Pull plugs, unplug injectors, turn over until the gauge starts to show pressure. Once i have a steady pressure reinstall plugs and reconnect injectors. Ready to crank

Driveshaft specialist is hands down the best company to deal with


Im waiting on a 3" 90 degree bend to come in so i can finish the Y pipe. I have my ball flanges cut to size, 1 welded on the passenger side. I also have the v band welded to the flex tube.

I have my driveshaft installed, next is to set the rear end and tack the leaf perches on. I still need to cut the old perches off.

The transmission filter is a dealer item and i waited too long friday to run and get one


List:
Transmission filter
Add water, bleed system
Prime oil system
Finish y pipe
Weld leaf perches
Get an air filter

Post some pics of the exhaust setup when you get it all buttoned up. This is gonna be a pretty nice set up.

Pacesetter Y pipe. Took the ubolt style clamp off and welded it up. Not too bad for a rookie.

Got the oil system primed. I had 60psi but my phone didnt snap the pic fast enough.

Only thing left is to finish the Y pipe, leaf perches, get new u bolts, bleed the water system. Then 500 baby miles!

That weld is actually prettier than what I used to do to exhaust systems - with a gas ax and a chunk of coat hanger ...
