Yeh, it’s going to be the last cold shot of the season I think...but it looks like it means it.So far not reaching me, but calling for snow in North and Western PA this weekend.
I’m sorry, I’m not following. I thought you had gears for this diff already?So motive gear lists the two diameters using the same r&p.
Not flat enough.Why not?
Here's a couple showing stand seam tabs. Flat seamed is similar but IIRC the tab may be folded over the nail head.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.
so its from the front area?
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.Here's a couple showing stand seam tabs.

from Old House Journal 1994 when it still had a 'how things are done' focus.

Nice!!!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.

Thats what I was thinking of... screws have a rubber washer to seal.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.
Old lady reading a magazine or a muppet happy to be photographed...you decide.

Its been a shitshow, Dave.I’m sorry, I’m not following. I thought you had gears for this diff already?

No screws with a tin roof!
Ugh, that sucks.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.
That's gorgeous.
Good investigative work!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.

Heck, you can't have a collection unless you have 2 or more!Its official. I’m a dumbass. I got the in the garage too!View attachment 1715522769
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.
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.
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.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
