No. The plug goes in to the motor and the two motors are entirely different. Round pins on the old, flat on the new.

I have one little job away from the hurricane tomorrow morning then I need to go towards it to pick up another transfer case so I can swap it again this weekend. I don't even know if I'll be able to work Monday with all the rain supposed to be hanging around.

I started a rear window regulator on a clk convertible. You know you are in for a shit show when it pays 4.8. Remove rear seat, side panels, airbag, seat belt extender, a billion screws of varying sizes and half are hidden... Remove awkwardly shaped large steel panel, finally unbolt stuck glass and extract regulator. I got the new one bolted on and the big metal panel in before I called it done for the day.
Then I went home and finished the one in the corvette. Which took hours to do because nothing is ever simple when your ocd kicks in. |

Does anyone have an exploded view of a borg warner 44-46 t case?
I got another new one to put in and I'm debating my options. 1. Tear apart the one I put in 2 weeks ago and see what's loose and where the noise is coming from and see if I can fix it. 2. Put the new new one in and don't touch the other and drop it by a dealer somewhere and let them look at it and repair or replace under their 2yr parts warranty. 3. Find a junk case to take back for a core and fix the other and I'll have a spare. |

2015 ram 5500
I'm pretty sure it's the same as a 2500/3500 except it has a spicer flange in the output shaft rather than a slip yoke. It's electric shift. |

I said screw it and swapped it out, again. Ratcheting, popping noise went away.
Considering I put that case in 2 weeks ago it almost has to be something that wasn't installed right and is coming loose. Started hearing the noise Tuesday afternoon and it had only gotten worse and lasted longer since. Probably has about 2k miles on it. It's something to do with power going through to the rear axle. Put it in gear and it ratchets up and takes out whatever lash is inside the case. Put it in neutral and back to drive and it generally doesn't do it but got forward to reverse, let it rock forward and backward against the parking brake pawl and it does it. It 4wd it is less so because I guess the front driveline catches the input shaft and doesn't let it take up the gear lash or whatever it is. |

So I did something that I figured would be simple and help increase longevity of our stupid little rc truck. I drilled small holes in the differentials, filled them with 85w90 gear oil and sealed the holes with silicone. It made a surprising difference. The little bastard started doing four wheel peelouts and gained several mph on the top end.
It was great. A little messy, because the oil seeps out over time, but totally worth it. I don't play with it much. Maybe a half hour once a week if that. Well I started hearing a popping under full braking. Eventually it did it under full throttle acceleration. I loaded the drivetrain and torqued the front wheel until it began popping. Then I tore down the front differential and found my pinion gear was destroyed. I tore down the rear end and found chipped teeth there too. Two new take out differential assemblies and a new front bumper are on the way and a set of locking wheel nuts from China. The factory uses grease for the gears and I guess they did it for just this reason. Jumping it is fun. But oh man it's hard on the parts. I took advantage of the teardown and cleaned it up and lubed the wheel bearings. It might be a while before it gets reassembled. |

Yes mr customer, your Camaro that you said replace the hid ballast because it was bad, it needs a $300 bulb also. No sir, the ballast was installed already and there is no return on special order parts anyway.

Does anyone not shit on porters?
Worked at a dealership in college. Replaced high useless schleps and brought on another good person. Busted ass, organized the shit out of the lot, did cartwheels for the techs, etc. It took over an entire year to not be shit on by the entire dealership. Even then a solid 25% had no respect for a lowly porter. I enjoy going back for parts and witnessing their misery |

Heres a perplexing one. Tonight on the way home from work, i stopped to get beer, backed out of the parking spot, and the driver side tie rod fell off of my jeep.
So i pull into a spot, get out, put it back on, and go home. It just hit me that the nut was still on the rod end while it was on the ground, and theres no damage to the knuckle. How the fuck did it come out? It is physically impossible for that nut to fit through the hole, and thats the only path it could have taken. |

Went to the tail of the Dragon today. They took the fun out of this road by having a strictly enforced 30mph speed limit, and it's heavily traveled. All sorts of motorcycles, all kinds of cars and trucks, and even rvs. I don't believe that I will return. The best run i had is when I tried to stay at 30mph no matter what. It made a few tight curves more interesting, but overall I didn't find it worth the drive.

Ac in my 01 Jetta hasn't been cooling well at idle for a few months so I decided to look at it today.
140/50psi at idle, fans are turning, shop fan in front of the car makes no difference. 84f ambient and 56 out vents on low. A few minutes at ~2k rpm and I have 170/30 and 40f from the vents. Pressures seem wonky but maybe 2yrs ago I ripped the whole dash out to replace foam on the blend doors, new condenser, etc. When I charged it up it was showing something similar but it was blowing 40 then so I stopped, didn't overthink it and enjoyed cold ac. I think I'm gonna try another expansion valve. The compressor can't have more than 20-30k on it. |

Try explaining to people that over filling an engine with oil will cause catastrophic failure.
Jiffy lube double filled an m271. The lanchester shafts do a great job acting as a windage tray for one through three. Number four, well he has a big open space under him. So all the extra oil kinda ends up there. Start slapping a piston down in a pool of oil repeatedly at high speed and eventually the piston will fail around the pin area. It does a number on the rod bearings too. It punched large holes in the block, put part of the rod in to the starter, and after all that, it was still over filled with oil. They Actually Paid Thirteen Hours For A Teardown And Inspection When It Was Clearly Blowed Up. |
