Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) Where to fix your truck when you don't have a garage

[RyanStewart]

Anybody who lives or has lived in an apartment have any ideas on where I could find a place to work on my truck? The rear main seal leak its had for years seems to have turned a corner and I'm down to 500 - 1000 miles per quart. I'll probably change the clutch too while I'm at it, that's IF I can find a place to do the work.



I just moved to New York and I don't know that many people here yet, let alone someone with a garage I can borrow. I've thought about renting a storage unit for a month and doing it there, but would they let me? Anybody have any ideas?

sucks, been there, try to find a local 4x4 club and ask if you can rent a dry spot from a member.

I'm 60 miles north of the city if you can hold off until July you can do it at my place and I might even be able to lend a hand. You can walk to the metro north station from my house if you want to commute back and forth

 

[RyanStewart]

Thats a hell of a generous offer, thanks! I might take you up on that. July is even a little sooner than I planned on fixing it, I don't drive the truck much right now so I'm not in any hurry.

Let me know. All it is is a gravel spot in the driveway. I can supply electric, transmission jack and air and a few sheets of plywood to lie on. depending when you want to do it I may be able to help you lift the transmission in and out other than that your own your own.....

 

[RyanStewart]

Gravel spot is fine, it beats the heck out of trying to do it in a Wal Mart parking lot and getting chased away by security. transmission jack is even better, I've been trying to figure out where I would rent one. Thanks again!!

Your spot should be ready by the end of next week

 

[RyanStewart]

Hahah, thanks man! I was thinking I ought to send you a PM or something soon and see if the offer was still valid. I won't be ready for another month or two though. I hope Aug or Sept sometime will still be ok. Thanks again!
