[Proram]

way to go!!! on the runs that is (not the breaking)--- when you put it in gear does the engine lug ever so slightly and if there's a slight grinding noise I'd say it's the output--chris

 

[83 crew cab]

well it looks like its the input into the transmission or the torque converter becouse the converter is stuck in the transmission



thanks guys I am realy happy with the truck so far



Scott you sure do will have to see what it cost to put it back for muncie or not

 

[csutton7]

ouch!!!!... ... ... ..... chris

 

[bighammer]

Tough time to have to mess with it. (I'm sure it would be more fun finding out what it will do on the track, rather than to itself )



Hope the setback is minor and we'll get to see it at Muncie.

Scott

(how'd ya finnaly get the conv. out?)

 

[83 crew cab]

George:

It was good to see you and the family in Bowling Green. That sure is a pretty , purple converter. What I said at the race in BG, when you get the "red raider" up and runnin , bring it down to Georgia and let Jeff tune it on the dyno. I don't know anybody better. Jeff needs somebody to run against and I know he'll help. Who knows, you might even install some "Pro Flows" and get up around the 700 mark. It'll be fun anyway. You got my number. Let us know.

That's some good breakage! Was it a billet input shaft?



Matt

 

[83 crew cab]

[Proram]

Converter ok George?

 

[83 crew cab]

[Proram]

Got fingers crossed all is well and good for ya.
