Ok,,, I got a lil off track,,,, my ps reservoir was NASTY!!!!
The wife cleaned n cleaned
Did u know there's a screen in there???
It smelled horrible
Not any more
Finally got one of these in
I might have a prob with the top gearbox line It's kinda loose in the fitting.
I also replaced the ps pump to reservoir hose. No pic of that yet.

I put about a gallon into the filter housing and a bunch more into the turbo feed hole in the oil cooler. I also pulled the little plug on the top of the oil rail and filled them,,,, before I buttoned it up. I had the wife under the truck with the Fumoto valve open while pouring through the oil filter,,, I put a gallon in, and after about 5 mins,,, she only got about 1/2 quart out.

No more pics tonight. I was thinking through my process n decided to go ahead n put the trans in so I could feel the clutch. I'm planning on ordering the slave cylinder from Tousley, and needed time for the shipping(if I need to order it). My headlights are in California right now and should be shipping back to me tomorrow.
But as for the clutch. It feels different. I remember the last time I needed to change the salve cylinder, the clutch felt like,,,, nothing. Empty pedal. The clutch now feels like it doesn't completely disengage. It takes about a third of the pedal before it starts to disengage. With the pedal down,, it feels like it should go down more. , it doesn't feel like the stock one. Does anyone else have a south bend clutch and noticed it feeling different? It'd suk to replace the slave cyl and have it feel the same. I should be starting it tomorrow. I will take n post a video of it. Hope it goes as planned.
I did get the trans n transfer case in and filled up. I'm gonna put some paint on it n put the skid plate on,,,, then the bottom is done. No pics of the trans install. I should've taken some, but I didn't,,, it's pretty straight forward.

Got the lower half done. I painted the inside of the torsion bars and the back of the axle yellow,,, Most repairs I have to do seem like they are at night. Last night when I got under there with a light,,, the oil pan lit up everything. The light reflected very well. I should b able to shine a light straight up at night and see everything.
I don't think the yellow will be visible standing outside the truck,,,, at least I hope not
I painted the outside of the torsion bars n the crossmember n skit plate blue. They match my centramatics
I went ahead n ordered the power steering line (gearbox to cooler) didn't want to take a chance on spraying fluid everywhere
I went ahead n modded up my stator. The fan clutch wire still hooks in it. It's plenty strong also
U know me,,,, couldn't resist
Now I'm gonna bounce over to the super duty section to finish the 04 to 06 front end conversion
