    NV4500 Removal and Reinstall

    My cousin has a 98 4wd 12v with NV4500. We replaced the pilot bearing, throw out bearing, and flywheel about two years ago. He said 5th gear now makes a terrible sound. He addressed this issue years ago but sounds like it’s back. Last time I removed this trans, I had to spread the frame rails...

    What is it?

    Found these when cleaning out my tool box this past weekend from my machine shop days. They came with a group of tools I purchased, never used them but thought they were neat. I’m sure they are for measuring spindle speed, just wondering if someone can shed some light on their exact use...

    I’m helping my cousin rebuild a little 2 cylinder Sanborn air compressor. He has no compressed air currently, which sucks. We found thisncompressor tossed in a burn pit filled with water on a ranch. Hauled it home and tore the motor and compressor down. All looked fine once he baked and dried...

    Getrag 360 reseal

    I’m tired of always having to be mindful of where I park or carry a sheet of OSB to slide under the trans of my 12v because of the oil leak. I’m 99% sure it’s the bearing retainer housing on the front of the trans. The oil that leaks is gold in color as the engine oil is darker in color. (Same...

    NV4500 oil type

    What type of oil should I be putting in this NV4500 I had worked on? Dodge recommends their own blend that is a dealer purchase. The guy who worked on the trans for me said Castrol 30 weight synthetic. What should I run? It’s a stock power daily driver 98 12v 4wd.

    Electric Brake Controller

    What is everyone using for an electric brake controller? I have a Tekonsha brand in two trucks that are different models and neither of them brake how I would like. It’s mostly with the gain adjustments that are annoying. No matter my adjustments, it’s applying about 30% brake when I’m at low...

    Compressor Starter Box Wiring

    I picked up a 5hp 60 gallon single stage compressor, but it didn't come with the starter box. Previous owner was starting it through the pressure switch, which I'm not a fan of. I purchased a starter box and now I'm unsure on how/where to exactly hook up wires. Box is mounted, two 110 legs and...

    Billet Output 48re with Slight Sprag Damage

    Someone installed the sprag backwards when building their transmission and made some noise when 4th gear hit. There is most likely nothing wrong with this shaft, I just wanted piece of mind so I replaced with a new shaft. It's been sitting on the bench for a year so it has some paint...

    Concerning amount of rust in fuel system

    I changed the oil and fuel filter in my 91 12v a few weeks back. This maintenance is performed every 6 months due to speedometer not working and miles don't register. Noticed the top of my old fuel filter looked rusty. Cut the filter in half and there seems to be a fair amount of rust inside...

    3rd Gen Cowl Hood

    Where is the best place to buy a cowl hood? Looking for my 05 CR. LMC seems to always have inflated prices on body parts compared to other internet searches. Are all these hoods stamped at one factory then purchased by dealers, so fitment is going to be a gamble either way?
