Mmmmm.... I can see that. Parts recovery, sworn statements, keeping the true colors of the steel soldiers brotherhood of courtesy, helping and honesty... I must have been sleeping again. How could I be of any assistance...?

The reason for the separate thread is cause of all the BS on this one was clouding the parts..........the other thread is STRICTLY for PARTS......NO BS so as to not clutter it up.....makes it easy to find what someone is listing to bring down.

The parts list was moved to the correct thread to keep this thread from getting cluttered...

Lol! Seriously, I need to get moving on the engine swap in the M109. Going to pickup the LDS next Sat, so I need to pull the current engine this weekend or next week after work.

 

[swbradley1]

Are you pulling it as a power pack or separating and taking it out that way? Gimpy and I did the power pack removal. Faster but we put the engine back in by itself. Transmission install took longer than pulling and installing everything. Just not our day....

 

[Ferroequinologist]

Well, the transfer needs to be replaced as well, been popping out of high for 3 or 4 years now. I have another transmission and NOS transfer to go in. I need to reuse the bellhousing on the LDT though, so I'll have to break the transmission and engine apart when it comes out anyway. I just hope the clutch is ok, I don't have a spare one handy. I also wanted to install the backup light switch upgrade to the transmission I have out already, but not sure I can get it in time.

 

[Stretch44875]

Wonder why you don't have a spare clutch.

 

[gungearz]

Alls you need a clutch for is to stop and go... One clutch should last the lifetime of a truck.

 

[212sparky]

Just put an automatic in the truck.

 

[gungearz]

Is anybody ready yet...? This might be the most memorable haspin rally yet. Hey sparky, did you ever figure anything out on the port-a-john...? My girls were just asking as we were having our monthly haspin meeting...

 

[212sparky]

No not yet. I was in get ready for Florida mode. Now that I am back I am in Work like crazy and get ready for haspin and fix my truck.

 

[212sparky]

oh yeah what is the count at?

 

[EMD567]

The Long Easy is basically ready to go- just check the fluids, kick the tires, add two batteries, and away we go. If I have time, I will do the dual feed mod, but I don't think it will happen this trip.
The M37 is another story- It needs a steam bath, and then a complete brake job- lines, shoes. I also need to wire the brake lights, and I really need to pull the axles down and check the bearings and seals.
Only 5 weeks to go....

Another cucv. I think they are going to rise up and go against the big trucks. Is Seven going to be back from his tour to join us?

 

[Durango_USMC]

Well Sparky, dont count on my CUCV rising up anytime soon lol. But looks like Im doing an alternator rebuild on Tuesday. Maybe Ill get lucky and itll solve the electrical issue.
