Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
It's a 4L60 (700R4) out of a 1993 Caprice at Pick-N-Pull. I rebuilt it with the help of an instructional video I purchased from Monster Transmissions. Used a TCI kit. Replaced some of the larger hard parts that are known to be problematic with heavy-duty versions.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
got the shorter hoses clocked correctly, and their ends ground down to fit in the brackets. I've been 3h away from bleeding my brakes since Thanksgiving.
THIS TIME FOR SURE!!!! |

I have thought about a stoutly-rebuilt TH700-R4 to replace the TH350 in White Fang, my '67 K/10 Suburban, but that's a long way off. I know you're about one wrench-thru-the-garage-drywall-in-frustration from re-rigging for Manual Transmission. And you're contemplating the T-5 five-speed. I'm not a fan of that unit. A friend had one and we replaced it 3 times one year. In my opinion it's too wimpy in a Truck. For my money, I'd get a New Process A833 5-speed [or 4+OD]. They were more of a MOPAR tranny, but some mid-'80s Squarebody light duty pickups were optioned with them. The Holy Grail of transmission hunts now. ![]()

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Took my truck for a wheel alignment today as everything was replaced in the front end. First drive of any distance , just a couple miles to the alignment shop, since te refurbish and what a difference in the way truck drives. Pic is the alignment specs which the tech started going over with me and I told him I'm clueless as to what he's talking about although he said everything was great as far as alignment and suspension went. I'm sure there are folks on here that can relate to the alignment specs.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Not today - but visiting a chassis shop tomorrow morning to begin plans on joining those who have lowered their trucks. Going to see what the options are, and to probably include a disc brake upgrade up front.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
struggled unsuccessfully to get the brake lines clamped to the xmember.
Going to punt on this, get the lines bled and leak tested, then drive the ***** up on ramps to secure those lines with some damned room to work |

Changed the rear end fluid. Checked axles seals and all dry so the 12 bolt is good to go.

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
if you don't have the SPID or buildsheet under the seat, then you can still create one based on what your truck's details and options are, along with the VIN. It will be probably really close, or at minimum what you want it to show. If you don't already know, you might get fully educated on what all the options were available. It'll be more of a crap shoot on a few items like tires, gearing, etc. Either way, it's easy to determine what the manufacture list prices were on every item.

Managed to mount the radiator overflow tank and PS reservoir, today. Waiting on a couple of 90 degree fittings so I can connect the last PS hose.

Went in for an inspection, rolled out with an oil change, recharged air conditioning, and topped off fluids.

Detailing - cleaned all the window rubber gaskets and polished all the window brightwork. Good for another 51 years

Re: What did you do to your truck today.The 3rd chapter
Took driver side door apart and installed new glass and track, lubed up channels and coated bottom inside of door with POR15. Also added correct spacers to window crank and door handle. Window and door operate as they should now.
