I am short on funds and can not afford the hired Help of a mechanic! MY credit cards are about to reach there limits and I am glad I have you guys with out your help on assisting me I wouldn't be where I am now and would have to give up on what I love my truck this is the second Truck I have owned the first had to go and I trully regret selling it but we all know how a devorce goes Especially if the wife knows how much money we put into our trucks! But with everyones help here who needs To pay anyone for the knowledge we can all share and offer! KNOWLEDGE IS POWER and everyone here has giving me some POWER! If it wasn't for this site I think I would have given up and sold my truck even before I enjoyed it but I didn't give up and I am still in the game Now If I could only speed it up and put her back together THANKS.................................................................................. .......I can't wait to get her running again!!!

Congraulations!!!! If everyone would try something new who's know what we could do. Keep up the good work and remember if you don't ask how will you learn. By the way, the truck is looking GOOD.

Okay, you want someone to call you a mechanic? After servicing a transmission, pulling/reinstalling an engine? Are you NUTS??? Do you know how many of your friends and extended family members you're going to have to help?

Seriously, I don't know at what point we become "mechanics", although the list of things you did are certainly on the O.J.T. task sheet. I'd give you a call if I needed help or an answer....

Congrats on your build and your engine looks clean. Truck looks clean. "Clean" is a term I picked up in AZ about 40 years ago...but it coulda been an eastern U.S. term that the guys I was stationed with used. But it means that it's nice.

Glad you like us.

In current economic times, it truly pays to be your own mechanic and with thousands of assistants (board members) at your fingertips, literally, the knowledge is endless. BTW, great looking motor and congrats on "jumping in and doing the tranny service yourself".
