have a pretty beatup bezel if you want one to practice on, I think thats badass I have always wondered myself on what it would take to wire in newer gauges, might be able to pull alot of info from the OBD port, fuel gauge should be the same ohms, please keep us updated on progress

    Electronic Speedometer

    dakota digital sells adapters that bolt to the trans to get a signal for the LS computer, and I think you can still hook you cable onto it and keep the stock speedo working
