I don't think I'll be pulling the tranny out but I might have to pull the engine out to swap out the oil pan. If the oil cooler lines leak then I'm gonna try and re-tap the bolt holes but if that doesn't work or get's messy than I'll just swap the pan out. But I did get a few things done today...

So the Fed-ex guy showed up with some presents!!
However they weren't exactly for the truck! I ordered a peg board like a month ago and it finally got here so I spend the better part of the morning mounting it to the cinder block wall.

This is what it looked like when I finally got it mounted...




I spend a good two hours organizing the tool organizers on the peg board because I'm OCD and eventually got them set-up pretty good, got the bench moved back and now I have a clear work space!





So moving on, I was kinda limited in what I could do today because I'm waiting on some parts/gaskets to show up at a dealership which will hopefully be tomorrow (fingers crossed). However when I was cleaning my bench up and sorting through some random bolts I had from my last truck I found this!



So I went ahead and swapped it out but those bolt holes are not in good shape! (well see how well it holds and at the first sign of a drop of oil I'm gonna retap that hole. I also bolted on my freebie-alternator!! (Thank you big D!!! )

Cool thanks B!! I will definitely be hitting you up if the need arises! Thanks for the offer!! Also, I was kinda hoping you'd stop by and say hi on your way home yesterday but you were in a hurry I guess!
I have to swing by your neck of the woods and return some fuel rail fittings at Hawaii Racing tomorrow. Can't believe how expensive a damn fitting is!
