I agree with Brule. Fix what's broke for the least amount of money. It's a pretty small axle to be dumping money into. For the cost of the true track you could find a zr2 and get both the front diff and rear axle. I wouldn't sweat the bumpstop bracket or sway bar, both could be made to work.

I'm right around 97,500 miles. The goal from the beginning was sfa by 100k. It's getting close

Well I got the winch all wired up, except the in cab controls. And I just ordered some buttons to do that. My phone isn't cooperating on the pics... Solenoid box is on passenger side of the core support. Plug is next to the air filter under the hood. I can plug the controller in, run it out the back...

I was thinking there was talk of using the homelink buttons, but I don't have them. When I put the bravada stuff in, I swapped the guts into my console. I'll get a pic shortly.

Ok guys, I need some inspiration.... I was working on wiring up the winch last night and was planning to put the button from the controller inside.

_STUCKY

They don't come with the cups. We got mine on without the cups. They haven't fallen off yet.

There's a hole in the center. Stick a bolt through it. Hold it with a piece of hose if you can't get a socket in there. Put a lock washer and a nut on it.

Not much of an update, but I dumped out the molasses because it's too hot and was getting bugs in it. But check out how good it works. This has very little elbow grease into taking the rust off.

Since we left off last time... I have taken the k5 to flat nasty and the badlands. Damages include broken exhuast hangers, broken top, and some body damage. Truck seems to be running good though.

I saw it on s10forum. I've been lurking there. Been gathering parts for mine... But I have recently acquired a new project that is taking my attention and will soon be taking s10 build money haha.

_STUCKY

Alright, no problem. If you do end up making more, check with me, I'll probably buy a set. I was trying to see who I could get to make them local, and didn't have any luck. Build looks great by the way. What gears does the front have?

_STUCKY

What would you charge for a pair of the dana 30 to s10 hub bearing spacers?

_STUCKY

Listen to these guys so you don't throw your money away.

Leave it stock or MML or axle swap. Or do it in that order.

_STUCKY

I've been gather parts for the axle swap on mine. Found some Chevy HD wheels I'm going to try to get. My schedule hasn't worked out with the guy who has them. Also found some dodge 1/2 ton springs I'm going to pick up today. I'm really wanting to stay spring under at all 4 corners on this project. H...

_STUCKY

I mean this in the nicest way.... The bolt on lift kits are a bunch of crap....

You won't find a how to on axle swaps.

_STUCKY

No, I have the stock 4L60E. So in the original post you said you want to go 60/14 bolt. You know gm Dana 60's are passenger side drop, right? You would need an np241 from an 89-91 k5 or suburban to get passenger side drop with a vss sensor. Unless you want to go sky high with huge tires, you may wan...

_STUCKY

The 231 and 233 should have either a 3 or 4 gear planetary. The 6 gear planetary came in the bigger cases, 241, 243, ect. It's a direct swap. People claim they are stronger. To do what I'm going to attempt, you would need to find an input with 32 splines, and to get it out of another transfer case, ...

_STUCKY

The reason no one talks about using the 233 in the front is because it's just simpler to not deal with the wiring. The main difference between a 231 and a 233 is the last digit, 1 for manual, 3 for electric shift. The same applies for the 241/243 combo. It's essentially the same transfer case. The r...

_STUCKY

So a 32 spline input will indeed slide on a 32 spline output. This is very doable. I'm on the hunt for parts. Plan is 231/233.

_STUCKY

I've been reading....I have a idea, and it might work.... Bear with me here haha Our stock transfer case is an NP233C with 27 spline input, 32 spline output, and a 4 gear planetary. An np231c will swap in place of the np233c. Np241c and np243c came in full size Chevy trucks. They came in 27 or 32 sp...

_STUCKY

This question got me thinking... And reading.... I still have a lot of both to do.... But, I have learned that if you have a 27 spline input and output on the transfer cases, you can slide the 2 transfer cases together. What I'm curious about is using a 233 for the doubler and a 231 as the actual tr...

Oops. Must have had jeeps on the mind haha. S10s are 5x4.75

What's the dimensions of them? If they are 5x4.5, I'm sure they'll fit. 15x8 with 5 inch backspacing is what I run and they work fine. As for the center hole, well, stock wheels don't have a big center hole. As long as it'll fit over the center of the axle shaft on the back, I'd think it would fit o...

As far as the front axle goes, you could do a bravada/astro van shaft to eliminate the s10 2 piece deal. Synergy offroad sells a stronger shaft to do it. If you want a stronger transfer case than the 231, you can also look into swapping a 241 from the 88-98 body style trucks, at minimum it requires ...
