Ever since getting the 4r70w installed and mated to the Dana 20 I've had a rattle under deceleration at speeds above 30 mph or so. Had the transfer case out a couple of time and have played hell trying to figure it out. Well it turns out it's double cardan joint coming off the D20. The...

Ever since swapping to the 4r70w, the D20 gears have started chattering upon deceleration. It's become extremely difficult to change gears and it's like it's not fully engaging or not engaging properly. I just removed the tc and installed new detent balls and springs and it improved the shifting...

I plan on hauling kids around so I have to sell the half cab. Top was in good shape to begin with but it was media blasted, sprayed in epoxy primer and then seam sealed and painted by a reputable local body shop. There are a couple of runs that need to be sanded and polished but I haven't done...

oops. moved to parts.

I know this is a shot in the dark but does anyone know what size the o ring is that goes in the groove in the dana 20 intermediate shaft? I'm replacing my old shaft with a new one and my old one didn't have a provision for an o ring, just solid. I in turn did not order the o ring and thought it...

Times the way they are and no need for multiple car payments the ol' girl is in transisition from being my Sunday driver to my daily driver. I always wanted a half cab but since we'll be using the truck more as a family, I've decided to unload the half cab and go with a soft top or hard top. I'm...

I pinpointed the noise I'm getting at highway speeds to be coming from the TC. I removed the inspection cover and drained all of the fluid and it is looks like something brass is fouling the oil. I checked everything and the intermediate gear set has some play. It appears to be what is...

I've about got mine finished and thinking of selling to fund other projects. Just wondering what kind of ball park value I could realistically expect. I'll post it in the classifieds but I don't want to be out in left field with the price. Any input would help. 1970 U15 (half cab from a late...

I just thought I'd post a quick thread for anyone on the fence about swapping over to a AODE or 4R70W. Prior to the conversion my setup consisted of an Explorer V8, 33" tires, 4.11 gears, D20 and a C4. I built the truck to drive and use on a regular basis (mostly street use) and not keep it...

Plan on doing the tranny swap this weekend but was wondering if the backplate for a C4 will work in between the engine and 4R70W or if I should just use the plate that came with the tranny? I like the idea of having the removeable inspection plate intact.

Picked up a 4r70w and ordered the AA adapter kit to mate to my Dana 20. I'm getting some estimates together to have it reworked (install new shaft and clutch packs) and I'm getting estimates of $650 all the way up to $1400. I know this is a fairly complicated transmission and that it needs to be...

Plan on using my rig on the interstate back and forth to work so I'm selling my C4 to swap to a 4r70w. Transmission has maybe 100 miles on it since rebuild. Nice firm shift kit was installed and includes new TCI 2500 torque converter, new safety switch, new aluminum Moroso pan, braided stainless...

Ok, I've had mine on the road for a week now and already realize the C4 is probably not going to cut it for a daily driver. I'm running a fuel injected 302, 33" tires and 4.10/4.11 gearing. Got it on the interstate today and this thing winds out like mad at 60-65 mph and I know looking forward...

Well, she's there. After 4 1/2 years of starting a fixer-upper that turned into a frame off resto-mod, I finally got it registered earlier in the week and was able to take it out for my first enjoyable evening ride tonight. No more leaks to fix, fuel injection is dialed in and just some minor...

Finally got the Bronco mechanically sound enough to put it through it's paces before getting it on the road full time. Problem is, when i bring it back in the garage from the ol neighborhood street trials, it'll leave pretty good puddles of gear oil and transmission fluid on the garage floor...

As mentioned in another post, I'm reusing my plastic carb tank to run my EFI. Should this tank be vented for EFI? I have 3 taps into the tank. The main fill tube plus a tap for the return line, another for the overflow tube on the filler neck and one more that goes nowhere but it is tapped...

I know this has been covered before for those who offroad but wanted to get opinions based on my rig which will see very little offroad use. I'm basically running an Explorer 302, mild cam, larger throttle body and 24lb injectors. When I started my build, the gas tank was shot so I bought a...

Bought the bench a few years back (never installed in my truck) and since have decided to go with my Ranger buckets. This one is just taking up space. Covered in black velour with black vinyl trim. Very, very good shape but needs brackets. Would rather not have to ship but open to doing so. Will...

Putting the guts back in the doors (window, handles, latches, etc) and was wondering if anyone had a diagram or exploded view that they could post. I've got a pretty good idea of how it goes back but it never hurts to check.

Running around Louisiana this week for business and was in New Orleans today. Saw this one running around and was wondering if it was anyone here.
