You have good access to those hard to get to bolts. I'm sure that counted greatly in the relative ease of the swap. Wouldn't it be nice if the trucks stayed that clean?

how’s that for clean (definitely believing it’s NOS..)

not a single spec of oil on the inside PTO cover. perfectly clean

twin stick bracket/PTO inspection plate cover

look at those 3 pedals!

and it all works. without the drive shafts so far, but it engages and disengages. lol

speedo gear question.

i our the old gear from my GM 205 in the dodge case. (GM one was red, but appeared to have same thread pitch as the chewed up yellow one) the yellow was 5 tooth. unsure what the red one is since it’s at my dads house in the truck. i compared it to the 29 spline dodge 205 i have here too. it’s a yellow 5 tooth gear as well. the kaiser is burying the speedo past 80 at ~60 mph.

the drive gear i pulled out of my GM case has 18 teeth and was mated to the red gear. the drive gear diameter is .92” diameter.

the dodge drive gear from 29 spline is .75” and 14 tooth. so.. it seems as if the drive gears interchange to adjust speed. but i guess i just need to pull the one in the truck out and compare to the auto/205 gear that came out of the kaiser (bc it was dead on) worse comes to worse, ill just pull it all out of the old tcase and put it in the new one. bc i know it worked right. just trying to avoid doing that. would rather just swap drive gears..

Sounds rhetorical?

If the speedo used a standard drive any gear should work inside the case since it just turns the shaft.

What speedo are you running?

some of the Dodges had an auxiliary gear box coming off the transfer case to drive the speedo, the proper gear and then the correct "gearbox" will correct it. If you need that you might not be able to do it with just a different gear.

https://transmissioncenter.net/shop/54ra2-gm-dodge-ford-ratio-adapter/ this is a speed up version not waht you need but i think they have the slow down version also. you can also call them Speedometer Gears 1.888.201.2066 WARNING they are not real good from a customer service point of view at least that was my experience with them.

so, i believe i’ve found the issue.

when putting the case back together i just grabbed the red one that came from the GM one. well.. turns out it’s 7 tooth. the one that came out of it was a yellow 5 tooth. so is the one in the auto setup that was just pulled. as well as the 29 spline 205 in the shop. and all 3 drive gears are the same 14 tooth gear. so, going to pull the old one from the auto setup and swap it over. should solve the issue.

pulled the e brake assembly and output bearing retainer housing off yesterday and swapped out the red 7 tooth gear for a yellow 5 tooth gear. back to being ~2% off in speed. which is highly acceptable considering it’s all mechanical and no adjusting/GPS calibrated speedo.

also, located and fixed the semi severe (in my mind at least) oil leak on the DS of engine that was subsequently oozing and smearing all down the side and bottom of engine.

a bad o ring on the timing pin inside it’s housing was the culprit. grabbed the pin and it flopped back and forth in the housing with zero resistance. went down to cummins and picked up 2 (just in case) pulled the retainer clip off and slid it out. the o ring that was on the pin actually had a smaller OD than the outside of the timing pin.. rendering it essentially pointless. so, with that replaced we degreased the engine fairly well to check for further leaks. and after ~50 miles she seems to be good.

for today, we hope to source a trans tunnel cover from a <‘79 waggy or cherokee from a junk yard to properly fit the new trans shifter and get all that buttoned back up

Better progress than me, nice.

swbhobie16 · « **Reply #912 on:** December 18, 2019, 09:09:27 PM »

205 twin stick shifters coming along. hoping to be on tomorrow. and a new auto trans tunnel sourced to cut a new hole for the 4500 in. and block a massive sound hole. lol

swbhobie16 · « **Reply #913 on:** December 25, 2019, 02:57:31 PM »

twin stick shifters in and functional. all that’s left for the new trans setup is the disk brake cable install.

need to sound deaden the trans tunnel, but it’s in and working nicely with a square hole allowing for the shifter.

i’ll try and snag some pics today if possible.

ohh.. and
MERRY CHRISTMAS!

got the wilwood e brake cable installed on pinion brake. after adjusting.. man is it strong. parked it on a +/-20° hill at my parents house and it held. i’ll try and get a pic of it in place that’s as accurate to portraying ‘level’ as possible. but it’s strong. tires actually slid on wet grass a bit but weren’t rolling. lol

I very well may be going to that setup myself in the burb

i’m using the same setup in the square body duramax but will be running it off the foot brake. we used the factory twin stick levers and hand e brake on the kaiser. looks pretty cool. now he just needs to finish the tunnel and then make some bolts (most likely out of canvas.. ya know. MIL SPEC circa ‘69 hahah)

swbhobie16 · « **Reply #917 on:** February 11, 2020, 07:57:53 AM »

my dad finally got the trans cross member built and installed. clears the drive shaft and is still pretty clean looking i’d say.

JR · « **Reply #918 on:** February 11, 2020, 10:48:27 AM »

Clean and solid

Really clean job. What did he end up using for the clutch hydraulics? Looks like the (cast?) slave was a direct fit.

swbhobie16 · « **Reply #920 on:** February 11, 2020, 11:06:54 AM »

all ‘99 dodge master and slave. bolted right up. all that’s left is a little bracket to hold reservoir under the hood. temporary zip tied to brake master cylinder

I love this rig. Super clean work!
