I don't recall the name of the person i spoke with a few days ago but it was a Lady.
The email tonight came from Halie.
Too bad John doesn't know about how bad the experience has been for weeks now with this order. I did everything right as a customer, I ordered..... after a week I submitted a...
The poor service from TNJ just hasn't stopped.
My original order was on 7/30/12. After not hearing anything about it I sent them a email inquiry and a phone call on 8/7/12.
I didnt have any response to either attempt so I called again 3 days later on the 8/10.
Finally i spoke with someone...
WOW.... After last weeks stress about ordering a second rear main because i forgot about the TNJ Murry order I originally placed I tried to contact them.
I called the number and left a message. Sent a email with their "contact us" form and I never got a response form either one.
I called...
it's just the neglect form the previous owners. All that bad fuel and sitting took out the HH in the beginning and flooded the CC. Which in turn leaked out the rear main soaking the clutch.
It was more of a chain reaction affect than the truck being a PITA. But it does seem that way.
Today I was ready to just puke I was so upset. In today's mail my Speedi-sleeve arrived. Thats the good thing, however I started looking around for my rear main seal I ordered. I know I ordered it but I don't remember seeing it. What the ... GRRRR. So I go to my computer to look thru all my...
I got a funny one. Why doesn't the parts list for the trans exploded view show all the items called out in the pic?
I don't know if the images will show but the it's TM9-2320-209-20P pdf page 222 and 224
The seal is out and the inner black line around the crank has a score mark that you can feel. I dont know if there is a allowable tolerance or not but i now need to order a speedi-seal i believe.
i am glad i jumped the gun and ordered a normal rear main seal.
Also noticed the crank is marked...
I don't think mine has a retainer but i will snap a pic and get back to you.
btw... anyone know where i can get one of these caps from the transmission? The part with the arrow pointing at it i noticed is cracked in 2 places.
DH,
Do you torque them or loctite or both? Also what is the easiest way to remove the rear main seal and pilot bushing?
Clinto, thanks for the link.
While it's disassembled:
Machine flywheel
Replace rear main seal and inspect crank for groove (use speedi sleeve if necessary)
Replace...
just got back form having the flywheel done:mrgreen: but he couldnt do the pressure plate :cry:.
so has anyone ever disassembled a pressure plate to resurface it? i will give it a go but i was looking for any torque specs for reassembling it.
on another note, flywheel bolts should be replaced...
Its all apart. No problems thank God... That flywheel is one heavy bastard. Bringing the parts to the machine shop tomorrow. I was debating doing the refinishing myself on my Bridgeport since i have a rotary table but i think it wouldn't turn out as good. I have parts shipping in from all over...
i know this is last minute but dose anyone have a p/n list that i can bring with me tomorrow? or are the bearings and seals something i can pick up at napa.
tomorrow i am heading to the swapmeet in whare NH. Hopefully i can find one and all the parts..
btw your scaring me with the rear main seal. never did one.. and wouldnt know where it the tm's to find it
