Actually this would be more my style. http://classiccars.com/listings/view/774694/1966-chevrolet-nova-for-sale-in-lithia-springs-georgia-30122Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Hopefully then the drama is over for a while.
true. Probably be head gaskets next time...
I just don't want to wind up missing a digit or limb. I can sometimes get in a hurry to get results.
TRN.... if blowing them up eased the frustration, I'd have lit a fuse under Patch this weekend LoL I have just decided to face the fact I broke the np 205 somehow before I killed the auto tranny. I'd agree with Ken...most OEM lift pumps have a anti drain back feature. It's likely something simple, since it runs fine once started.
As I said, you brute.I push started a semi with mine once, 80k, filled with Budwiser.
I had 4 of those 11k anhydrous wagons behind it. It was having some traction issues on pavement. So I pulled it back into 4high and leaned on the throttle. Nothing I haven't done many times in the past...but I guess since I turned the pump up considerably, the extra power/torque was too much. When it shifted into second gear it made a terrible noise, jumped out of 4x4 and started smoking the tires. I let off tugged it back into 4x4 and towed the wagons to the farm. But it's now making loud howling noises, there were chunks of gear in the oil and well yah...broke. My guess the case stretched....
So, Bobby...being the calculating trained warrior NCO that you are. Take the appropriate action, Execute!
your standard grunt level CQB is just putting rounds and rounds on scary stuff till it stops scaring you!
Yep, Don is correct. If keeping the same gears you need to do 2 things though. Set bearing preload (new bearings) and check pattern. Both are easy to adjust as the 11.5 AAM has nuts for adjusting the carrier.However I would do the pinion bearings too since you have it apart. You might be OK there but the nut is a bare and you set the preload.
