so today joe made the 75 mile trip from his pad to sacramento to help swap the 2wd zf5 with the 4wd zf5 from my parts truck.


today we removed the 2wd trans out of the tow pig, and started the dmf conversion i spent $595 on a smf only to find out that my truck already had a smf with a luk clutch. the only problem we saw was this

that is what is left of the bushing that holds the pilot bearing.
these are the rest of the pics (not much)

 

You didn't let him use his hammer did you. lol Do ya like it. Woo Hoooo

 

my buddy chris that did the majority of the work idn't know and gave him a hammer...................................

expect one tomorrow wow it took joe 1 hour to get the cover that covers the shifter hole off. the one on the 2wd's that covers the 4wd shifter hole

 

We need a good picture of you two together! Let Joe hold your hammer! What a Kodak moment!!

 

unfortunately the boss (the guy getting $parts for the work) was snapping the whip to get moooooving. i didn't even get to have a beer till about 6:15 ish

 

oh this is the truck for reference

 

That is 6 15 AM right?? thats my start time {most of the time}

 

i wish, although i wouldn't be able to type rite now















































































any better than joe...............


































































jk joe, you know i love you bro

 

Male bonding................hmmm................. not that theres anything wrong with that..................

 

what is left to do
tighten the top two BH bolts.
get and install a new carrier bearing
install the drive lines
put the interior back together
fill tc and trans
hope the trans is good
**** off neighbors with high rpm passes (4" straight pipe)

 

never forget that step!

 

i can't understand their complaints, either i cant hear them over their circus music or it's not English .

 

that true i learnd zf5 ant as light as i thought lol to get that dam thing in we had to us a engine host in the cab yea it took me a hour to get that plat of but dam with they but it on it had enoght glue putty stuff to surive a nuck blast and they onlt gave me a small ballping hammer

 

we didn't need more then a 3.2

 

Probably a good thing, an 8 pounder would have probably resulted in a smashed nose while you were clicking pics.

A good laugh, but not when you are trying to put the truck together.
