    replacing front wheel studs

    You gotta pull the rotor, the studs can be punched or pressed out, then press/pull the new ones in using the lug nut.

    700r4 shift points

    But then again, when you initially set the cable, it will ratchet out for the initial adjustment on WOT, then you make fine tune adjustments to it.

    700r4 shift points

    I don't think 31" tires will throw it off, sounds to me that your cable isn't locking-in the setting, if it pulls out on WOT. I'd replace the cable, they're like 18-25 bucks, or, I've seen guys put hose clamps on it, or something that will keep it stationary if its slipping. But one thing is for...

    700r4 shift points

    Adjust your detent(TV) cable. I messed around for 10 days with mine, before I found the sweet spot. Tire size, gear ratio change, bad cable, and burnt fluid will throw it off Q.

    Bed aligned wierd

    Sometimes, on the back of the cab where your bushings are, the rail mount(actual cab part) bends(collapses)out of shape. It happens when you jump your truck or really twist the frame in extreme 4 wheelin.

    HeliCoil for aluminum Auto Trans thread repair.

    Nice! Gonna order a set from amazon. I was just gonna tap it out to the next size, but something about not having all 16 pan bolts the same size, would just fucking Gnaw at me forever. OCD?:think:

    Torque converter connector

    I went ahead and wired up the original vacuum switch, just for the hell of it. Took it out for a cruise, and much to my amazement, the fucking thing worked flawlessly! It locked up the converter a split second after 4th gear, and unlocked it under heavy acceleration. I would have liked it, to...

    Stripped tranny oil pan bolt

    I hadn't even heard of heli-coil, till Paw Paw mentioned it earlier. I did some reading on it, and it seems to make the union even stronger and better than before.

    Torque converter connector

    I am hopeful that the original vac switch on my truck still works, although I am doubtful it does. The connector was slightly melted when I disconnected it. Is there a way to test them with a meter and a gauge?

    Torque converter connector

    Well, the moving of the pressure switch over to the 4th gear pressure port did the trick. I took it for a cruise on the freeway, hit the switch, and lock-up was achieved! I need to get an adjustable vacuum switch now. I was reading the reviews on the TCI vacuum switch from summit...

    Stripped tranny oil pan bolt

    Yeah, the bolt is fine, its the threads in the casing. I always noticed that there was a small leak some where, now that I got into fixing the lock-up, and had to remove the pan, I found out why. Its the corner bolt right over the front drive shaft where it meets the transfer case.

    Torque converter connector

    Well, I finally got around to changing the pressure switch over to the 4th gear pressure port and plugged the 4-3 port. I was out of commission for a couple days with a Hideous Gout attack on my right foot.(That shit is unrealistically painful) I also got my indicator light installed right next...

    Stripped tranny oil pan bolt

    I have a stripped transmission oil pan bolt on my 700r4. I noticed the holes go all the way through the case. Can I put a longer bolt with a washer and a nut? Or is there another fix?

    Torque converter connector

    Today when I was out on the truck, and the lock-up kicked it, it was so cool. And my original wiring in-cab was working good, the brake switch was interrupting the circuit just like it was meant to do. I couldn't believe how much that helps your engine on the freeway. Ever since I changed the...

    Torque converter connector

    Yeah, I meant to ask you about that. What do you do, take off the orange seal it comes with, and use O-rings similar in thickness as the orange thingy?

    Torque converter connector

    I knew something was up with that. My truck had been shifting really good, then all of a sudden I get the lock-up working, and my shift points changed dramatically and its shifting out of 1st really late & hard. . I'm still kicking around the WHY.

    Hey HotRod, would the lock-up function affect the TV cable adjustment?

    Torque converter connector

    You need a minimum of 4" of lift to clear them with no rubbing issues. I went up 6" to have the option to go with 35's in the future.
