Re: Shop Truck refurb, code name Chaser

Next thing, pinion seal leaking badly. Same with the oil pressure sensor. Replaced both with ease and eliminated the major leaks. Next was to remove the smog junk. Wasn't hooked up anyways, PO had true duals with flowmasters put on it at sometime, no cat's. Thank goodness we do not have emissions testing here any more.
I knew my guys were removing all the smog stuff, but when I walked out in the shop and seen both of them under the hood, one with a water bottle, the other with a torch and the fire extinguisher sitting beside them, my heart jumped a beat. They had to liquid wrench a few of the bolts off, then we just welded a plug in the extra holes on the manifolds.
While doing the pinion seal, we decided new ujoints were in order as well for the drive shaft. Might as well "since we were right there".
Also obtained another set of rallys, went ahead and painted them red, cleaned up the trim and put new shoes on them. Went with 265/75R15, seemed to fill in the tire well better.
