Re: My 66 Project
Has been a while since I've updated the thread. The old 250 finally came apart. Not sure if it ate a cam lobe or what, but ended up having to pull it. Since the truck shares daily duty it needed to be back on the road quick. Bought a pullout 4.8/4L60E and threw it in. Had some growing pains and ended up on the back of a wrecker for a bad fuel line, but all is well. Took the truck on an overnight trip with the wife to Little Rock, AR. Had a guy in front one morning on my way to work not see a slow truck and trailer and he tried to avoid it at last minute. Went from cruise set at 68 to full brake. Tried to steer into the fast lane but it turned him up on his side and into that lane so I tried for the turning lane but by then the backend was coming around. Thankfully noone was in oncoming lanes and I just slid into some branches. Made it out with some scuffs, but no dents and everyone was ok. Gave a good scare though. Other than that the old truck has been doing great.
