Installed new shocks on my Dad's 71 big block.
Took my 72 out from winter hibernation and washed it. |

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Today on the way home from work, I recessed the grille and lowered the passenger headlight a little with the help of some friends I made in a Hyundai. Also I vented my aluminum radiator, trans cooler and engine oil cooler with the water pump pulley.

I'm sure the sense of humor didn't come out right away, lol. But glad you have it. I'm sure you'll get it together.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Sweet mod........That's a bummer. How's the frame?
I only built shelves above the garage door, for the cowl and an NOS inner grille I couldn't pass up.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Yesterday actually, finished insulating the fire wall and under cowl with EZ Cool insulation. I applied two layers on the fire wall and one on the cowl area, used 3M head liner spray adhesive, adheres really well.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
Less than 500 miles into driving the pickup in its current configuration, the trans is toast!
It was just rebuilt, hopefully the builder stands behind it! |

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
I hate to ask... but what trans is it? If its a th350 or th400, the detent (kick) down cable is VERY important to get set Correctly... or it will slip the clutches and fry a good trans... Sorry for your luck though..

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
TH350, everything was adjusted right, and it was running good. It came apart under full load shifting into 3rd. I got it out last night and it seems as though the input shaft sheered all the splines off inside or I broke the drum. 500hp shifting right at peak power was just a little more than it wanted.

Your builder may have used some cheap innerds in it... see what he will stand behind and go from there.

Re: What did you do to your truck today? Chapter II
my TH350 will not shift down on its own, i always i have to manually do it under load (if i feel it needs a downshift). could my kickdown cable not be adjust correctly?
