After lunch I went out and put the header panel, lights and grill on, then left for a while to go help my son hook up his wood stove in the house they just bought. Came back and went to mount the slave cylinder back to the trans and couldn't get the rod to push in. It is a brand new pre-bled master and slave that was put on when the clutch was done by the PO in February. The slave has a place for a bleeder, but just has a plug in it, so I just too it out to relieve the pressure, then removed the master and slave and bench bled the whole thing.....still no pedal. I messed with it for a while, then got aggravated and hungry, so I quit for tonight. I'm in no hurry to get it done now any way. The weather turned to crap here last night and we're getting the ice everyone else has been getting. Everything is covered in a 1/2" of ice.

Yep, 6 days, but I ordered a new chip, maybe that's the difference.....IDK. I was surprised I got it that fast.

What Alex is going thru doesn't surprise me, he jerked me off for a month. What happened to you surprised me, I don't know how a guy can have that big of *****!! What goes around comes around, he will get his.

I'm sure lots of people have had good luck with them and like them. I don't want to offend any of those people, or anyone else for that matter, so all I can really say is my experience with them left everything to be desired.

You got such a big heart Bill that Santa will not be able to get into your house to put presents under the tree. Your heart and the pile of chocolate chip cookies will take up all the room. LOL

The truck is looking good Bill! I really like the silver/gray with the red and that new DP is huge! That's one heck of a drain pipe you got there! I'm looking forward to seeing it running again and I can't wait to hear about how it works with the "ReBilld Custom Frankens-mission" in it. I'm betting that thing will tow a house now. Keep the pictures coming!
