Ended up changing the transmission in his truck. (I just LOVE doing $h!+ twice!) I had a few spares, put the one in with nasty looking fluid, has all gears and shifts like a dream - go figure! I flushed it and installed a new filter/pan gasket today. Going to dial it in more tomorrow. The engine sounds really healthy, should be plenty to get him in trouble.

I worked on the boat. Hull and top are white, then some red. Sides are black. Well they used to be they turned gray from oxidation. Wheeled out one side with Meguirs cutting compound, turned out pretty good but it's a lot of work. I'll work on the other side next week, when it's going to close to 90 all week.

Back to work on the 4wd GMC Sierra, the rear brakes are giving me trouble. I moved up the rear axle swap. Not going to put any money into the drum brakes on the 10 bolt. Swapping in a 14 bolt semi floater 9.5" ring gear light duty rear axle. Got the 10 bolt out today, and the 14 bolt SF rear set up the truck. Got to get it bolted in and then tear it down for the posi/gear swap. After that, rockers and cab corners.

Its called DAP weldwood and comes in gallon or 5 gallon. You have to use a spray gun. On the can its not for sale in calif and for pro use only....go figure. |
