    Changing gear ratios: opinions/suggestions wanted!!

    The 700r4 has a I believe 28 spline output shaft, while the 4l80e or 400 have a 30? thats a consideration. T, you gotta get up here, I have 700r4, 4l80e's, and all the stuff that goes into those, like the 205 big bearing input for the 400, (like yours.) I am swapping the C20 dezzle this winter...

    Finished the shed, final pic. Grateful the weather held, and I was able to finish it. Just need gravel, hopefully next week. Snow forecast so need to get the ol' 620 Johnny popper in the shed, and my other JD will still fit, what I wanted.

    New For Me 1985 Silverado 20 6.2 Diesel

    Went to the Dr, and when I came out, truck wouldn't start. Luckily a fellow farmer saw my dilemma, had cables and got it started, God bless him. Sooo bought two new red top odyssey batteries, and man what a difference. Yes still have to use the glow plugs, but parked for ten minutes at the...

    Recommendations while tearing down for valve job?

    Like ^^^^^ those guys said. If you are in doute find the specs for the cam and have the shop check the PSI at the installed height of the springs. I always do, but I have access to a spring tester. Do pretty much what Ricko suggests. The head man has all the tools to measure and test the heads...

    This one needs to go, asking for opinions. Offering it up here first.

    Big truck are the worst, but we don't outlaw them. I think just about every vehicle can throw gravel,

    Mine is Olympic, great bldg, *** bad customer service. Love my steel bldg, but Olympic wanted almost 30,000 for another 20 feet. So I ordered, got cancer and had to cancel. There is NO WAY to get out of the contract unless life threating situation which mine fell under, but still cost me 7000,00...

    To remove or not to paint frame?

    I did mine myself, but in retrospect sand blasting is way faster, I only un bolted what would unbolt. My motor mt rivets were a little loose so I heated then up and beat them with a big hammer while holding a sludge hammer on the other side, so check for loose rivies.

    Heavy vibration at highway speed under load

    1/2 turn slack in driveshaft!!! I would stop driving RIGHT NOW, cause that is really not right. get a new gasket and pull the rear end cover that will tell the story I bet, I can just see the filing filled oil oozing out. If this is a 14 bolt, maybe the lash adjuster backed off, can't think of...

    Hey Zach, we have 230 at the moment, but next year we are trading the Wa Fish and Wildlife for a 40 they have and selling 160 acres, That will leave us with 120 acres, which adjoins a 240 owned by family. Surrounded by state land so no houses, but lots of deer and elk. Also they build the fence...

    I would really like a turbo 400 in my truck

    I bought my 32 spline output shaft for my 205 from Advanced Adapters. Comes with the bearing, (bigger OD in my application,) yours may have the bigger OD already, but check. They are great to deal with as well, been around for a long time, and great tech line and customer service.

    Multiple Battery types and the danger of diode damage with modern batteries mixed with Lead Acid and OEM alternators.

    Best Grease

    I have a whole fleet of trucks, tractors, swathers etc, and use a moly based grease from Mobile, have never had a bearing fail. Like Perry said grease regular, I bought a milwaukee 12V grease gun with a four foot tube, an absolute lifesaver. Pretty hard to buy bad grease.

    Thanks Andrew and Zach, I can't hardly believe I live here either, it is beautiful. Good rain last night, so Jan and I spent all day cutting dead trees and burning junk wood, (nails, fencing).

    I would really like a turbo 400 in my truck

    The first gear ratio of a 700r4 is a steep 3.06, the TH400 and 350 are right at is 2.52, depending on where you get your info. 4L80e are relative cheap to buy, and upgrade. Friend with a 700r4 in a 650 horse gen 1 427 cost him over 4000. I have ridden in that car and did not like the big jump...

    Adding on to my shop for almost two weeks now, 85% done, but rain and snow for the next three days. Think I can get done by Sunday, the body is sore and tired. Installed over 800 screws on the roof and siding, legs and hands feel it. Will be nice to get my "stuff" under cover. Bolted to the...
