SquareD Part 5: The build continues and gets more aggressive
« on: October 21, 2014, 08:27:39 PM »
Anyone ready to get back into building this cool truck?
Been a long sabbatical with the knee surgery and L O N G recovery time, which is still not complete BTW!

OK the medium term objective is to get the engine reinstalled.
To do that I am cleaning up all areas of the vehicle that relate in preparation. My hope is to rebuild the transmission next week, but first get a bunch of stuff that is laying around, cluttering up my shop, back on the truck.

So that's what I have been doing, that and messing with the door panels which I just had to pull to make something custom.

Might as well start there.

OK, the plan was to pull the plastic interior door panels and replace with a flat fiberglass/wood panel that serves as a mount for a carbine, magazines, flashlight and other immediate need emergency stuff

First I pulled the door panel

Since it will now support perhaps 20-25 pounds of stuff, securing it with those factory clips was problematic. Imagine the wind slamming the door open then the door panel with your weapon goes crashing to the ground!

So I'll fasten it with an equal number of small 1/4" bolts

The holes were enlarged and Nutserts were installed in the factory locations

The rest of this project will be coming back in a couple days, but this was when I decided to get all this junk I was accumulating bolted back onto the truck

Remember that cool H20/alcohol tank that Dan made for me?

Well there it is getting fitted and prepped:

After acid primer, the thing was sanded and received a coat of acrylic enamel Lycoming gray along with the transmission to engine adapter plate.

The paint turned out OK...I had some runs, but that is expected since I was trying to blow it into spaces between the mount bars and the floor.

BTW that tank is made from 1/4" wall aluminum with 1/2" think legs and mounts. Frankly I wanted it to serve as an emergency jacking point!

With the quick flash of some wrenches it was permanized into it's new home.

Look how well it fits between and fills up those frame rails!

Dan did a great job building that tank!

Now this motor is a no kiddin' 600-700 HP mill. Looking at the factory fuel system I have never been impressed.
It uses tiny lines barely 5/16" in diameter which I knew had to go. So go they will. I'm starting at the injection pump and changing it from a single inlet to a dual inlet with 1/2" lines

You will notice the shutoff solenoid missing. I decided to use an aircraft cable to convert it to a manual shutoff so it will not be reinstalled.

I threw the motor mounts back on as well just to get them off the shelf

I purchased a new Cummins oil line used to lubricate the vacuum pump and drive assembly, but I think it's the wrong part since mine starts out at the blocs with a straight fitting and this one has two 90's

For awhile the build is going to be jumping all over as I get a lot of loose ends tied up and more stuff out of boxes and onto this truck.

We'll call it a day, here, the end of Build Day 176...

Ought to be a good running one as well...good valve job, Marine pistons coated with some high tech stuff, good everything. I have it set at only 12.5 degrees timing so there is a 100HP bump just by advancing the timing a bit...it should run well...

Nice to see this back up in progress again! And of course you recovering from the knee operation, that's just awesome.

This is the first build of yours i started following, then went back and caught up start to finish on the duramax... awesome stuff!

That's sort of how it is going to play out here

We are back into SquareD

At some point I will reenergize C-Max...After what those tie rods and ball joints did to me, worn out to the point of almost falling apart in a wee bit over 20K, I am not going to keep the stock suspension. That Dana 60 will be mated to that truck at some point.
Sort of toying with the idea of painting it OD green as well...

Got a little bit more done today along with appointments, changing oil in the wife's Caddy, grocery shoppin, visiting Duane to complain about stuff and a few other things like that.

The theme remains the same: Get all these parts back on the truck!

So today, I tackled some linkage, some lines and a proportioning valve. But first I picked up a really brightly colored shop vac to replace the old craftsman one the red dog has been chewing on for a year or two.

I pulled the old lines off of it, then wire-brushed it for awhile until it was as shiny as the mornin' dew!

I picked up a case of the brake cleaner to use on that tired old transmission

Got a few things done today, but not enough for a decent post, so I'll add more workie tomorrow.


I was bending brake lines and destroyed two 1/4" lines, then I discovered I needed some darned metric junk to fit the gen 2 master cyl

So I threw in the drop cloth and called it a day

OK, I'm tracking to get this transmission rebuild going this week.

In prep for that I am tying up a bunch of loose ends, basically getting a bunch of parts off the shelves and onto the truck.

The big short term goal is to get the engine and transmission set back into the chassis pretty quick. That frees up floor space and work room and sets the stage to get the front clip headed home.

So first I found the correct fan belt and threw that on that purdy motor

Having the factory manual is very handy indeed!

Now there is proper spacing between the fan belt and the tensioner pulley

Next up was remounting those coolant hard lines I painted the other day. Since this block came off a stick truck, I had to pull the plug that has been there since the Clinton era and install a nipple. It was stubborn but after breaking some cheap Chinese tools, a good American made ratchet got the job done

With that out of the way, I spent over an hour cleaning the area then assembled two new harbor freight welding tables which I will use to overhaul the transmission which starts next!

So let's play tools just a bit here!

OK, let's get started building a transmission

First a review: We are building (We= me + the mouse in my pocket) an antiquated A518 which is basically a stout Chrycler 727 with an overdrive section bolted on in place of a normal tailshaft. It also has a slushbox converter with no lock up clutches. It is all hydraulic with little to no electrics and no electronics.

I had a converter built what will have a low stall point, but will not transfer shock loads like the later 47RH/RE which does have lockup clutches. Those shock loads are largely responsible for these transmissions failing.

The scenario is you drive around a street and turn onto a side street. All at once you start taking fire from a crowd or some bad guys. While going forward at a slow speed you slam it into reverse and floor it.

Big time shock loads there. What I need to happen is for the truck to shift into reverse and start backwards albeit while frying the tires at the head of 1200 ft lbs of torque.

Everything that I purchased in parts for this transmission, parts totaling nearly $5,000 were thought out and chosen around that premise.

Secondly, the transmission stayed automatic because of a requirement that the vehicle be operational if I only had one useful leg. It stayed old school because in the event of an EMP event, the truck would not know it and remain operational.

So with all of that in mind, first I purchased a sheet of 3/4" MDF and cut it down to 6' X 3' and clamped it to the welding tables

Then I laid out the parts I would be using and cleaners and rags and all sorts of stuff

I started off using the ASTG manual, but found that to be lacking the detail I needed as a novice, so I switched to the Chrysler 1991 truck service manual.

It was perfect, a picture for each step!

I noticed right away, the internals seemed pretty clean.
Again proving this truck was a survivor and a rare find indeed

Next the accumulator and then the parking paw linkage

Under this cover is a snap ring which needs to be expanded to remove the overdrive section from the rest of the transmission

After the 7 bolts are removed holding the overdrive unit onto the main transmission, compress that snap ring and the overdrive taps off
