i just went out side and rolled my truck and watched the pinion spin. It looked fine and didnt hear anything out of the normal, so I think its fine.

 

Thats good. His made a major grind noise.

 

I went wheeling with my buddy in his Comanche today in Memphis,Tn in a place called the bottoms and we had a great day until be got to end of the trail and decided to go through the last mud hole and the truck sank like 3 ft into the mud. It took 2 hrs for help to get to us. http://s371.photobucket.com/albums/o...t=IMG_0550.mp4

 

got the drive shaft back in today. yay!!! I also pickup up a used but very nice looking rear 3rd member and guess what!!!! I'm going to weld it up and throw it in the yota!!! Bad idea? maybe,but we'll see. Thats why I bought a spare haha

 

I just welded my spare 3rd member, looks like crap and I started an awesome fire but I got it done. Im going to wait till next week maybe until i install it. I was a little bit more work than I figured but if it holds up, which it should, It'll be worth it. I hope. hahaha.

 

This has been a great weekend, I just picked up a 31x10.5x15 Cooper Discoverer tires with about 90% tread for cheap.They're mounted on ford wheels but I'll just sell those for like 10 bucks each.

 

I got my 31's mounted today

 

Your gonna have a nice pla rig when your all done!

 

thanks man, as soon as I get a car or another truck im really going to start building this thing

 

yea son!!! the will be in the yota hopefully this Saturday. Im also going to help a buddy install a Spartan locker in the front of his Comanche. It'll be a learning experience for the both of us. And sorry for the horrible cell phone pic.

 

ummm yea

 

My buddy came over today and helped install my welded rearend. It did amazingly in 2wd. Im so happy with it!!!! Soon I will take some videos.

 

Its a while since I've posted on this thread hahaha. I'll update a little. Back in late January I sold the Yota. And about a month and a half ago I got her back with a few problems. The timing has jumped and the guy I sold her to rigged up some kind of retarded exhaust that hung down so from the truck. I hate retards. The down pipe is broken where it connects to the flange that bolts to the manifold. My uncle is brazing it for me. Im supposed to pick it up tonight. I still need to get a muffler for. I just installed new plugs in it yesterday so now I just need to pick up my exhuast and get this timing fixed. If anyone has any timing "tips" Im all ears!!!

 

I did a compression earlier and heres what I got.

#1-91 Dry. 120 Wet

#2-92 Dry. 121 Wet

#3-0 Dry and Wet

#4-0 Dry and Wet

I reckon its time for new head, cam and timing set.

 

Nice truck!! 0 on 2 cylinders???? ouch could be head could be rings could be a lot of things. good luck!! keep us posted

 

I totally forgot about the rings. That would require a leak down test right? Im not sure.

 

I cant see rings being that bad on 2 cylinders at the same time, anything is possible. I think you have something compromised that is letting the pressure off inbetween the 2 cyclinders since they are beside each other. I would really suspect the head. That would be the cheapest route. Hopefully it isnt in the block.

 

It'll be a couple of months before I will have extra funds to get this fixed but I'll take the head to a shop and have em check it out. And go ahead and the replace timing gear while im in there. Hopefully I can find a 84 or 85 truck with a good engine without a title for around 500 to 700.
