SC10 4x4 Thread
Meh, bad day at the track. truck seemed better, but I think I blew my sensor board. The motor wont turn over with the sensor cable plugged in. Tried 3 different cables. Other stock motors worked fine.

Are there any Cliff Notes for all the upgraded parts that work? I have searched for the FT upgrade conversion as well as some other stuff and I am coming up empty for a solid direction. 1750 pages is a LOT to try and sift thru and the front page doesn't look like its been updated in a year!
I have seen things about the 8mm mod, different center diffs, FT upgrade, dual stage pistons... I just don't know which way to go with this stuff.

Diff Issues.....
So I was having the notorious front diff clicking under braking and acceleration. So I pulled apart the front diff and order all the parts to rebuild it. I put in 7k fluid and just finished putting it together. Before putting the diff back in the gearbox, I held the diff and spun one of the drive cups. The diff gears move but they seem to bind a bit. Then sometimes it completely binds until I actually nudge the other free drive cup. So in the end, I think I would still have the same problem as before. Why is my front diff binding? I tried loosening the 4 screws that holds the diff together. I was wondering if I had them too tight? However, it did not help. Any suggestions?
Thanks,

are you sure the clicking you heard wasnt from the belt ?
you also could of over shimmed the diff or it could be some dirt in there getting stuck in between the teeth.
the easiest thing to do is tear it back apart and check for and dirt,also check for any bad teeth on the gears. if everything looks good, put it back together DRY. if it still does it take out one shim from both sides (depending on how many you have in there). then put it back together dry again and check.
keep repeating process till you find out what it is.
Forgive me for 2 things:
First, forgive me if this question is dumb.
Second, forgive me if this question has been asked/answered before.
If you were to use both 19T belt pullies, would it effectively act like increasing the pinion gear size? Just curious basically.

I'll double check the teeth. Thanks for the advice!
Hey guys selling my truck have ton of brand new spare parts over 350.00 retail make me offer [email protected]
I tried the over drive gear in the front and it was fail. I tightened the tensioners all the way and I still had belt skip. So 2x 19 would prob not work.

im not 100% sure but i think it tells you not to do that in the manual.
