Re: "Dixie" 1988 Chevrolet V30 3+3 Dually
This weekend I did not get as much done as I was hoping for, the temperatures here in Texas have been insane for October.
The transmission had a small leak that kept dripping on the driveway. After examining the pan, I found the leak was coming from around the kickdown case switch. The truck had an aftermarket B&M pan on it with a drain plug, so it made the oil change a little bit easier and cleaner. The new switch arrived from Summit within 2 days, I am always amazed on how quick their standard shipping is. I picked up two new o-rings and installed the new switch. Changed out the filter, installed the new gasket, and filled up the pan.
When I bought the truck I noticed I was missing 2 cab mount bolts so the cab was never fully bolted down to the frame. The rubber mounts had seen better days so I decided to upgrade to polyurethane mounts while I was swapping them out. I replaced the shims, bottom cups, and the bolts. With everything snugged down, the cab rides so much nicer.
