1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I'm just going off what I remember putting in last time, draining it doesn't get every last bit of it out

 

true, but maybe it was how I parked because it took about 3.5 quarts

as always YMMV

 

yeah, @Kpatt9 just fill it until it starts to ooze out of the fill port. It won't take an entire 1 gallon/4 qt jug, so one of those will be enough.

 

hmm should I troll the 3rd genners into thinking I went to the dark side?

 

I still need to change my fluid. I have some fresh MT90, curious to see what it looks like after 20k miles of stop and go and wheeling

 

don't see it mentioned often but curious how many actually check to make sure their breather(s) are not clogged when changing diff fluid. Should be a periodic maintenance item on the checklist.

 

Their cheap enough and easy enough to get to that it should be a replace every 100k type thing. Especially since they can cause some serious headaches if they get clogged.

 

Yum

 

@Kpatt9, here you go. According to Haynes...

 

agreed - just don't see them mentioned enough makes you wonder how many poor bastards aren't even thinking to or know to check

 

@Wulf 2.3 qts

 

Now this blows... If I ever hit 5/5 but missed the mega - oh the anger... a pathetic 20k instead of 44 mil because of one damn # lol

 

damn






Haynes must be wrong

 

Can’t imagine there’s a real high likelihood of failure, it’s a rubber disc on top of a tube covered by a pressed cap to make a 1 way valve. I dissected one when I relocated the rear. And since diff oil smells why wouldn’t you want to taste it when you blow through it?

 

you learning how to weld now?



turn the heat up and slow the wire speed down and slow down

 

When I did the relocate, I cleaned the stock breather up and plugged it into the line I was using for the extension - blew into it and barely any airflow. Removed the breather, sprayed cleaner into it and rinsed. Air blast to be sure it was clear. Plugged back in and checked - 1000 times better airflow out. Scary. Perhaps thats what caused my seal to fail - who knows. Oh well, breather mod in place with a new breather. All good.

 

I already have the Miller plugged in and the welding table setup, why not.

Think my regulator is on the fritz, it doesn't expel gas every stroke.

 

Make sure you put that meth jug OFF the table now

 

1 year ago, I restored this.
