Oh yeah, you need to remove your driver side battery, tray and possibly the air cleaner assembly to access these bolts unless you have tiny woman hands!

 

Thanks!!!!!! I would never have figured that one out.

 

It's in the instructions!

 

There are instructions ? I missed that.

 

Sorry you missed the instructions, but glad you got it sorted! One thing I did notice is that you appear to have not installed the extra heatshrink that is used as an addtional layer of protection under the radiator core supports. This is hardly essential, but does help prevent chaffing due to the sharp edges under that.

Thanks for the business!

 

Thank you! I will add the heat shrink and also try and find those instructions.

 

Heat shrink for sure!

 

Tomorrow I am rebuilding the front and rear drivelines and doing the CCV mod, I got all my u joints, double cardan knuckle and 1" heater hose ready to roll.

 

Not today, but recently, I put a zerk in the lower passenger side ball joint.

It's the one that started making noise so I figured since it wasn't loose, I'd try this first. It took a day or so for grease work work in but it's silent now. I'll do the drivers side soon. Not sure how much more life it'll have, but I hope I caught it before the knuckle completly wore out the cup.

Changed the oil the other day too. Oh, and the inline toilet paper trans filter. Not sure it had ever been done, and it was nasty. Had it sitting here for a year before I remembered.

Not very exciting, I know.

She still runs like a bat out of hell though!

 

That's exciting compared to what I did yesterday.
I rotated my tires and checked all the caliper slide pins.

 

Damn double cardans are hell! Sweating like a slave but got it all disassembled.

I watched my wife finish up the installation of the new Torklift SuperHitch.





She's a keeper!

 

Awesome ! My wife hates grease under her fingernails ......

 

I ordered up a set of XRF ball joints and 2 sets of seals. I think next week I'll order a pair of U-joints and unit bearings. Some time between now and spring I plan on going through my front end.
