    TH350 question. Need help quick!

    My TH350, on the vehicle I am planning on selling, has begun to leak. Okay, maybe leak is not the proper term, it is gushing! I do not want to crawl around under it right now, so I am hoping someone can diagnose the problem and tell me I do not need a new housing. It looks like there is a...

    Anywhere local for speedo cable?

    I need a speedometer cable to go to my FJ-40 speedometer and an NP205. Is there anyone within 50 miles of SLC who builds them? I tried to get a quote from a company out of Cali, but they kinda ticked me off with their ignorant email response, so I don't want to give them my business.

    Kennecot Deer

    My cousin's husband is an engineer out at Kennecot and he put in for a drawing to hunt a deer on their property. Well, out of 500 they chose 8, and he was one of the lucky one's. He gets to have 2 people come along on the hunt to help him out. Now I just have to persuade him into believing...

    Torque Converter Stall #'s

    I just ordered a new TH350 from J&G. I went with the a stall of 1700 rpms in the converter. They stated many people go with about a 2000 stall, but that is $50 more. They also stated the 1700 should be good. What do ya'll think? I searched, and didn't come up with any strong conclusion...

    Driveline ?

    Okay, time for a stupid question. At normal ride height, what would be the minimum amount of travel that would be safe to have in a driveline before it bottoms out? I know there are plenty of factors which come into play. The vehicle I am questioning is a FJ40 with a centered rear diff...

    am I the only

    one in this world? No, of course not. (Warning! feeble attempt at being philosophical ahead) There have been a couple threads recently that have got me thinking. People seem to be less and less aware of the impact they have. If everyone did exactly what I do, just think of the...

    My new love....

    My wife gave birth to a beautiful baby girl 11-28-2005 @ 8:54 p.m. She was 7 lbs 12 oz and 20" long. My wife, the trooper she is, went all natural even after already having done so with our first child. My wife was up and about after delivery, and was able to participate in the first bath...

    Major tranny problem (TH350)

    "F" My wife is going to kill me! The used TH350 I put into my FJ-40 is busted. In reverse, it violently leaks near the tail housing. I just spoke with a tranny shop, and they said it is common in 4x4's because of the t-case stressing it out. They also said it can't be welded because the...

    TH350 question........

    Okay, I have searched everywhere, but to no avail. What is on the pass front side of a TH350 in front of the cooler lines? Is it possible the p.o. put in a temp sensor? or is it something stock? I didn't notice it until I fired up the cruiser for the first time yesterday after finally...

    Business address?

    I am going to have an axle housing with brakes and axle shafts shipped in a couple weeks. What have others done to cut the shipping cost? If it is sent to a business it is a whole lot cheaper. Does anyone have a hook-up they can share with me? Thanks, much appreciated.

    failure

    Possible repost, but I just learned it.............. Type the word failure into Google, and see what link is shown first. I don't agree with it, but I find it humorous nonetheless.

    How long is too long? (wordy post)

    This may get a little wordy, I will try to keep it short... Last winter I decided to plan an automatic tranny conversion in my already V-8 converted FJ-40. I have a friend with a TH350/ NP205, and he is pleased with it, so I figured I would follow suit. I took my time saving up cash and...

    How do you shorten a link to another thread?

    This may not be in the correct area, but I have a question. When posting a link, how do you rename it to what you want? ie. rather than http://www.rockymountainextreme.com/newthread.php?do=newthread&f=12, how could it be just the word here like the non-Newbies do? By the way, I am a...

    Gotta love the Readers Digest...

    What do you get if you cross and elephant with a kangaroo? A bunch of holes all over Australia! Did you hear about the cannibal who was expelled from school? He was trying to butter up the teacher! One candle asks the other, "Are you going out tonight?" I LOVE...

    Anyone work on computer printers?

    I have a Canon MultiPass F50 -printer, copier, scanner, fax- that is giving me trouble. It says "Clear Paper Jam", but there is no paper jam. I spoke with Canon support, and they stated I needed to have it serviced because the ink cartridge doesn't center when the lid is opened. It almost...

    Timpanogos Cave

    I haven't been to Timpanogos Cave since I was a kid. I was thinking about going Monday morning. Does anyone know if they allow strollers on the trail? I have a 2 year old son who I don't want to carry all the way up and down the trail. I would just call information, but they aren't open at...

    Honest Opinion

    Okay, so here is the question.... For those of you who have been up to Forest Lake in American Fork Canyon recently, could a stock F-150 Crew Cab 4x4 make it without any damage? I am going camping Monday night, and I am thinking about borrowing my dad's truck so I can take my wife, kid, 2...

    Is it on purpose?

    Look at the readers rides in the new Petersons, page 20 Da Hammer. Homeboy's driver front tire is off the ground. Is there something I am missing, or has the articulation bug just gone away? What would be the benefit of having coils that seem to be so restricted the front end doesn't flex...

    How about eggs? Do you eat them?

    Think about this. Women, human women that is, go through a cycle about 1 time a month. Chicken women, also known as hens, go through a similar cycle but it is everyday. The byproduct of the hens cycle is an egg. So, do you eat eggs? That sounds worse than liver and beer together!!!!
