Travis, give him about a thousand miles to break in the engine then :burnout:

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

:haha: no intentional burnouts for this one, just hope this trans lasts a while...

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

I didn't know he put in a new engine. I thought it was a used one from another truck.

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Awwww....COME ON MAN!!!!
;)

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Nope brand new, bored .040 over, valve job/surfaced the heads and the whole 9 yards :D as of today it has 70 miles on everything... oh and the rear end was howling like a dog with tornado sirens blaring so i took it to work and pulled the cover on the rear end and the gear set was wasted so i put new bearings in it and ring and pinion 3:73 ;)

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Cool. Well I understand not wanting to do a burnout in your truck with the new engine and tranny and all. I don't blame you one bit.


Listen, Joe and I was wondering if we could borrow the truck next week.

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

:lol:

yeah, we need to haul some......um......stuff.
;)

we will stress test everything while we are at it .....

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build

Hey, backup plans are boring. Let us show you how to live the exciting life!!

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Never a lack of volunteers to "test" things huh? lol

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Especially when it's someone elses's stuff! :lol:

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Someone needs to test their welder in my garage and put on my cab corners.

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Talk to Joe. He's getting pretty good with the welder.

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

I am just messing. I have to wait till it gets a bit warmer. A few weekends ago I bundled up and worked and have not been able to shake a cold for more than a few days since.

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

UPDATE------------ trans went out after 165miles, screw it im going to leave that one up to the professionals :devil: :lol:

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

:banghead:

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

SHOULDA DID A FREAKIN BURNOUT WHEN YOU HAD THE CHANCE!!



:lol:
Just kiddin bro. That really sucks

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

:lol: new engine, new drive line, new rear end POS TRANS :lol: oh well i guess the $700 will be worth it...

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

So what do you think happened with your tranny? Did it just start slipping or what?

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

That's a bummer man.

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

It was running fine then i stopped by work so a train could go by and when we all started going the trans was slipping real bad and truck reved really high just to get it off the road, if you let it sit for a while it goes in gear and drives for a couple hundred feet until it warms up then to nothing again..

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Almost sounds like a band adjustment. If it rolls fast enough to shift into 2nd does it go ahead and take off?

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Nope just goes ahead and slips and stops..

Re: My 93 Crewcab Build
 

Made ya look ;)
