Motor and Drivetrain / Re: I want it i need it.....its time
« Last post by dsrace on Today at 06:26:47 AM »
No damage. I turn the water off when we leave. Got lucky and the guy that did some work for me 5 years ago came right over this morning and had us back in business before noon. 2 guys @ $135 an hour combined. Pretty reasonable for unscheduled repair at short notice. I was quite pleased I did not have to fix the shit myself. Plumbers are in short supply down here.

Glad they got it fixed and a good thing you shut the water off! I have no doubt plumbers are in short supply which makes that price amazing.

It's raining under our house at Waynoka. Broken water line. Apparently some of the towns cats fought to get under the house this winter and failed to close the crawl space door when they left. Gonna be stuck around the house till the plumber gets here-hopefully.

Well that sucks. I hope there is no foundation damage.

I hope I got the cv flanges sealed. The gear lube washed 90% of the grease out of that cv. New springs should be here today. Made mounts for the used seats i got from brian n. Children wanted seat sliders so they bought one. I don't like sliders but on them.  Will  probably be fine

Didn't want to work on Scott's anymore but, since I'll be running the red rail for this next trip, it needs a bit more work. First on the list is re seal the left trans cv cup. It was leaking gear lube into the cv on the last trip. Brakes, they kept fading on the last trip and the rears suck by design. Thought I had a bad master cyl on The front but after some checking, it looks like the front wheel bearings are too loose. I repacked the old bearings and thought I had them re assembled correctly. I was rocking the wheel and there is more move.ent then should be. I will have to shim if I cannot move one cotter pin hole.

Rear end, ordered new springs as it is bad. Many saw how bad it pogo sticker on the dunes. It was set up for a lot more weight then I'm putting to it so thats one factor.  Comp rate is 60 and rebound is 90. Going to slow rebound to 2-1 , if I have the shims and I ordered 225/325lbs springs. It is coil assist air shock so I would rather go light and add psi. It currently has 325/400 lb springs. Setting ride height with only .5" of pre load now. I know I can go as much as 2" of pre load. The cross over collar is set just about as high as it can go to avoid coil bind now.  That is a massive drop in spring rate and coils aren't cheap.  Ill bring the old 325 upper with me and if nessacary ill swap the 225 out. Don't have room or time to calculate it out the right way at this time. The pogo sticking is dangerous imo as it makes it very un predictable.

Would also like to install the other seats but thats low on the do to list.

Did not know any of that ! Great info.

I am not sure on glue or gasket. I know both well but ease of replacement is a factor and we both know which one is easier.

Ground tooth jig saw blades will not be painted and teeth have very sharp points like circular saw blades are. The blade will usually be hollow ground as well making tight radius cuts easier. 10 points per inch is a good choice. The teeth will also be alternate set left/right just like a good saw blade is as opposed to regular wavy set junk.
