    Labor for Brakes

    Good you are doing it, the 1009 is just a 1/2-3/4 ton brake setup and pretty easy. You should replace the 3 rubber brake hoses also. If you havent done rear drum brakes before you may want to take pictures of how the springs are aranged on the shoes. also look at it before you take it...

    Where can i find a manual flywheel?

    I had two like new 1992 6.5 flywheels laying around so I bolted one up for my 465 swap, - I got sidetracked, will be a few more weeks before I run it to see if it works or if it goes nuclear. Edit; It is a solid flywheel, You def dont want one of the later 6.5 dual mass flywheels.

    Shop estimates have a bad habit of doubling or more after they have somebodys stuff all taken apart on the rack and your stuck and they need to make their boat and rv and harley payments

    Another start relay option

    The 12V refers to the coil in it that activates the relay, the load side transmits the 24V and lt shouldnt care about 12 or 24 volts- 24v should actually be easier on the relay than 12.

    what do you think

    I like the visor and the non standard hood. Good to hear your back to work soon. Im in a union, airline mechanic. Still it is up to the company whether they are going to treat and pay us well. The company says the **** with us it doesnt matter that we have a union. My buddy across town...

    To Rebuild or not to Rebuild TH400

    Well maybe that sounds good but I bet anywhere within a hundred miles of where i live calling the cops and trying to chitchat about anything will end up unpleasant for you.

    To Rebuild or not to Rebuild TH400

    One guy I work with used to work at a transmission shop and he said most of those places run it like its a license to steal. They might use $200-$400 in parts and 4 hours total and charge $2300. Or they find a easy fix and use $ 0 in parts and still charge $2300. Hmm maybe I will start...
