Mine doesn’t...

I would at least pull it out and look at it. Mine locked up going down the road and it didn’t even make noise. If you take it off you will likely need a new seal even if you don’t replace the pump.

Swapped the trans in my 923a2 today. Owned this truck for 7 days before the trans went south. First automatic I ever owned and will probably be the last. Hopefully it will sell quick...

This used to be atf. It smells as good as it looks. Haven’t tasted it yet.

I finally added up the cost of everything. The whole job cost $2800. A lot of money but still cheaper than a rebuilt Allison. $1550 of it was trans, bell housing, clutch, flywheel, and shifter. The fancy u joint was $300. The rest was $20 here and $100 there. The small stuff adds up quick. All...

I like that idea. I’ll call the junkyard tomorrow and see if they have one. I hate leaks. It’s usually harder to clean up the mess than it is to actually fix it

You make a good point! And yeah it sure isn’t fun working out in this heat. A big shop with ac would be nice....

My fan clutch started making noise when freewheeling so I took it off and apart. The big bearing is shot and one little one is close. Ordered 3 new bearings and a new friction disc. Also ordered a front crank seal so I got the old one out. If this thing doesn’t quit having problems it’s gonna be...

At least the block doesn’t have to come out to fix them. Gotta look at the bright side 🤷‍♂️

I think it happens because these trucks sit for long periods and likely never had any sca additives. 855s were excellent engines in civilian trucks.

Can you not put the heads on and then screw the studs in the same as bolts...? That’s the only way I’ve ever done it (on other engines)

Thank you!

Haha awesome thank you! I’ve probably watched it 50 times for the same reason.

Thanks. Yes I put a turbo on it with 5” down pipe and a 6” stack. It’s loud but not “too” loud.

Thanks guys. It’s like a whole new truck now. Definitely worth the work.

Got about 40 miles on it so far with no issues. I love it. Gonna take some practice though. Today was my first time ever really driving a big trans.

If nothing flies apart tomorrow, this project is done. A little over 3 months of work. I didn’t keep track of the hours but it was a lot. Fairly straightforward job and not nearly as difficult as I expected.

Got my clutch done today minus paint. Ready for a test drive tomorrow. I’ll try to get a decent video.

Finally got my driveshaft in with the spacer and drove it around the yard a little. I took a short, crappy video but it’s better than no video.
