I'd like to throw together a wrench party for sometime in June or July to replace my failing torque converter..

I know everyone is busy this time of year, but once I get the replacement I have 30 days to get the old one back to them for the core charge..

I haven't changed a tc before, but I'm thinking it shouldn't be too big a deal right? Now that we can fit under the truck that is..

Let me know what might work best for you guys> 6/20, 6/27, 7/11, 7/18,

 

Also.. should i get one with the stall lowered 500rpm?

 

Hmmmm.....I know you're in a hurry, and I hate to be the guy to put the brakes on a project, but I just got off the phone with Dave and the earliest either one of us has is 7/18. However, we do both have that day open and it's yours if you want it.

I wouldn't mess with the stall speed. Some of the hot rod guys do that, but I think it would make it pretty notchy on the street.

 

It's not that big of a hurry, I just need to time the order right in order to get the core back to them.

We also need a summer gtg before everyone gets too busy, It looks like maybe 7/18 may be the 1st time available for that..
lets hold off and see what everyone else wants to do

btw.. I also ordered a triple pillar, pyro guage, a tapped aih fitting, and some o-rings for the xover line from Rifraff the other day..
I'll be piddling with this stuff as time permits

 

Let me know when you get the o-rings and I'll bring that crossover line over.

 

Sorry we can't do it any earlier Joe but I have so much stuff going on right now I barely have time to get on here. We can do it down at my dad's shop it will be alot easier that way, maybe you can drop the truck off the night before so it will be cool in the morning to work on.

 

Keep me informed. I want to help.

7/18 works for me, if it works for you guys..

The ole lady's birthday is the 17th, so we can drop the truck off that night on the way to eat dinner.

I'll provide beer and food, what time to yall want to get started?

 

I'd like to get started on the 11th

 

Count me in on whatever day yall decide

 

You guys had me totally surprised.

To those not in the know, my wife had conspired with Scott and Dave to
order the torque converter for my father's day present.

In fact the 18th isn't available to them at all, the just set that date to keep me from ordering it myself.

The GTG will be 7/11, most likely at Dave Sr.'s, pending approval from him.

 

sneaky ppl

 

Nah....we're not sneaky, we just helped

 

That's right just wait till we get sneaky Happy fathers day Joe.


Oh yeah the 11th sounds better for me too. Our first G2G wrench party ...

 

Should be interesting.....I'll probably have the wife bring the car in case we go long on the wrenching.
