trans temps: solved

4/28/2022

 
Now that spring is here and its getting warm outside, it became apparent that the trans cooler i installed just isnt going to cut it.
Picture
Not exactly small by any means.  This is actually the largest cooler Ford ever put in these old trucks.  I use one for the E4OD in the green '96 bronco, but its not quite up to the task that this truck is demanding.
So i did some digging around online, and found this beast:

It is a monster of a cooler, and consumes most of the real estate behind the grill:

...it does fit in there pretty good though:

This thing is a beast.  Immediately knocked 30º off of my trans temps compared to the other cooler i was running.  So this is going to do the job nicely.

After finding this, i decided that it wasnt worth a failure on the trail, and ordered some better shafts

Seems the Yukon shafts arent up to the task, so i ordered a set from Moser Engineering:

In the interest of strength, Moser does not machine their shafts for spindle clearance, instead they have this nice smooth transition.  So i will have to verify that they clear the spindle , and if not, modify the spindle so they do.  Odds are that since its a D70, they will clear just fine.

We'll get some paint on these things, and get em installed later this week!

Dana 70: installed

4/2/2022

 
Picture
New r&p installed. Apparently the ring side carrier bearing had spun on the carrier, and the new bearing would slip right on!  Fortunately, we were able to find a local who had a two-piece D70 carrier so we ran over, picked that up, and got it all done and back together.

I forgot to buy gear oil. Also still need to reinstall the drive shaft & anti-wrap bar. Im also in the process of replumbing the OBA since i routed it a bit too close to the passenger header and blew the line during the cam break-in.  At this point, its just the rainy spring weather slowing me down.
