So? Wth?
8-3/8” diff too?
I havent ordered gears yet, but its looking like i might have to.
 
So motive gear lists the two diameters using the same r&p.
 
We got the last of the pachysandra planted today along with all the mulching of the beds. We were pushing to get it done before the rain tomorrow and cooler weather to follow.

Looks like any more yard work will be postponed for a week until temps warm up again.

I still need to fertilize the lawn and trim the front hedges along with seeding a few spots. It can wait until it’s warm again.

At least the neighbor got the big tree limb that broke off in the winds last week and was hanging over our driveway removed today. It was a pain having to park away from it and shuffling cars around when we needed to go out.
 
Not flat enough.
and harder to remove.

Might be OK on a standing seam, but I think it still might stick up too much with tin.

Lemme think where I have pictures or illustrations of how the tabs get nailed down.
 
Old lady reading a magazine or a muppet happy to be photographed...you decide.

Here's a couple showing stand seam tabs. Flat seamed is similar but IIRC the tab may be folded over the nail head.
from Old House Journal 1994 when it still had a 'how things are done' focus.

so its from the front area?

I thought it was but there must be some crazy air turbulence in the engine compartment at speed, with no inner fenders, and a hole in the hood. Dyed the oil and it was actually leaking from the oil pressure gauge line and fitting. The original oil flows blue with a black light. With the dye it glows yellow...makes it really nice. The one pic is the blue puddle of oil and you can see the yellow dyed oil as well.

Yeah, but you are talking about a flat tin roof laid over a surface and seamed. Stamped steel roofs are totally different. They use screw attachments and the sections overlay each other kinda like a shingle roof using nails.

Thats what I was thinking of... screws have a rubber washer to seal.
 
I’m sorry, I’m not following. I thought you had gears for this diff already?
Its been a shitshow, Dave.
10 bolt cover on a 7.25,2.26 gears. Pita to get better ones.
I found a new set (8.25/3.55) on buy and sell for 150. Then i bought another for the 7.25.
The second set wouldnt work on the carrier. so i yanked one out of a 78 D100 i thought was 9.25.
its 8.? Have to pull ring and measure or see if my 8.25 gears work.

Ugh, that sucks.

I’m sure you will get it worked out eventually but it’s a pain to have to go through all that. :(

Good investigative work!

One time I had pressure gage sender start pissing a stream out in the middle of a trip. Wasn't enough to show as pressure drop but I could smell the oil.
 
Its official. I’m a dumbass. I got the in the garage too!

This is the screenshot of the first ad i saw for my Fargo. the one in the garage came up for sale. So i snagged it.
 
I was up to 2.5 a couple hours ago, as i had bought a box for a good tailgate.
I will keep going. Saw another one in the back yard on an ad for lawn furniture. I may just hit them up.

My first car had the oil psi gauge line brake behind the gauge inside the car! A year later when I sold it, oil still dropped off all the dash harness wiring. .yuck

One of my phobias. Oil leak in the car. So i keep an eye open for that. Im installing an aftermarket heater in the fargo, concerned about hoses passing through.
