Looks good Dylan glad you got it all fixed. It hit 62 the past 2 days here in Mass so I went for a joy ride with all the windows down. Now I'm thinking about buying some steering stabilizers, not sure if I want to do dual or just a single

 

Nice work Dylan. I need to replace a wheel cylinder on the Black Sheep. Since you are now so good at brakes ya wanna do mine?

 

I put oil in mine. It was lowwwwww like in the ADD area and I already put oil in it not to long ago. Guess it's burning oil.


Ready to put my damn 460 in.

 

Thanks guys, I got it all bled today. I just need to snap a few pictures. Bleeding it was an experience in a half, did you know that the tiny little reservoir in the front of the master was for the rears?!? I sure didn't. Me and my step dad fiddled with the bleeders for a while then I called my neighbor over and he said "well ya got no fluid in the front here. Fill that up and you're good to go"... The little things in life that **** you off.

Encho, I honestly don't think your brakes adjusted themselves when you worked on the trans unless maybe the parking brake cables are being pulled tight by something. How is your fluid?

Manfred, mine often gets so low that it doesn't touch the dipstick. That's when I know it's time to add a few quarts

Zip, I honestly hate this crap... All the springs and the hurt fingers from banging them on something after the spring slips. It's annoying. But if I was payed correctly, doing a wheel cylinder wouldn't be so bad. My passenger side one needs to be replaced along with the studs on that axle.

 

Tore open the back gate and rewired most of it, cleaned it out with the shop vac, cleaned the interior intensly (there was water leaking into the bad and the carpet was soaked and smelly) I opened up the read carpet and insulation and propped it up with curtain rods. Put a box fan on it to dry it out while I topped off the coolant (new radiator recently and all the hoses were a little loose and leaky, so tightened them up yesterday. Washed truck, drove truck to NEXT town down the highway to parts store instead of parts store here in town so I could get oil and filter for Motorcycle.

Love that old truck, it just keeps on chuggin.

Got the oil pan on yesterday.. Gonna silicone the smog pump and pb blaster it till its full.. Gonna run to pep boys for $10 of 5 quart oil

 

Put a set of Flowmaster Super 44 series 2.5 inch mufflers on, sounds great with the Long Tube Headers on it.

 

Hey Everclr, how is the highway drone with those flowmasters? I know the plain 40's had bad drone then the super 40's were supposed to fix that issue. I haven't ever heard super 44's though.

 

Dylan the 44s are quiet lol.. 40 is a little louder

 

Well define quiet like, cherry bomb quiet or OEM muffler quiet? I love the idea of cherry bomb mufflers but they are too high pitch. I want a nice low rumble that you could feel in your chest. it doesn't really have to be loud per say.

 

44 is like a stock muffler lol with a little sound..cherry bomb is like a straight pipe..

 

Ah ok. I think I read about those being used a lot in vans or the vehicles with larger motors.

 

With a 351w it's really restrictive.. I might throw the cherry bomb back on.. But the 44s sound 2x as good on a 390 or 460

 

I was thinking about a cherry bomb on my 460

 

I like cherry bombs for 302s and 351s.. Flow masters for 390 and 460 has a nice throaty sound and not like a stock replacement muffler
