I was wandering if were gonna have the search feature for the classifieds like the old classifieds did. [thumbzup]

Very Nice[thumbzup]

No problem thats the way it is supposed to be The pan actually snugs up to it and keeps it from falling out.:)

Are you a professional comedian?[thumbzup]

:ditto:

torque to spec and don't overtighten as this will cut the gasket and you have the same problem>2cents

It would have been hard to not pull him from his truck and beat the **** out of him not for the damage but just for being a dumbazz! GOOD LUCK

As long as you have the pan off go ahead and pull the caps and look at the bearings- I would agree with a stuck injector as they are really loud. Looks like a good score

Definately something you want professionally done. It sounds like youve made up your mind to do it yourself regardless. GOOD LUCK! just remember if or when it comes apart on you it's gonna cost you alot more than what you could have had one custom made for- This is 25 years in auto-truck repair...

Very nice- thanks for sharing:beer:

I'm wandering about ODIron myself-haven't been able to log in there in a few weeks. Seems like if they are still in business they don't want to be bothered with selling parts. And dito on the tech manuals and the search feature. CT

If thats the truck you purchased I hope youre not planning on parting it out but its yours. :razz:

IF I were you Id definately put a clutch on it. Yeah its plenty driveable like it is but not the way it was intended. Might be a little hard to keep warm in the winter. I wander if it was having an over heating problem or something. You may want to check and see if it has a thermostat in it...
