^ what he said, you can pull it off and clamp a spray can cap etc.

S-10Driver · 02-03-2008, 05:07 PM

been a while since i've done an update...cause well...theres been nothing to update about. lol the trucks suffered a ding in the rear from what i'm guessing was from either a car or a buggy thanks to a POS shopper at wal-mart. but it's not too bad.

i'm finally getting around to fixing my transmission line. i got a 12" piece of steel tubing and two ferrel pipe connectors. while i'm fixing that i'm gonna install an aftermarket tranny cooler and probably a drain plug on the tranny pan.

Good thinkin. When are you plannin on doin all this? I was wondering if maybe I could swing by the shop where you work and change my diff fluid.

i'm sure it wouldn't be a problem. i'll ask my boss and make sure. you can probably swing by during lunch (1-2) one day or after work (at like 7) and get 'r done.

hell, i got a jack and stands, we can do it in my driveway. get a pan, some RTV, and a new gasket. i'll grab a scraper from work.

BudRacing · 02-03-2008, 11:41 PM

I've got a jack and stands here, I just don't feel like doin it on my back and havin to take it to autozone to dump the fluid.

TA^Guy · 02-06-2008, 11:25 PM

Watched the one video from inside the truck and it looks like you could really benifit from a ZQ8 or Camaro steering box. You'll be doing alot less steering wheel shuffle. I haven't auto-x my truk but I did with my '92 Z28 on Eibach and loved it.

S-10Driver · 02-11-2008, 10:22 PM

nah, ZQ8 boxes are for wussies.

...j/k, i would love to have one. haha

S-10Driver · 02-19-2008, 11:43 PM

transmission line is repaired. 2 ferrel and barb fittings and double clamped...it's not coming loose.

also cut my pass side bumpstop bracket off...never got around to doing it. and swapped back to a 195 t-stat. i had my 2nd 180 stat screw up on me.

BudRacing · 02-20-2008, 10:02 AM

5.3 swap begins tomorrow.

S-10Driver · 05-19-2008, 10:13 PM

idk, we were kinda on the fence about them...we think that my old ZQ-8's fit the truck better.

i've also been doing some underhood cleaning.

trying my hand at polishing some underhood stuff.

ProTouring2.2 · 05-19-2008, 10:21 PM
