My truck is trying to get rid of me!
My transfer started leaking real bad about three weeks ago. Wanted to replace the pack before rebuilding the trans and transfer. but the seal in the adapter gave out and started leaking oil into the transfer. Finally too much oil dripping to ignore.
Oil Leaks and The Domino Effect.
I dropped the transmission and transfer... yes, by myself with a floor jack!
Well, if the transmission is out might as well do the clutch, and flywheel.
Well, if I put in a new clutch I might as well do the rear seal and oil pan gasket. No sense in getting oil on the new clutch setup.
I took the trans and transfer to get rebuilt. I did the pan gasket, rear seal and clutch the weekend the gears boxes were in the shop.
re-installed the trans and transfer... yes by myself and with a floor jack.
You want to own one of these old rust buckets, you gotta own it... don't let it own you.
Ya you gotta be a bit tuff and willing to roll the creeper out in the blazing summer heat or cold winter bite.
$1,400 for: trans/transfer rebuild. clutch/plate, flywheel, one piece pan gasket, rear seal, 2 gallon oil,starter bracket, 6 rolls scott shop towels, two bars lava soap(wife can use it in your mouth if you get too loud), beer(lots of beer), Doritos chips, Chips Ahoy cookies.
Want to know how much to pay someone? I would sell too, and I ain't broke!
If it breaks... whop its A$$... at point of discovery.
