well... found out today that the vacuum pump had been capped off and disconnected from the valve on the IP. Which it also seems that the transmission hose going from the hard line to the IP was also disconnected. Have no idea why someone disconnected it though, unless the vacuum module on the...

Thanks for the info FLU farm [thumbzup] From what I was able to find, the TH400 has a pan with 13 bolts and it looks like this: And the transmission pan on our truck looks exactly like this gasket, and also has 13 bolts. So... why would someone just disconnect the vacuum line?? Could the...

Is there a number or some sure way to ID the transmission?

As far as I know it is stock, it only shifts up to 3rd gear. I know it doesn't like to go over 55mph. It will go a bit more, but it drives best at 55mph. The engine and transmission have been apart, but if it was by some one or the military depot, I do not know.

hum, ok. I'll adjust mine after I get it back up to running shape. I wonder how it worked before without the vacuum even being connected? It seemed to shift ok and such...

ok, well if I have to adjust the shift points, I know how to do that now. So the line from the vacuum pump should be connected to the IP valve? Then down the transmission? The inlet connection on this vacuum pump was capped... nothing was connected to it :shrugs: It seems to work though, just...

Question: the "vacuum modulator" (I think its called) which is the gear driven device that goes into the block behind the intake manifold, which I think can be adjusted to change your shift points... It has one intake port connection for a hose... But that port has a vacuum cap on it (but the...

I finally took my thermostat housing apart today, found an ac delco 14077122, which is a highflow... but either 190 or 195 degrees... depending on which website you look it up on. I found and ordered the Robert Shaw 370-180 that you suggested, seems a lot of people use it in older vehicles. I...

Yeah, since I found the tops, I decided to go ahead and put the rods in and the rocker arms on. Got it all torqued down. Moving onto the valve covers and whatever else I can get done today... had to order a new oil cooler line as the one that was on it was rubbing the firewall and it had rubbed...

Ok... I had kind of figured this out, but I just came across this diagram which seems to say the same thing. Some rods (apparently older models) "top end" are not "copper" colored, but instead are grey colored... guess some genius figured grey was kind of dumb seeing that it the color of...

well, looking up a rod on rockauto... on the one they show one end is copped colored... a lot of good that does as if these rods were colored like that, it soon wore off after first running, as both ends are just steel colored.... why couldn't they just do something simple, like make a...

of course I didn't throw them in a pile... I made two piles :mrgreen:... (or rather two zip lock bags)... one for drivers side and the other for passengers side I did separate and label each of the rocker arm assemblies though... guess that doesn't help much since I didn't keep my rods in...

ok...... i'm starting to think the TMs would make a bad trivia game... In TM 9-2815-237-34 section 2-41 (pg 219 of the pdf file). ENGINE ASSEMBLY FROM SUBASSEMBLIES Rocker Arm Shaft and Pushrods It states: What "marked ends" ??? aua I'm looking at these rods, and both ends look exactly...

Yeah I damaged the first gasket when I started to install the drivers side head. It was just some small "scratches" but I wasn't going to take the chance, i removed it and put it back into its packaging. I went and bought another new fel-pro head gasket to replace it. Second attempt on the...

can't help it... I like to read :mrgreen: But I hope You're right

Got both heads torqued, tried the best I could do to get 1/4 turn on each bolt... still don't like that. Even more so when I read on another site that "...TTY head bolts are supposed to be turned on the final round, in one smooth continuous motion otherwise they will not stretch evenly..." If I...

Well, I was torquing the 3rd round a few min ago on the passengers side head which I just got installed, *haven't* done the 3rd round on the drivers side yet. I marked all the bolts so I could watch how far they turned. I found that it took 85 ft lb to turn the #1 bolt 1/4" of a turn. The next...

Well, got the other motor mount pulled. Then I pulled the transmission mount. The transmission mount is shot, you can pull off chucks of rubber with your fingers. It feels like it got oil or maybe there is a small transmission leak somewhere, and fluid got on the rubber and turned it mushy. I...

Just ordered a set of energy suspension from Amazon, supposed to be here wednesday. The autozone nearest me would have to order them to, still wouldn't be in until next week, so I just decided to order them from amazon and save a trip to town. bad or not, going to replace them anyway as...
