Talking Parts came in.

Good day today my parts are rolling in.
I orderd a Detroit TrueTrac locker, new pinion/ring gear and a master rebuild kit, 2.5" lift from Skyjacker, 4 new Skyjacker shocks and a steering shock, a drop pittman arm, new rear drums, pads, wheel clylinders, springs, adjusters and brake lines. should keep me busy this weekend

Bad thing is my rear blocks and spring bushings had to come from a different place and might not make it here this week so putting on the lift might have to wait.

Next will be the front diff install with new brakes, master cylinder and power booster so it will stop better or like it should.

Then Iam off to figure out why the 4wd on the TC (T221) is not working and hope its something simple I can replace or fix without having to swap in a different model.
Then to take off the single plane high rise intake and 750 Holley DP and install the dual plane and 600 Holley with my Jet coated headers I all ready had. Motor is pretty much stock and not sure why someone would have put this high rise (plus spacer) intake and huge 750 dp on it..lol

Once all thats done should be a very reliable truck..lol

Yeah lots of work, only part that bums me out is the TC I was bold face lied to about its working condition, but it is what it is I guess.
I will get all this done and have a very solid truck .

Re: Parts came in.

I just swapped out the yoke on the diff so Iam good to go on that.
Can't get the brakes to bleed out though, can't even get hardly any fluid to come out and the pedal is just dead feeling. It had fine brakes before I took the line off but has zero brakes now...

Re: Parts came in.

Sounds like a tripped prop valve..they should bleed once you recenter it.
