I like how jobs like that look so much like spaghetti with all the wires hanging everywhere. Then when you finish the job the spaghetti is gone.oh it was a mess before i re-routed the wires more appropriately, took about 4 hours to do total, what a mess.Nice.
the nos is on next weeks episode of what will i fuck up next!
gone in sixty seconds?the nos is on next weeks episode of what will i fuck up next!
120... 130.... 140..... he's gone
that will be the story of the crank, "gone in 60 seconds"
no balls
a little more progress has been made!
Look at all the nasty old foam that had to be cleaned off.
Got that foam off in about 90 min, completely clean.
Then came the new head liner material. Not bad for my first time.
Next was hanging it. This took almost a hour to wrestle it up there and keep it up. Easy enough though.
This project took me 3 hours with a trip to lowes in the middle to buy some velcro.

another big weekend coming up...
well, the clutch didnt get done yesterday.. Snapped one of the trans mount bolts and spent a good portion of the day drilling that little turd out. So all that got done yesterday was the trans mount got replaced because it was toast and the front right brake line got replaced. However this morning i did replace the starter and it made a world of difference, because it was cranking very very slowly.
This started as a clutch job because of a bad throw out bearing. it was growling with light pressure on the clutch and squeaking with no pressure. The old bearing was toast, it had play and just free spun for 15 seconds when you would spin it.
14 hours later the clutch is replaced and all of the "side issues" are fixed
had to take the exhaust off..
trans is finally out, gross right? my thoughts too...
new clutch fork and throw out bearing, still gross
pressure plate and flywheel
pressure plate
old parts... hmmm witness marks... not good..
\
old friction disk is looking very shiny... lots of glazing.
Hmm... pressure plate doesnt look hot either.
and neither does the flywheel... good thing I got a new one. there was large amounts of bluing on the pressure plate and flywheel, suggesting prolonged slippage.
Long story short day 1 all of the new parts went in, when it was all done truck would not fully disengage. Got frustrated called it a night. Next morning truck was making some strange sounds. going back for more inspection possibly pull the trans again. as we are pulling the truck onto the lift clutch pedal is fully depressed and truck starts grabbing the clutch and stalls. I've had this happen once before, slave cylinder popped. Off to the parts store to get a new one and slap it in. Once it's in lots of bleeding to get the air out. Finally, the truck drives and shifts right with full disengagement.
