There's another one that's a 13 incher that has an 1100 rpm low and a 3000 rpm high. Is that more your liking? By the way, the conversion kits sell for $249 ($199) if you buy a converter.

It was rebuilt in Feb 97 and leaked too much for my tastes. I took it out with a friend (I'm not a mechanical genius, but it's his career-field) then brought it back to have the leak between the case halves repaired. I watched as the old RTV was completely cleaned away and new was applied. None the case's working parts were touched other than to remove the rear case from the front to get to the affected area. Two nights ago we installed the case. HOORAY! No leaks! But let's not get excited yet. The case won't stay in 4WD. :( After about 5 minutes the 4WD light begins to "fade" back on, but you never hear that convicing sound of the vaccum shifting in the switch under the dash. If I flip the switch to 4WD, the light stays on, but I hear that famous little vaccum sound. And it'll stay on forever if I want. If I flip it back to 2WD, the sound happens and the light goes off. But the light begins to come on again in 5 minutes or so. I don't know if I damaged my vaccum lines or the shift motor (or maybe both) I've checked the lines to make sure they were installed exactly as before, and I've cleaned the ends off really good just in case it was leaking around the connections. Is there any simple way to check the shift motor? Since it is a "full-time" 4WD while in the High range, I've been driving around with no problems. But I would like to fix this darned thing if I can. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Laurence Galle[Back to Top]

Now, now, temper temper! So, how hard DID you have to throw it to break
it, and how many pieces is it in?
Seriously.... what happened?

I'm not real sure, especially about the GM versions, but I believe Ford
eliminated the rear pump in '65, same time they made a whole bunch of other
changes in their trannys... and bellhousings... dunno

Subject: Chief Update #22132
Howdy,
Remember I told of the garage cleaning last weekend?
I have a 26 x 36 garage and it was full, keyword WAS.
We filled a 21 cubic yard dumpster! I can now get 3 cars
in there :-)
My point.....the 79 Chief has been parked in the aforementioned
garage since Monday morning. I moved it out tonite and immediately
noticed no drips or puddles anywhere!!! I was/am impressed.
That's right guys (and gals) ALL fsj's do not leak or drip.
And yes, I checked all fluids, they were fine, except the
fuel, it's never fine!
C'ya

A free 500 Cadillac mill from his uncle, yeah, the Chevy didn't have enough torque, woo woo woo. Gotta have something with more guts than a dumb 350 to pull his '72 4-4-2 455 when it refuses to start on Friday night grudge fights. (I do it too easily with my Wagoneer as it is! *grin*) Speaking of Chevy, what would a late 70s built 400 CID truck motor with 380 HP, chromed, pro built by RHS and all the good stuff be worth by itself? That resto'ed J-10's owner we bugged last year has written us in interest of dumping it on us again, we loathe the motor, we want to know what it's worth when we sell that and put a 390 in it's place, if we do. Maybe Mr. Sc0 would want this motor eh? -- ____________ | /| | James R.

enjoy, and thanx to one of our FSJ "lurkers"... they know who
they are, and I appreciate their contribution...
Now, if someone can find out if Robert C. Ackerson is still around...
We missed out on Graneville King and Brooks Stevens...
(If there are any other engineers, designers or other interesting
"celebrities" that have been involved with FSJ's I'd like to hear
about them. I'm thinking of putting this information in the FSJ
history section.)
