Re: Project: Over My Head
Update:
The transmission "experts" across the street ordered me the wrong pump. Or they were sent the wrong pump. Whichever way it happened, the wrong part showed up & now I'm waiting on try #2. Frustrating, since I could have had the right part at 1/2 their price by now, but I didn't know that at the time.
I called four vendors and drove as much as 45 miles to get power steering lines done. Mind you, I'd told a local builder that I wanted him to do the lines & he agreed that yes, I'd give him money & he'd do the lines. Two weeks worth of excuses later, I spent all of today driving, talking & cussing about it. Finally, though, I found a guy at the local hydraulics shop who knew his business. $37 later, I've got it plumbed up.
So now, all that remains (I think)
Put the trans back together & reinstall it,
plumb the MAF / air filter (arrives tomorrow)
Mount the tank / filler for what I hope is the last time
and then I should be ready to drive it onto the trailer with power steering, brakes & a shade under 300 horsepower.
