View attachment 337236Washed the truck on the right I bought for parts for my crew project. Took a picture with my other truck.

Green truck is too nice to be a parts truck!

Tomorrow........ Only thing stopping from getting swapped is loss of my arranged lift or death.

I need a good box for my crew. Was going to use more but found good doors and fenders. So will most likely move on with a different box.

 

[Stevetheboatguy]

Not a single pic of it. But got muh 4l80 swapped.


Liking the way the new build performs so far. Going to take it easy on it for a short while then proceed to drive it like a rental.

I got the rear end back under my car finally. I just have to adjust everything to center it, set the wheel base and set the pinion angle. And with my luck I now need to have another y pipe made for the exhaust. The new trans crossmember sticks down about 1” lower

Awesome Mike! Looks great. You're knocking that one out of the park.

 

[Canadian farm boy]

Back on her wheels. Gonna call the exhaust shop in the morning.

What size is the pipe that goes from the front to the rear ?

You asking about the exhaust pipe Kev?
The exhaust pipe is 3”

 

[Moparmyway]

Single 3" outlet, or does it divide into two after the muffler ?

 

[Moparmyway]

I've got the stainless pipe and the V bands along with the male & female coupler adapters. Got a bunch of UJ's as well ........... going to start on the Mudstains exhaust next, still working on timing cover & passenger side water pump inlet sourcing

Single 3” into the muff and dual 2.5” out.

She ran ……. but that was many moons ago. She was one of them sideways tracking about to be another statistic driving jalopys (you know …… a regular old Mudstain)

 

[Stevetheboatguy]

Dinosaur I know. But have to ask..... Anybody know the proper procedure for setup?



It works I just need to know if there is a first run zero step. To make sure I'm not endlessly tossing weight on and such.

[Moparmyway]

Tire balancing machine ???

So the first knob you can set for normal, weights on the bead,or aluminum1 or aluminum2 which you use either stick on weights or stick on and a bead weight like the diagram.You turn the knob all the way to the right and back of a bit turn right again repete till you have the weight type you are going to use.Then it functions as the width of the rim form out side bead to outside bead
Second knob is wheel size,15-16-17 inch
third knob is the measure of the tire machine to the outside of the bead.That is the l shaped thing you pull out and put the pin on the edge of the wheel.
You will need some adapters to do dually wheels.

That's what I thought. Didn't know if it had to do a empty run to zero it out each time or not.

Have very little experience with a balancer. But am happy to add it to my garage. Need to find some time to play with some different wheels and get the procedure down.

Thank you for the input. I may have to pm you if I need further instructions!
