WiscoXJ Posted April 30, 2015 Author Posted April 30, 2015 Here are some photos finally of what all is done so far. Need to bleed the brakes and install the shocks then test drive time. Brake lights aren't working but thatll be easy enough to figure out
Zebvance Posted May 1, 2015 Posted May 1, 2015 are your motor mounts broke? The reason I ask Is because It looks like the engine is tweaked at a angle. Mine was like that to because my motor driver side mount was broke and the engine settled back and to the right some.

Once its running and driving how I want it I'm going to get the brown dog ones.
WiscoXJ Posted May 8, 2015 Author Posted May 8, 2015 figured id give an update. truck is almost done. drove it for the first time ever last night. I have no head lights or dash lights so that's cool
rustybottoms88 Posted May 10, 2015 Posted May 10, 2015 You might think about just driving it during the day until you get headlights. Lol
WiscoXJ Posted May 12, 2015 Author Posted May 12, 2015 Took the truck for a few little spins today. But going from park to drive it dies, same if your on an incline in drive it will die. If u keep the rpms a little higher and go to drive it won't die. Idle air valve? Any ideas?
WiscoXJ Posted May 13, 2015 Author Posted May 13, 2015 Seems a little harsh for a vac leak. Plus I just plumbed everything. I'll double check tho
rustybottoms88 Posted May 14, 2015 Posted May 14, 2015 How is the idle when in park? Does it idle in gear after it is coaxed into the initial gear engagement?
WiscoXJ Posted June 2, 2015 Author Posted June 2, 2015 ya it did. Ended up neing the idle air valve. after that was fixed I took it down the road and I was getting a loud grinding. ended up being the tcase. I don't know how the tcase goes bad by taking it out of one truck and putting it in other but I got a new one for free so whatever. trying to find time now to put it back in and test everything out. then I need to find out why my low beams don't work as well as my hi blower setting. then I need to get my a/c working
WiscoXJ Posted June 5, 2015 Author Posted June 5, 2015 Typical night with the mj.. Attempt a step forward. Take ten backwards. New tcase was 23 spline like I needed but had a lip inside the input that wouldn't let it slid in all the way which led to me learning how to swap inputs on the fly. Oh so fun.
rustybottoms88 Posted June 5, 2015 Posted June 5, 2015 Tough love from the MJ. How did the chain look?
WiscoXJ Posted June 5, 2015 Author Posted June 5, 2015 in the original tcase everything looked like hell. I couldn't hardly get the synchros to match up by hand. in the other one everything looked almost new. the magnet had barely any debris on it

Kickinmule Posted June 9, 2015 Posted June 9, 2015 If you're gonna make an omelette, you gotta break some eggs. My omelette usually turns into scrambled eggs that the dog gets to eat...
sang_route Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 if your that far might as well get a 231C outa an s10 and swap over the heaver duty internals great build btw, never surender :wrench:
WiscoXJ Posted June 23, 2015 Author Posted June 23, 2015 Where has it been? It was at a buddies shop due to me living in an apartment complex
rustybottoms88 Posted June 26, 2015 Posted June 26, 2015 Finally got its shoes on I like the shoes and the topper. Do you work at a VW dealership?
