Swampy Posted August 28, 2017 Share Posted August 28, 2017 I love your truck I'm surprised I haven't seen you around. Once mine is on the road we should definitely meet up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88whitemanche Posted August 28, 2017 Author Share Posted August 28, 2017 Most definitely, this year I haven't driven this truck that much as I should, my Cherokee has taken that toll.... but I'll be driving it more often as I can switch trucks week to week and take advantage of the current upgrades I have done to it...

88whitemanche Posted September 4, 2017 Author Share Posted September 4, 2017 What's up everyone so I've always had a leaky oil filler cap and never found a solution, always heard about using an bicycle tube and cut to size and put it under the cap...then I came across a YouTube video to something similar to the same problem I had... ended using a spectre part # 4310 its in the accessories aisle in auto zone Worked like a charm, hasn't leaked yet...

Same issue here. Tried prying up on my old cap's seal and it snapped. Swinging by Autozone to try the 4310 cap. Thank you, Sir. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Instead, on these old-style caps one should consider just running to Napa for the $3.29 replacement = BK 7031366. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

88whitemanche Posted September 15, 2017 Author Share Posted September 15, 2017 Welp, the Ax15 is starting to show its age... well I already knew it had a bad 2nd gear synchro and I figured I could nuture it along (since I got the trans for $150) until it finally gives out but 3rd gear synchro is starting to show it's face and the used throwout bearing I threw in is starting to squeal, so I'll keep driving it until it finally goes then I'll drop the trans to get rebuilt and get new clutch parts to put in... does anyone know the part # to the all metal throwout bearing for the external slave ?

88whitemanche Posted September 20, 2017 Author Share Posted September 20, 2017 Just ordered an nv3550 and the clutch parts needed... i didn't go with the centerforce clutch disk this time but I went with the 84 4cyl Camaro clutch disk from rockauto.com The ax15 I'll keep it laying around until I get a chance to try and rebuild it...

88whitemanche Posted October 22, 2017 Author Share Posted October 22, 2017 Well the nv3550 came in, I’ll get pics on that next time...started to remove the bolts that mate the trans to the engine I got everything off until I started getting to the driveshaft... the very last bolt greeted me with this with out a force of a turn... now either I got to either drill it out and put the original bolts back in or plan for ujoints straps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
