So I had a chance to come home early yesterday and work on the truck. The weather was good and a cold front moved in last night and has dropped the temps enough to not make it so fun to work out there so I was glad to have the chance.
I installed the Inline Tube Co. Emergency brake cables yesterday, and then realized that the only thing keeping me from driving it was the tie rod that should show up today.
So after a fair amount of "button up" I finished up just before dark...
I hadda drive it!!!! So I threw the old tie rod end back in and carefully ran around the block a few times. Everything worked great!
I changed so much with the drive train that I feared the chance of odd vibrations, clutch issues, or a possible noisy trans since I really didnt know much about the T5's history.
Anyhow, at 35mph all seems to be great. I hope to get the tie rod end tonight, install and get a rough alignment done in the drive way, then just spend the entire weekend cleaning up all the loose ends.
The scene from my garage as of late! Hahahah
