    Thanks. I find my english extremly poor, especially in terms of grammar and pronunciation. When i write, i always check the text several times before posting. I avoid conversations, which is somewhat difficult but possible in my job. It is also always funny when i have to call the dealers to ask...

    Perfectly expressed, only the last sentence doesn't really make sense in German. What did you actually want to say with “How do you like the new transmission line?”<- my translation tool translates it this way. I suspect that my English is also a bit “bumpy” at times

    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...

    What do you want to know? Where to find an original pintle hook? I think about international auctions. The original have for us no use as it will never got here roadlicence.

    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...

    We realized that we still have 3 sensor wires to bring into the cab for Dacota when we went through the engine compartment wiring. That's what happens when you take a break for several months while working.... We thought we were done with the cab wiring. We start again when we dismantle the...

    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.
