Re: Project "Just an Old Truck"
I feel ashamed... I had to take my truck to the exhaust shop because I couldn't get the header collectors to stop leaking. What was the cause? LAZINESS! I didn't clean the flanges well enough and some old gasket material was stopping the new aluminum gaskets from sealing. Aside from that embarassment the truck is back in good shape. The carquest heater core is working well with no leaks. I was able to lower the transmission mount half an inch to get the transmission off of the body and the tail shaft is only 2.5° tail low (was 5°). I also had the drive shaft balanced. There is less vibration, but I think it can be better. For now I'm gonna drive it.
