Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Thanks guys!!!

Its been kinda slow on it lately but i scrapped my white truck out for parts to finish the other two so once i get all the parts and frame out of the way then i may pull the crew in and get it running right.

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Providing someone doesn't keep stealing your parts right? :lol: :sumo:

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Well i was going to get the crew in the shop and replace the battery cables and put the manifold on that i brazed up and clean all the grounds to see if that will help the computer problem or see if the computer is bad but the drivers wheel was locked up (brand new rear end) and it ended up that something is wrong with the locker that was rebuilt so im going to take it to work to find a better one or just to an open diff and call it good, so it has to wait a couple more days..

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Hm, what does that locker fit just in case you go to an open diff? :lol:

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

10 bolt ;)

I think you will grenade it the way you drive though :lol:

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

SOMETHING HAS TO HOLD UP!!!!

:lol:

and no, I don't have 500 for an auburn locker.....

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Lincoln lock it!!!
;)

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

yeah, I guess I could do that but then how would I turn? :lol:

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

By using your steering wheel, duh! :lol:

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

:lol:

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

You ever welded up your gears?

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Heck yeah i welded some up before, makes it a paint to turn in the rain :lol:

Bring it over ill F it up for ya with the stick welder ;) :lol:

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Sure have.
Drove a truck with welded spiders for better than a year in high school. I didn't have any problem turning, even in the rain. It was hard to keep it straight in the snow though, and it plays hell on the wheel studs. It was cool to cruise through sonic with one wheel chirping around the turn though ;)

BTW, the welded spiders behaved better on the street than my Detroit locker I had in my '67 Bronco. When that thing unlocked around a curve and relocked when you straightened out it would let you know it! :lol:

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

:lol: I'm not welding the gears. I've done it before and I got tired of trying to keep my vehicle from sliding into someone everytime I turned at an intersection and having to nearly stop mid-turn everytime a cop was close by because the inside tire wouldn't stop squalling.

Did you figure out what was wrong with your posi unit? You said it locked up the drivers side tire but not the passenger side?

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Yeah the locker was bad, so i have another to put in it. I removed the starter and found 2 ground straps that were bad so i hope that helps the computer problem but we'll see.

Oh and i got the new trans installed in the green X cab too :metal:

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Right on!! You driving it now then?

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Yeah, Inquiring minds would like to know......

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

:lol::lol::lol:

No i dont think the TV cable is adjusting right and im worried about it pissing away 700 bones over something stupid like that...

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

So.............. adjust it right mr. scott

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

It's funny how one little thing can cause so much headache.

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Yeah no kidding.. i bought a gauge to test the pressures to make sure that the cable is set correctly so hope all going well, ill let you know.. :smoke:

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

How did it go?

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

He's driving it now, if that tells you something ;)

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Yep driving the crap out of it :metal:

Next is the crew but think i may try and hit the 62 a bit before the meet ;)

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

I was referring to his trip to the tranny shop. I was going to follow him over there but he had to run another errand first.

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

yeah.....I was too

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Any word on the computer in the crew?

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

I guess I better clarify this a little bit for ya.

No, him driving the truck doesn't tell me anything. I already knew he was driving the truck obviously if I was going to follow him to the tranny shop. I was there when he finished putting it in. So, I was wondering what the guy at the tranny shop had to say or whether he made any adjustments to the tv cable.

Since I asked Scott the question not long after he and I had parted ways I must have "over simplified" and thought he'd know what I meant. My apologies spokesman Joe.

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

My bad, yeah i went over there and had him drive it to see what he thought of it, we pulled out on the street and he stands on it then it shifts to second and barks the tires, he says "well i guess its good to go" :lol:
Didnt do anything to the cable so i guess i had it set right to begin with (i hope..)



Well i found a couple ground that were burnt in two so i fixed them with the ground strap you gave me and all i have to do is put the new starter on and the manifold then i can see if its really the computer or if i might have gotten lucky and it was just the grounds, but we'll see..

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

hey Scott,
do you have an extra module that we can use to calibrate your speedo?

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

.......................

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

:lol: right on. Does it have a shift kit in it then?



Cool, I'll keep my fingers crossed for ya!

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Um i dont think so but ill look, im not sure what they look like to be honest, probably saw it a 100x :lol:


Thanks!! :metal:

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

should look like this

I think the one from the '95 will work.
You could swap it in and we could modify the one out of the '92

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Wonder what he would have done if it blew? :lol: :exit:

Glad to hear you got it going man! :thumbs:

Right on man. I hope the fix is that easy.

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Yeah that would have sucked if it did blow but then he would have to pull it out again :lol:

Joe- i dont remember seeing that around behind glove box.. ill look in my pile of crap, i mean parts and see if i can find it.

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

I think it may be mounted to the computer mount, IIRC.

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Dont remember seeing it, hope it didnt go with the dash...

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

:dohh:
that would suck!
Story of my life though :lol:
