Sorry for the delay but by the time I closed up the shop last night I was spent. The GM part # for the transmission heat shield is 25980339. Hope that helps. Mike

Thank you. His fiancé lives in Kaysville so he gets to Layton area a bit. Mike

Nice table covers for your mill. I thought long and hard about making some very similar out of aluminum for my mill but decided to use a neoprene rubber about 1/2" thick. Still sometimes waffle on whether I made the right choice or not. I like the rubber for setting things on but the aluminum...

I have the GM part number at my shop. I will get it for you and post it. It was a bear to locate so I am happy to share it. Mike

Thanks. I thought my son was going to post a build thread on it but he hasn't gotten around to it and doubt he will as he has so many other irons in the fire. I had to steal his thunder I guess. Thank you for the compliment. I love hanging out in the shop working with my son. Unfortunately...

I decided that while I have the body off the frame that I may as well replace my fuel pump. The OEM one has over 90k miles on it and I’ve seen them fail as early as around 100k, but then again I’ve seen them go many, many more than that also. I just thought it would be beneficial to replace it...

Are you talking about the new shop build? I think I have a few isolated pictures here but my complete build is over on garagejournal.com. Here is a link to the complete build which was done in real time starting in January 2017...

Here is the starting point for the engine swap portion of the build. Factory engine with mostly OEM engine bay with a little extra wiring in convoluted tubing for a few accessories. Some of that will be going away and I will relocate the couple of relays to one fenderwell or the other. The C1...

Knuckles installed and sleeve pressed in place for the flipped drag link. Tabs welded onto the Artec raised heavy duty track bar bracket for the steering ram. Steering ram and hoses installed. I’ve changed the hose routing on the one pointing straight up. I’ve added 90-degree elbows to...

Added a couple of gussets to the track bar mount on the axle which will also hold the hydraulic steering ram. My 5.38’s removed. They served me well for the past 90k plus driven miles and probably close to another 35-40k flat towed miles. New 4.56 gears being prepped for installation. I...

Next I tore my newly acquired and low mileage NP241J transfer case down to swap the input gear with the Advance Adapters 32-spline gear from the Chrysler 23-spline. New 32-spline input gear installed into planetary and ready to clean case and reassemble. Ready for a small bead of sealant and...

Thank you. The 6.0 would be easily enough power for a 6k pound Jeep but I stumbled across this new 6.2 L94 crate engine and just couldn't pass it up. I think 400+ HP is probably way overkill for me but what the hell, overkill is under-rated.:D It would have been easier to fit an LS3 into the...

I tore my slightly used 6L80 down so I could send off my ECM and TCM back to Robbie @ Motech so he could program them and sinc them together as I don't have GM TIS available to me. TIS is a Technical Information System that GM uses to upload programming to a GM vehicle. It is also necessary to...

Thank you Nate. Glad to see you were able to move and hopefully it was a nice upgrade for ya although I know you were very proud of your yard as you should be, it was gorgeous. I know how much work moving is and how much it takes to get a new place whipped into shape so I wish you the best. I...

Well I've been away from the forum for a while and I really haven't done anything new to the Jeep for most of 2018 other that drive the hell out of it and we wheeled quite a bit. My wife and I have attended about 4 Jeep rallies over the summer, one of which we hosted in Ouray, CO in August and...

Thank you Greg. I appreciate that. Don't know why I've been absent as I don't have a good excuse just haven't been on this forum for a while. Thank you Brent, I appreciate that. Funny, you've been absent from garagejournal and I've been absent from RME. Who'da thunk it? As for the tubing...

Lastly we turned out attention to the exhaust. I picked up a 10” long piece of 2.5” tubing that was expanded on one end for a slip fit and after mocking up we determined where it needed to be cut and then welded the tube into the Magnaflow muffler. I also picked up a 30-degree bend that we...

Moving along to brake lines. For brake lines we used an extended steel braided single line for an XJ (Cherokee) and ran it from the inside left framerail to the middle left rear axle truss where we drilled and tapped the truss to mount the “T” block. We then used extended rear brake lines for a...

Reid Racing knuckles installed. Axle shafts in place along with dust shields prior to the unit bearing. SKF unit bearing and ABS sensor installed and torqued in place. Teraflex Big Brake rotors installed. Tires mocked into place. Here she is sitting back down on its...

Undercarriage prepped, painted and undercoated prior to final assembly. Next step was to apply the Duplicolor Bedliner to the area that sparsely had undercoating,mainly the wheelwell areas. Final assembly and little finishing touches. We fabricated a small metal bracket that...
