LOL!! Now I'm really going to feel the pressure the next time around :crazyeyes:
:cheesy: Yeah, that would be rush hour traffic for us and yeah, I was probably the slowest vehicle on the highway. Granted, this truck is over 40 years old and still running the original motor. :crazyeyes:
As some of you may recall, the air compressor on our WARN PowerPlant finally gave out after almost 9 years of hard use. And really, the only thing that broke was the timing belt and WARN was willing to cover it under warranty! In fact, if we lived closer to an authorized WARN repair facility, they recommended that we just take our winch to them and have them fix the problem. But, being that we don't and that I didn't want to ship this thing, I decided to fix it myself. Here's a shot of what a PowerPlant looks like taken apart.
In the process of taking things apart, I came across this.
Unfortunately, the V-seal is back ordered and I won't be able to get it for about a month so, I decided to just keep going and fix what I can. Once I get the new seal, I'll just take everything apart again and replace it at that time. Just need to stay out of deep water for a while
Here's a shot of the air compressor piston with the new timing belt installed.
Just need to reassemble everything and we should be good to go. :yup:

Thanks, your right it's not an issue but I just hate it.
Didn't see anything quite like that but it was important to make sure that the teeth on the belt matched up with the teeth on both gears. I manually cranked it to make sure everything operated smoothly.
Well, you can always pull the t-case and replace the seal. Should be easier on your Jeep than mine. For me, I have to completely remove the lower control arms and long arm brackets just so that I can remove the cross member which needs to come out. Of course, this is because of the v8 and new transmission we are running.

I know but I need stuff I don't have to do it. Stands to hold the transfer case for one.
I might have it done in time.

Would there be the possibility of a maintenance write up on this by chance? I don't have the powerplant , but those that do might appreciate it. I would think that disassembly and reassembly of the winch would be similar to some other Warn winches.

Coincidentally, JP magazine's most recent issue has a rebuild article on the Warn M8274. It was a fun read with lots of pics.

Hey Eddie, just wondering if your Powerplant fluctuates in speed when the compressor is running. I've noticed that the speed of mine goes up and down slightly and it doesn't seem to matter what the tank pressure is as it does this speed fluctuation while filling the tire.

Mine did that too. Kind of a oscillating hum.
I did have it repaired at warn for another reason. I don't notice it now.

Nice piece of property there.
After making some real headway on Emma, I decided to work on Moby and replace his clock spring. Bing that we've been getting an airbag light and chime on and off and on again, I really needed to get this thing fixed.
Here's a shot of the old one coming out.
And, hers a shot of the new one getting buttoned in.
When all was said and done, I took Moby out on a test drive and........
WTF!!! [emoji35]
Took everything apart, checked all the connections but still have an intermittent air bag light coming on. Gave all the connection under the passenger seat a check and at least at a glance, everything looks good. Totally sucks especially being that I just spent all this time and money on a whole lot of nothing. Also, I can totally deal with another Christmas tree light but the chime is going to drive me nuts!

:cheesy:Hope you can get it chased down! Frustrating to go through all of that and still have some mystery cause.
