2.6 (g54b) turbo swap project thread

[turbomax]

since I swapped in a montero LSD I'm going to get the axles redrilled. I originally was looking for a toyota axle, but they did not come stock with a LSD and a TRD LSD was pricey. I got my montero LSD for $45 a the local u-pull and was also able to swap some 3.54 gears for a better mpg. A explorer axle with disc brakes would be nice, but the stock brakes have been sufficient.

Now you will have a fresh start to make the build thread into a nice thread. Pennyman is going to re do his old build thread as a magazine article. Once he has it done I can promote it on the front page of the site. I can do the same with yours. This is just one of the reasons why I went with vBullitein publishing. This way when some one comes up with a clean article it can be easily promoted to the front page. I guess I need to make a list of qualifications for the front page. I really need to get buzzy with cleaning up the site. But the weather is good and my truck is calling me.

The old thread has a link under my sig. of a pdf file with my basic swap info extracted from the original thread. Take a look and see if that would work. Here's the link:http://home.fuse.net/remo/2.6_turbo_swap.pdf

When cleaning out the garage this past weekend I found my old aftermarket wiper delay module (that I bought maybe 10 years ago) that I was supposed to install on my old Jeep Cherokee (got rid of Jeep 8 years ago). I've been looking for a stock intermittent wiper column switch at the local yard for awhile with no luck, so I went ahead and installed the wiper delay module. After an hour or so, I finally figured out the wiring and hooked it up. Works great.

That wiper delay box will come in handy. Always seems like my wipers drag if its not raining hard enough. If I turn my wipers on when the windshield is dry they go up a little and then slow down to a crawl. I finally put on some new blades and it helped a lot.

Mine did the same thing. Another trick is to open the wiper motor and change the grease. Remove the plate attached to the electrical connector, should be 3 or 4 screws. You should see gears surrounded by alot of grease. Clean the metal connectors and remove some of the old grease and replace. The grease gets pretty thick over time.

Yea, I'm glad I found the wiper delay. I totally forgot I had it. Its been the cabinet for a long time.
