]2eDeYe Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 Wow, you did a nice job on that driveshaft, trans and gas tank. :blink: Quote Link to comment
slodat Posted March 12, 2012 Report Share Posted March 12, 2012 What failed on the one piece driveline? Do you regret going one-piece? Quote Link to comment
fastdadd Posted March 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 the u bo;t that holds the axle to the spring came loose and let the axle move and pulled the drive shaft out of the trans letting it flop around until it fell out as for the one piece no i dont regret it but if the carrier bearing had been there the rear u joint would have broke and not the trans Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted March 13, 2012 Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 as for the one piece no i dont regret it but if the carrier bearing had been there the rear u joint would have broke and not the trans Or you would have just shredded the carrier bearing and mount. I think you would have had issues either way. Quote Link to comment
fastdadd Posted March 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 the trans, fuel tank and new axle bolts are in i will take the drive shaft into six states the week and have them make me a new one Quote Link to comment
fastdadd Posted April 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2012 got tired of looking at it on jack stands so i put it on the ground then started it up and let it warm up....trans sounds good and no leaks from the fuel system now if that damn drive shaft would hurry up so i can start driving it again Quote Link to comment
fastdadd Posted May 7, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 7, 2012 finaly got all the parts together and every thing is in the truck now i just need to put fluid in the trans and check everything one more time.....i will be glad to get past this and on to other things Quote Link to comment
fastdadd Posted May 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 8, 2012 i took it for a short drive today. Feels good after work i will put the interior back together and take it for a little bit more of a drive......i is nice to have back an old friend Quote Link to comment
fastdadd Posted May 21, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 when i took it out for the short test drive it lost on of the caps on a u-joint. so i picked up another one and put it in today then took it on that short drive. felt good. had to fix a pinched spedo cable. and this trans is really sloppy in third gear but i will get used to it.

converted_to_datsun Posted May 21, 2012 Report Share Posted May 21, 2012 I've seen your truck around town for years. It actually got me inspired to get my 620. I like the tan rising sun with the black. Quote Link to comment
