Re: Project: Over My Head
Well, I did indeed crack the front pump rotor on the transmission. Lesson learned (the hard way) : you need to seat the torque converter all the way down before you bolt anything up.
That said, I got the transmission out & apart yesterday and I'm waiting on a new-to-me front pump. While I was waiting...
Well, I got the inner fenders trimmed to clear the new additions (power steering, relocated shock absorbers) and did some more damage on the wiring. Hung the inner fenders & the truck looks a lot more truck like. Also replaced the leaking water pump & refilled her with coolant. Haven't pressure tested yet but no drips, at least.
If tomorrow goes like it's planned, I'm maybe an additional 1/2 hour's work and I could drive it around the block.
And still spend the next 10 years screwing with it, chasing details & making it pretty.
