Howdy! 'Been a while,...
FRANKENTRUCK just got some new seals 'tween the TH400, and the NP205 - actually, the 'figure-of-eight' adapter seals.
The truck is still bustin' butt out here in Northern Colorado! The 'peppy' 350 V8, that I built, starts/runs like a champ, and 4:11 gears make it jump when you want it to!
I haven't had a need for it's front-wheel-drive for a long time - I wonder if I should shift it into FWD, and use that for a while. That way the rear axle could hum along in Neutral. Maybe shift back and forth, occasionally? Any thoughts, out there?
Enjoy your trucks, all!
