Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
Really? That's awesome. Careful, I might take you up on that. Yes, Portland has amazing breweries and distilleries. There are roughly a dozen cool bars too just within a mile of my house. I love Portland.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
speaking of "rolling" you got a access to our web cam or something?
daughters Mazda 3 is in the garage getting a new TCM (pronounced: $728 tiny box) so I had to roll out Creepin' Death for all of the HOA to see and I've been wrenchin' on her in the driveway Fun Level: 2 |

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
I think the 4 WD or big block trucks had the bolt in "high hump" transmission cover whereas your run of the mill low hump trans tunnel (ie: floor) came on the 2 WD trucks. I had to install a high hump tunnel and just used a rivnut tool so I can bolt it down. I love those things.

Re: My Dusty 71 GMCe Electruck
reserved for some pics of the finished transmission cable linkage if and when my friends show up to help me, one says he has a cracked rib from working on his friend's GTzero and the other claims to have fallen off his bicycle into some strategically placed poison oak [again]
This is using B&M push pull cable designed for a dime a dozen American GM Turbo TH350 three-speed transmission shown going through the gears: PARK, REVERSE, NEUTRAL, DRIVE a little video of it in action: B&M Shifter with Lexus GS450h transmission Last edited by Gregski; 06-28-2023 at 12:19 AM. |
