    Rebuilding after 15 years of storage

    You know all that we work on two trucks. Allways if we wait for parts switch we from one to the other. A general question: Is it just me who is too stupid to install these rubber bushings or is it the same for others? I have a press and still can't get them to fit properly. On the Chevy I...

    Yes i know this before and you see in our rebuild what you need to customize if you go this route. It is not a cheap, easy and fast solution. We will know if it is worth the money and effort when the truck is back on the road again.

    I have seen it in your build-thread. I knew before that no universalkit exists for the 4l80e, 6.2 Diesel and Np205. Thats why we gone with the cableshifting unit on the Np205 which work perfect. Unfortunately was the decision for the Lokar cableshifting unit to steering column a bad choise. A...

    You mean the markings? There is a TM which unfortunately not covers all. I searched on internet and guyfang helped me to choose a real existing marking of that time. I can give you my results. You can buy templates in the correct size and font but it is expensive. You can also make your own...

    Croat you should sent it by letter/post with a notification of deliver if they still dont answer. In Cermany this is "Einschreiben mit Rückschein" they have to sign that they got the letter und you got back an offical note with their sign. With this paper they cant say they didnt got it.

    Nevertheless such vendors are timeconsuming in getting your rights. It is good that they have their business in Germany. You have rights which they have to fullfill. I think you will get your money back, if they cant deliver. First they have their chance to fullfill the contract. Did they give...
