datsunaholic Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Um, the light isn't gonna say anything if the bulb is burned out. I guess one way to check is to see if the front driveline freespins with the transmission in gear and the hubs (or in your case, hub) unlocked. If the T-case is in 2H (or N) the shaft will turn, if it's in 4H or 4L it won't And I mean spin it by hand, you don't need it running. Quote Link to comment
Zlich Posted November 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Im not arguing at all Im giving information from the last time I had it running on roads that needed it to go 60+ mph to the best that I can remember Im not saying any of you are wrong or right I know I am probably wrong on what my rpms were. but I do know it hasnt once been in 4l or even 4h I havnt touched that shifter at all because theirs not a cv axle. I dont have any reason to put it into 4wd because only my rear wheels will go. I know whats wrong with my truck and why its not working I just dont have the money to go buy a new carburetor and I havnt had the time to sit down and rebuild the stock one thats on it. if it wasnt for that I would take it out right now and give accurate numbers for you guys so you can help you. in all of my posts I have said "around 5k I think I cant remember." never have I said you guys where wrong on anything.

80daterpillar Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 Ok... 55mph =+ 29" tire + 5th gear (.85) + transfercase in hi + 4.11 gears = 2226rpm all the same shit with t-case in low = 4452rpm This is why people are telling you something is wrong. Given all the facts you have told us these are the calculations. Quote Link to comment
80daterpillar Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 If you don't have it in low, I see no other possibility besides the tach being toast. Is it an after market tach? And is is calibrated for a 4cyl? Quote Link to comment
Zlich Posted November 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 and Im not doubting that I would give you guys actual numbers of what it is for sure if I could right now. thats just what I think im pretty sure I am wrong but I havnt got a clue. I was just saying what I thought it was. when I get it running I will post more accurate numbers. Quote Link to comment
ggzilla Posted November 17, 2012 Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 OK, so no more talk about gear ratio until you get it running. Quote Link to comment
Zlich Posted November 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2012 I have both the stock and aftermarket tach set up and they both read the same thing. I already had the aftermarket one and had a feeling the stock one was toast so I put in the aftermarket one but that was way after I got back from driving it home. after then I never drove it higher than 55 give or take.

ready2hunt Posted May 19, 2014 Report Share Posted May 19, 2014 I know this is old, but..... I'm doing a rebuild right now, and want to verify that EVERYTHING vacuum can be removed, except for the dizzy advance, and of course the brake booster. Is this correct? I have a weber, and am using headers, so I will be doing the EGR block off as well. Quote Link to comment
