Im sure Jack welds it pretty well, not using too much heat, heating up the spiders and drive gear of the center, causing weakness.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.

Spent about an hour soldering the stereo harness together last night, tonight is the night hopefully.

I heard some people will be stopping by, I don't have beer but I'll be starting the night with a full bottle of vodka.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.

lol, i called it quits a little after 9.
I made good progress, changed out axle seals, put center diff back in, got a lot of tools put away.

Today, I have to install my shift kit and then re-install the valve body into the trans, install new (used) T-case, DP, intake, gauge cluster, stereo, oh and plug in my TCU.

Then I should be driving around!!

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.

Worked on it a little, busy day running around today.

Got the T-case & DP on, valve cover on.

I need to install the shift kit tomorrow and then its intake and interior then go time hopefully.

I'm going to watch some UFC with a good friend tonight.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.

Well I've been outside for about 6 hrs today, usually I've done all kinds of stuff in a time period like this, but today it was slow going.

I installed the shift kit and that's about it. Lots of springs and such was getting a little excited to be done, got the new trans filter bolted in and then wouldn't you know the knowledgeable folks at my local parts store sold me the wrong pan gasket.
Awesome, they will have a fel-pro tomorrow but I work 12 hrs at least and don't know if I'll make it up here before 9pm when they close or have power to put it on.

Still have interior stuff, intake pipe & MAS to install, then fill fluids and test drive.

Ordered my gauges today, so thats cool. With all the money I've spent and hopefully school starting next month I should be done for the year.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.

Its Alive!!.

well it has been since tuesday but I fucked up and did not put the shifter assembly back into the manual valve so I had to drop the pan again and valve body and put that together, more of a PITA than anything.

Car drives great, even better with teh modded TCU chip. A big thanks for JRohner on that, I want to say a remarkable member of our community makes me good to see there are still great people around and joining us.

I know I should have pics, but i promise this weekend. Also my new gauges came in today and I will be installing those tomorrow (hopefully) along with my NGK wideband that i need to pick up from MAP.

Car is a dream to drive really comfy the steering is super light, welded diff is fun.
I'm eager to hit some track days soon, like now.

Re: Big Brown's Automagic - The last episode in my DSM story.

Well I'm not sure where i left off, but I know I haven't updated with pics for a while so I'm going update some past posts with pics here and then keep going with what is current.

Studs in block to prevent stripping threads in block, also feels tighter.
4/26/11


Valve body out to install shift kit.


Auxillary valve body:


The awesome maze that is a valve body:


Springs under tension in upper valve body (not fun):


Napa gave me the wrong pan gasket (I wasn't happy):


Parking Pawl, make sure that it goes into the manual valve or it will make you fill a diaper on startup, not to mention waste time and fluid and patience.


Yay, back on the ground. 4x4 status!!


Draining old e85.


Cooler got to about 2 inches from the top.


Almost done:


Interior for about 2 days:


Begin of gauge install:


I took a pic of these wires because if you have owned a 1G you know how these suck,they aren't terrible but could be better. I plan to extend these like I did on my old car, it made pulling the cluster a ton easier.


Installing gauges:


90% finished product:


Not fun:


Well that's all the pics I have, I'll have to upload the new ones I have.

After dyno day I went out with the car and launched at about 28psi and broke the rear driver's axle in the rear end.
The following week I pulled the rear end with the help of some friends, found the new rear end was missing bolts and something else so I decided to pull the whole rear subframe, its sat untouched until tonight where I finished putting in poly bushings in the rear mustache bar and then decided to say F that to the rest of it till winter when I hopefully have more time and money.

I also installed solid driveshaft carrier bushings and I filled the driveshaft carrier bearings (1st time ever in 7 DSMs!) So we will see how that goes. Thankfully I had Mo right there when I was filling the bearings and he gave me the how to, pretty simple but def. was easier with him there.
Thank you.

I'll try and update soon with more pics and such, car should be together tomorrow.

Awesome job on the gauges Aaron.

Do you look at the ones where the heater / fan stuff was while driving?
