Front is 4.10 rear 3.55 so just rear getting swapped out to match front. Later front gets spartan locker..

I see.
I'd like to go 3.55. 3.73 wouldn't be a big change, but for my driving may be worth it

Need 4.10's to tow...and run the 38's

Also only seeing as it is only a 450 RPM diff between the two so a 3.73 would barely be worth effort to swap IMHO.

When I locate 650 ft lb tq wrench and do my KP's and inner seals of D60 I will toss in the Spartan Locker in front.....lest locate free posi that fits a d rebuild it tight w new clutches.

2x Locked 4x ...

Ah, yeah. The bigger tire.
I run near stock size. 3.55 would do me well. Lol

Did I ever put a picture up of my torque mulitiplier for the king pins? It lets you use a standard 125 ft lb clicker wrench. If you are interested let me know. It's nothing special. I made it myself.

Well after a ton of crappola workarounds...download Lock Right manual to cell.... connect phone to comp...transfer file to comp and finally I could print manual...

Thus out to shop and voila...one Lock Right installed....no tech 101 cause the damn instructions make it easy....

Installed 4.10 ring gear...but need to clean all bolts apply locktite blue and torque to spec. Guess figure out how to hold case and torgue bolts...hmm..mod an axle to hold it in vice I am thinking myself...

Pinion races are now in deep freeze....

Thats where I am currently...just going to lookup all specs for torque specifications and prep for final assembly soon.

Hope to wrap this up soon.

Thanks for looking

Think ya did...but do it again if u like...I am partial to correct tool due to flex induced in x'er....

Room mate works for logging company he is checking on borrowing correct torque wrench. I can get a 600 ft lb one for bout 400 bucks...

Thanks

Cut 1 of my spare axles...set it up in a vice...leveled axle stub then with a fresh ginding disc cut two flats...using a level again to get as close to parrallel flats as I could...turned out well.

Now I have a slick lil tool for these axles

Installing and torquing to 120 lbs feet with Blue 242 lock tite

Done Red heads are for tracking start and criss cross pattern torquing bolts...

Packed in bags n box to keep out the greeblies...till installation.

Thanks fer looking

What a day....

So when I was say 5lbs boost at around 2400 2600 rpm engine fell flat on its face big time...choked off completely.

Culprit was a 90 deg 3" rubber boot between air filter housing and turbo...my solution today...make a 3" aluminum 90 sleev fitting inside the boot to combat this collapsing situation....success! I can now get more boost and run to the governor!

Next a quick weld of wing back onto bumper....

Found my inside radius modified CSEK so now I will begin my 4.10 swap so I can finally have 4wd and later run my 38's.

Guessing since E4OD build is too $pendy right now I will do an engine swap instead removing the engine from the 91 and dropping turbo on it. Stick this oil leaker/oil burning beast into the 91 and maybe sell it.

Well nuff fer now...back at it in a few.

Rear diff...gutted...no bearings nadda...going to rest for the day...am beat.

Tomorrow wire brush off rear face and the diff cover.... axle shaft faces and hub faces..clean out inside of diff old oil etc and prep for bearing race install.

Setup CSEK and check beaing torque load. Then once set install pinion seal amd yoke and carrier w lunch box.

Swap out rear drive shaft for correct one w larger ujoints

Add front drive shaft....

Prep up the skid plates for tcase and midship fuel tank.

Woo hoo...look out 4x hear I come

Oh ya suppose should add in my rear wiring for trailer plug...and midship box plug for either a slide in camper or 5th wheel.

Tired of this truck not being what it can!

 

[riotwarrior]

Got my 4.10 installed.....one day gutting diff one day installing it.

My son amd his gf came oit Sunday and he helped me on my install whilst cutting and crimping his wires for his CC 93 4X IDI.

We got it all buttoned up with CSEK and yesterday I swapped out the drive shaft and installled front shaft and did test run

Having locker in have not noticed any big issues or bangs tight turning ...yet.

Nice have my 4x working again...woot.

Next engine swap and then king pins!!

This tool is well worth investment!!

Whenever you run big tires,you really gotta gear her down to make up for the extra weight and increased effective ratio.I bet she feels like a truck again.

Where did you get that tool? Looks pretty slick.
