Yeah, we’ve been down that road already, and it’s downright painful.
Clamped the loop in it with too much slack. I have to cut right where the clamp is, so now the cable is too short.
Which river? Econ? St Johns?
Peace
If you have a Dremel with a cut-off wheel, and you are careful, you can cut the ferrule off instead of cutting the cable. Don’t ask how I know this…
Too late just tried to clamp the cut off piece to what’s left, plenty of distance and would work … if there was any f*cking room to squeeze and clamp it in place. Just an aggravating task, but a new cable tomorrow. $50 throttle into $60 I guess.
If I may, you should wait till The Forum has spoken before tackling the next project.
Pulled my Dana 35 cover and drained the oil...was about 300 miles into the initial break in...but I wasn't getting the Eaton E-locker to function...did get it to lock up empty and was able to get it to engage/disengage cover off and empty.
Rigged up my gradiated funnel...twisted off...in a bench vise under the Jeep proped up with 2x4s so I could measure exact amounts and pumped 1.8 quarts out of the funnel...man that lube locker gasket sure made this a quicker project...
And the e-locker worked! Guessing I overfilled the diff...plus 85w140...
Not much glitter either!
And I wired up my in cab winch controls and troubleshot/schemed how to get my master arm switch to work on the lockers...I put a switch in front of the shifter that interrupts ground so I wouldn't accidentally switch on the lockers...there are two grounds on the Carling switches...one for the upper and lower indicator lights...I have one for the dash lights always grounded and the switch side for the relay trigger through the arm switch...but somehow they are internally bused together. Also need to rig a ground triggered relay for a winch power light indicator.

I have contended that the power we all crave will reveal every chassis shortcoming when things start happening faster... If nothing but the wheel base , That alone would make it hard to hang onto. I have seen some that were so fast that people got rid of them pretty quick-

What was on Chris Rocks’ face the next day? Fresh Prints.I agree with Howard Stern about that slap.
He said "Smith, only got up to fight Rock, because he’s much bigger than the comedian."
“If Jason Momoa would have made that joke, [Smith], like a bitch, would have sat there in his seat. He would have said, ‘Thank you for acknowledging my wife, Mr. Momoa,’”
p.s. It's funny how jokes about his wife offend him, but her sleeping with other guys is ok with him.That must be "Hollywood Love".
It is tricky because the loop elongates- best way is to use safety wire til it is just right- then mark with a sharpie and install the crimp.
Top down, cool evening, met family at local State Park - had a blast. Not one for top down in real cool weather, but it was great.
on the Dana 35 diff cover, it’s possible for the fill plug to be screwed in far enough to interfere with an e locker. Some Teflon tape on the fill plug should help it tighten up before hitting the locker.
