    California Rubicon Run Summer 2024

    Nice K10! I had a 74 C10 that I slammed on 20s and built a mean ass 350 for it. Definitely worlds off from the Jeep life. I can't wait to get back on the Rubicon either. My Jeep has been down for over a year and I am dying to get some fun in!

    California Rubicon Run Summer 2024

    Alright fellas it's time to get back in the action!! Let's use this thread to plan out a Rubicon trip sometime around July.

    32RH transmission rebuild

    Damn, Just when I thought I was gonna get all the parts stuffed back in I found more things to replace... All the (thrust) washers in the planetary gear sets were tossed. Thought I would be ok because the backlash was within tolerance (.036") but I am sure glad I pulled it apart to clean it out...

    32RH transmission rebuild

    Ok so I got some work done on the trans last weekend. So far the rebuild has been pretty easy. It is pretty much just take it apart and put it all back together. Far easier than building an engine and even easier than the manual transmissions I have rebuilt. I should have it all back together...

    4.0 engine noise

    Automatic? If so check your torque converter bolts, if there is an aluminum buildup on the bolt heads they're hitting the dust cover. Mine were hitting the dust cover and making a similar sound. Had to remove the trans to straighten out the cover and replaced the bolts. Be very careful with...

    Savvy gas tank skid backorder

    I ordered a set of control arms from them and got them in about 3 weeks. I had good luck contacting Savvy by phone and they were able to give me a good estimate on when to expect my arms. They even got here a little earlier than they said. Just make sure you don't call during lunch, they won't...

    32RH transmission rebuild

    Well OPT kinda screwed me and only sent me a partial order. Still waiting on the front kick down band from them. So I guess I will just install my control arm skids and Savvy control arms while I wait...

    32RH transmission rebuild

    Thanks for the input. I ended up finding all my parts but had to go through 10+ different vendors to source them all. As @mrblaine said, they are a little picky when it comes to the right parts fitting so I had to do my homework and shop around to be sure I got the right stuff.

    32RH transmission rebuild

    I looked around but even a core in unknown state is $500+. I was able to source all the parts I need for about $250 (including tools) and I know I will have a good transmission in the end. I did start to wonder how I could have all this destruction without any signs of metal shavings in the pan...

    32RH transmission rebuild

    Ok so here is the bad... Rear Front clutch Bushings are shot: Forward Drum is shot! Not sure how/when this broke BC I never found the pieces: Rear support is gouged: Reverse Drum is also gouged: I am working on sourcing the parts.

    32RH transmission rebuild

    Holy crap guys, this thing took a beating... I will post some pics and information once I get to my PC but there are definitely some issues with the hard parts. 😪
