Dirteatr717 Posted December 7, 2012 Author Share Posted December 7, 2012 I had originally added a daystar comanche 2" lift that came with new greasable 2" lift shackles and yeah my driveshaft moved out about an inch, if you have an auto and a 44 look for a manual/d35 Comanche in the junkyard and it'll be 2" longer I think? Don't quote me on it lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bounty Hunter Posted December 7, 2012 Share Posted December 7, 2012 Enjoyed your build thread. Not major but I would have used the square ubolts on the rear axle instead of the round ones, it'll be a tighter install. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirteatr717 Posted January 2, 2013 Author Share Posted January 2, 2013 Thanks for reading :wavey: The ubolts haven't moved yet so they're holding up fine although the square ones would fit better. Not really an update but I'm dropping my fullwidth axles off to get geared within the next week or so. I also think I need a new slave cylinder which I'm not looking forward to doing :( I put in a new hydraulic line and clutch master within the past couplemonths and no matterhow many times I bleed it the pedal occasionally goes straight to the floor... If it's not one thing it's another gahhh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88whitemanche Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 I'm actually in the same boat but its better to do it all at one time I have to replace lines master and clutch and slave arm and a leg but well worth it in the long run once I drop it off at the shop lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirteatr717 Posted January 3, 2013 Author Share Posted January 3, 2013 I'll be doing it in my sandy driveway! I'll never bring my truck to a shop for labor, I have the tools, time and ability to do almost anything so why pay an arm and a leg for it? My only setback is money for parts :poorcollegekid: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88whitemanche Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 Lol I wish I had the tools that's what kills me the most going to have to have to invest in some air power tools Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirteatr717 Posted January 5, 2013 Author Share Posted January 5, 2013 Air tools are nice but I like using regular ole arm power haha Dropped off my axles to get geared 1/4/13 and I'm hoping to have my axles complete and installed with hydro assist before 3/15/13 for a huge Rausch Creek trip. Basically I'm gunna have to bust my a55! On top of all that I needa install brown dog poly motor mounts, new clutch/slave cylinder, upgrade the brake booster and brake master since my brakes suck. Also make rock sliders and a transfer case skid.... $#!&tttt the list keeps growing :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huck731 Posted January 5, 2013 Share Posted January 5, 2013 internal or external slave. if internal it actually isnt as bad as you thing. shop time is 4.5 ours, and that about as long as it took me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirteatr717 Posted January 8, 2013 Author Share Posted January 8, 2013 It's internal and I'm almost due for a new clutch too so I might put a new one in while I have it all apart. Bought a brand new Mopar OEM slave off fleabay for $70 shipped, thanks for the link Hornbrod! Ok I need these for my truck to stay drivable which is taking away from my axle/tire fund! Clutch Motor mounts Exhaust manifold Replaced my rear driveshaft u-joint today 20 minutes before I went on a lunch date lol not a single needle bearing was still in the axle yolk caps hahah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
huck731 Posted January 10, 2013 Share Posted January 10, 2013 I was going to say to get the whole clutch kit, it's actually alot cheaper than just buying the slave cylinder. I bought a slave from partsgeek at 70 but normal price was upwards of 200, the clutch kit that comes with the slave cylinder is only 140 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirteatr717 Posted January 12, 2013 Author Share Posted January 12, 2013 Already got the slave so I'll just get a heavy duty clutch and pressure plate soon. Parts are piling up and I'm running out of room for them in my garage... Started keeping stuff in my bedroom under my bed, don't tell my mom she might flip hahahah Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirteatr717 Posted January 18, 2013 Author Share Posted January 18, 2013 Brett Ive never even heard of that singer before lol Got a sweet Jeep gem today :D only took me forever to find a mechanical cluster that wasn't red and black! I'm thinking about putting LEDs behind the cluster while I have it all apart Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirteatr717 Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 Parts have been accumulating and I've been snowboarding too much, time to do some work! Putting a new Luk clutch and pressure plate along with a brand new mopar slave cylinder tomorrow and if I'm not frozen after that maybe I'll put my new-to-me mechanical gauge cluster in. Brett (Cherokee_chief) broke my window crank last night on our way to the bar and I think my window is frozen shut. Also ordered almost all of my axle brackets and I'm on the hunt for a D60 35spline spool and axle shafts. Found the whole drum brake assembly with newer parts for 100 bucks for the 60 and that'll get me going faster for my axle swap. Pics because nobody reads paragraphs anyway :D There's also a Manche fuse box behind my longboard, got that for free ;) It's been a good winter so far for riding :) also over the last couple weeks my jobs been getting some of the recycled I-beams from the world trade center to clean up, cut, redrill and use in the freedom tower and parts of the manhattan subway. Thought it was kinda cool to work with Skanska for such a big project. Also if you look in the bed of the blue f150 theres a cage my shop built for a 2013 AEV 4door wrangler... Came out pretty nice!

88whitemanche Posted January 25, 2013 Share Posted January 25, 2013 Sweet deal I wish I could go and snowboard there's no snow in south Florida lol sucks....and imagine I'm freezing in 50 degree weather....

Dirteatr717 Posted January 25, 2013 Author Share Posted January 25, 2013 With the wind chill it was -3° two days ago during the day! and I was outside working on those I-beams hahah Definitely go snowboarding if you ever get the chance, its one of my favorite things to do :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirteatr717 Posted January 26, 2013 Author Share Posted January 26, 2013 Froze my butt off today, got everything apart and couldn't find my freakin E12 socket for that pain in the butt bolt at the top of the tranny to separate the tranny from the motor, bought one and it got dark so I cleaned up and I'll finish tmrw. Also got my Ruffstuff axle brackets in the mail today yahoo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88whitemanche Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 Have any pics on the work? I'm in the decision wether to start tomorrow on bring down the tranny to do the clutch and slave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dirteatr717 Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 Basically its not fun and unless you have really long arms, getting to the bolts at the top of the tranny is a giant pain. I'd let the tranny down far enough so you can see all of them! here's a few tips after my experience... There's the 2 E12 bolts at the top and one I think 1/2" between both of them, then on the driver side is the (2) 13mm CPS bolts and on the passenger side is another 1/2" then the 2 starter bolts and then (1) 18mm on each side on the bottom and another 1/2" in the middle... Leave the tranny in 1st gear so you can spin the driveshaft yolks to line up the splines into the clutch and the pilot bearing. I didn't really get any pics worth looking at but here yah go lol new pressure plate and clutch bolted and torqued to 40 ft lbs as specified Old stuff and stupid slave that died on me I slid my tranny and tcase back on a motorcycle jack just past the crossmember and had enough room to work around everything and didn't have to pickup the tranny and tcase back onto the lift. Tomorrow I'm going to the do it yourself car wash and getting every speck of salt off my truck!!!! YUCK!!! Also I knew I needed a new manifold but here's the crack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
