Make sure the pain in the ass strut rods are there from the engine to the transfer case.

Cucv’s didn’t get them.

I know hard driven gassers brake trans/t case mounts , so maybe they should.

I think there are aftermarket ones just not sure if they fix any trans or engine.

 

[Bob Kazamakis]

Probably can’t hurt. Probably easy enough to just make one too though they should be plentiful in junk yards by now.

Buttoned everything up last week, ran into a few hiccups thanks to me just not paying attention to things and getting excited about driving it. It’s driven back and forth to work twice and around town yesterday.

The 1-2 shift was crazy hard but did some tuning and is much better. Still need to hookup my rpm signal and then hopefully everything is pretty much done.

4 gears is so much nicer.

Well I haven’t driven this thing much since winter. It has been leaking trans fluid from between the trans and the transfer case. So I bought the 4L80E adapter and new seals. I actually had some time this weekend and started working on it.

Out with the old

On with the new

Got it back up in but have to fab up a spacer mount because the 4L80E adapter is 4 3/4” shorter. So I’m in the middle of that right now.

I have lots of other little stuff to do...
- valve cover gasket
- weld exhaust
- make a center console
- put in gauges
- find vibration
- install winch
- clean and touch up paint underneath
- stereo and speakers
- debating on bed lining the interior

Hopefully I’ll get it done before winter lol.
