Slo-Vo,
I ain't going to make getting those 4.56s in till August 1st weekend with Rick. He's booked solid.
I finally got after it today! Felt so good sweatin my hiney hole off, getting some done on the truck! Ain't got that much done to 'er in years in one day. New lugnuts, all the quick disconnects on your hated sway bar! I'm keeping it just for you!
New electrical stuff, it's charging now and powering everything like it's suppossed to. It had got so bad just driving that the stereo would fade in and out because it wasn;t able to suck enough juice. I noticed I got some blackening around the tailpipe too, bet the ginition wasn't really getting enough juice to run right. Dang neg cable came off when I went to loosen it which wasn't happen, corrosion wleded together!
And an all new front end, well except for the turn signals, but they was ok and I ain't replacing what don't need replacing. I'm spending enough duckies on other stuff.
Get them springs in, get that transfer in so I see ya on the 26th. Oh, tomorrow I'm skipping out work againa and driving over to TB and pick up my annual so you guys won't be waiting on me with the admin crap that sat!! Might even unhook that sway bar and hit a trail!! I'll get some pics! It's 21.9 miles from the house!

dont even talk about the chinese, i still have yet to recover from that tragic loss in my life


off to the garage...time to start pulling the t-case

 

[Frank The Tank]

You need me there, so I can hold up the t.case for your scrawny @$$. Jon-Boy (ya happy?)

BTW: holy hell that chinese was the worst idea anyone has had since world war 2.

[86 slo-vo]

i could use a hand, i swear to god ford had elfs install the top bolts on the t-case...time for the 1354m to go in

 

[Frank The Tank]

I can't even get my forearm in our diesel fuel tank on the semi (my boss had to dip it out to fill the filter) SOo....... no way I'd be any help on those bolts.

Just rest the t-case on your chest and puff it up. That's the way I did my last tranny. haha

Frank

 

[86 slo-vo]

t-case

Slo-Vo,
That's good shit!! I'm going to go ahead and put in the rear shackles I picked up first of next week. My rear sags some anyway, probably from 16 yr old springs the last guy hauling sheetrock and my firewood hauling adventures (you really don't want to know).
Since I have that SOTF crap, I was looking at the TRS vendor Shiftster. It's $59 something. I ordered one just in case. I get stuck somewhere and that crap goes out. Suppossedly they are working on in the cab linkage for it!! BUt for now I'd have to crawl through the much and mire to rotate the dang thing. Could be a get home device though??
