P.S. I ordered the Holy Grail of 700R4 swap parts off fleabay Saturday. The illusive TV Bracket. I had been watching it for a week or so at $95.00, the price had been lowered to $90.00, but in the process of the buy it now, apparently the seller lowered the price again to $85.00 right at the...
Thanks man. I guess I have learned a thing or two working on vehicles for 35 years. I'm just not used to Chevy's, my time in the trenches has all been Mercedes except for my own crap.
I was hoping no one was gonna tell me about all the pile on stuff. I have to replace the flywheel because of the bolt holes, found one at Saturn Surplus for $35 plus shipping. I have to do the rear main, its slinging oil all over and that is only about $40 bucks. I want to do the engine mounts...
This weekend I decided to get back on the CUCV project I started a while back.
The problem started about a year ago when my driveline vibration got drastically worse all of a sudden one day. Come to find out, the bolts holding the transmission to the engine had fallen out. I limped it to Lowes...
@cyclejay. Did you have Marietta radiator do the work? Just curious. I know we had discussed them a while ago. They are good people and have taken care of all my radiator needs for many years.
@iluvbudwsr. First of all, I love me some Bud Select 99, so we should get along just fine. Second. The adjusters are easy to replace just DON'T BUY THEM AT THE AUTO PARTS STORE. They are CRAP. Look in the TM and get the GM part number for the plastic nut-sert. Go to the dealer and spend about...

@chief1983: I am sooooo jealous. I want one of the grill covers really bad. I don't really need it here in Georgia, but I sure do want it. I also want a set of Jatonka canvas seat covers for my 1008. Anyway, today I performed the 00,000 mile PM service. Yes, she turned over 100K on Saturday. Did...
I did the doghead starter relay mod today. Also, thanks to a thread started by sharecropper, I discovered that these trucks have an under dash light. A used bulb and let there be light. My next mod will be a real dome light from my parts donor civi truck complete with door jamb switches.
The other day I took the instrument cluster out, completely disassembled it and cleaned everything. I painted the inside of the housing (only the part where the speedo and fuel gauge are) with chrome paint per recommendation from another member. I installed the plastic lens from a parts truck...
