so what were you doing when it let go?

was it another AWD wheel burnout?

 

they did'nt actually think you were gonna tow with the truck did they

 

With the SLOW paced home improvements I've been working on, more improvements warranted storage space. So... something had to go. Next on the chopping block is a motorscooter that needs a new battery and pedcock. Fun little 35mph scooter that might be worth a Craigslist sale.

Once Casey gets his trans converted to be a truck trans, the rest of my "spare" parts are goin' bye bye. Even I'm tired of crossover crap in there. Going to be working on shelving that space, and adding a custom workbench. But... the crap's gotta go FIRST.

 

Driving on the interstate. Never had one go quite like this one. I got on the interstate, I noticed I never felt the converter lock up. I was rolling about 75 or so at about 2300rpm, tapped the gas watching the rpms, next thing I knew it was taking 3500rpm to maintain 75. Stopped on the way to work and caught a ride with a friend, on the way home it retired completely.

 

At least u have a sense of humor bout it all. On my 89 I went thru some blowin up of trannies & all rear was prolly to fault since it took out a built tranny once. Heck, it may've lead to the 1st time. All I know is, on the 04, before i put a Radix in...FLT is going in before my already weak 60e goes out. And from reading PT, I should upgrade rearend as well. Some even say a better driveshaft. Never ending.

 

Knowing what Ive learned, if I was to build another (wich I would love to) I would have a FLT, Vig, and Detroit before I touched anything other than a tune.
It sucks to have your day ruined because of something you already know is weak breaking

 

That is pretty much the plan for me, that right there. I want no driveline worries.
