    Nv4500 shifter seal bent??

    Whats the correct assembly for the spacer/bushings the bolts go through? They had the bushing in the shift tower not in the rubber piece. I think it pushed down on the corners which caused the bending? You can see marks around the bolt holes Edit: After doing some research I think they...

    Nv4500 shifter seal bent??

    Yes, a transmission shop allegedly replaced the clutch, and both the master and slave cylinder before I owned it. Guess I'll see what happens when I put a new seal on it

    Nv4500 shifter seal bent??

    I had a pretty bad leak from the shifter on top of the NV4500 trans. I ordered a new seal, the square one under the shifter. I haven't got it yet but I'm worried it may not be correct? The one I pulled out is bent and the one online appears to be flat. Is it supposed to be metal on top and...

    New rear diff yoke, different size u-joints?

    I checked it with a caliper and i believe it will work. My only other concern is that the current u-joint has no c-clips on the yoke end. It was held centered in the yoke by little nubs on the outer edge of the yoke where the u-joint caps rest. The new yoke does not have these nubs to hold the...

    New rear diff yoke, different size u-joints?

    I just purchased this yoke and seal kit from napa https://www.napaonline.com/en/p/NOE8196786 Everything fit well, my only issue is that the u-joints on the driveshaft are to big for the yoke. The old yoke is trashed unfortunately so using that is not a option. The website says its a exact...

    Frame behind cab, is this to thin?

    I put everything back together and sprayed the whole frame with fluid film for now. My plan is to do what cumminsfever said, just weld new steel over the infected areas. The bed bolts are all new now so I know everything will come apart easy enough when I'm ready. Justkickintires I'd be...

    Frame behind cab, is this to thin?

    Finally got the crossmember off so I can access the area better. It's not as bad as I thought, I'm considering just removing some of the upper and lower c channel and having 3/16" steel welded in. The middle section is still pretty thick from looking at the factory holes. Using square stock as...

    Frame behind cab, is this to thin?

    I like that idea, do the prep work myself and get it to the point of welding. Ask around or hire someone to do that part. My only other concern is how is that cab mount/bed mount going to fir after adding 3/16" of steel. I assume it's enough for the bolts to not line up correctly. They didn't...

    Frame behind cab, is this to thin?

    Damn that's pretty rough. Getting that straight again would not be easy That's a good idea. Anything to keep it from moving. I would definitely do that. 110v mig even with gas wouldn't be enough? Unfortunately that's what I have. I might have to pay a shop if that's the case

    Frame behind cab, is this to thin?

    That was my fear actually, it would be difficult to treat the bare metal inside without compromising the welds. Could I cut out a chunk of the lower section without it folding in? And weld in fresh metal? I hit it hard with a regular hammer as well as a slag hammer, I have yet to go through...

    Frame behind cab, is this to thin?

    I'm doing some work to this k1500. The rest of the frame is nice and solid but this one spot concerns me. The middle and top sections on the frame are still thick but the bottom is definitely getting thin. I do plan on covering the frame in fluid film before putting the bed back on. Will the...

    Good source for rear frame crossmember?

    Hello, just bought this truck. It's in decent shape for a new england truck. The rear crossmember has some rot so I want to replace it. Took a hammer to the frame rails and it's solid fortunately. Does anyone know of a good source for a rear crossmember? When I google it I see a few being sold...
