Have the parts for a 700r4 swap already. If the th400 gives up the ghost, I'll just have to get a torque converter. Going thru all other fluids today.

Problem with the hubs is the lack of a jack here. I'm probably have the right socket already, just need a jack and stands. Thanks cucvrus for the offer, if I get a jack I'll take you up on it. Those are probably the only seals other than engine gaskets that haven't been replaced by yours truly...
Most of the time it was touching the oil pan. Drove through a few deep spots where it was up over the hood if I had stopped (actually passed too close to a parked car and pulled some water in.... when that Detroit stuttered I puckered hard). Most of the time was over the axles, never got water...
Treme/ Mid-City. My truck sat like your son's for the 3 hours on the sidewalk. Then I had to get back to Baton Rouge.... all the interstate ramps were blocked with abandoned cars. Ugh.

Dammit. I just did oil, grease chassis, and fuel filter on Friday. I'll have to see if I can find a place to drop the tranny pan. I'll order my gaskets for the diffs today.
Wheel bearing probably aren't gonna happen anytime soon though.

Define "everything". Right now my CUCV is doubling as my daily driver and I don't have access to my shop. Oh and just laid off.
It's been a week :)

New Orleans flooded this weekend for those of y'all who don't get the local news. I ended up driving thru a lot of it, spent maybe 6 hours in high water. Is there anything I should worry about besides cleaning off my radiator?
Was up to the bottom of the door for about 3 hours, drove through...
My stock 1028A1 doesn't clear 315/75/16 ATs. That's 34.6" diameter.
These trucks sit the same height at stock K30s up front. Top of axle to bottom of bumpstop bracket is ~9" stock. 35" tires won't clear without cutting.

Uncut, scrubs in any turn. In...
I sure hope there's no gas going to the motor!
Seriously though, check your glow plugs. You probably have several burned out, it's a simple resistance check with your ohm meter.
Sounds like you're cranking and cranking on it dumping a bunch of fuel into the cylinders. Then when it does...
Rick, I may be wrong but I believe the "ratchet" of the arm is actually the shift linkage moving on the tranny, not a function of the column.

Got my radiator in today. In fairly good shape, too. Question to the guys who have used aluminum radiators before, I have a slight bend in the radiator edge. I don't think it'll be an issue, what do you guys think?
This is my first stock replacement aluminum/plastic radiator install. I've...
Looks like I can get the same radiator from AutoZone (B850) for 20% off with free shipping using code "JUNE20" until the 26th. Total is $285.99 plus the free yeti mug. Pretty good deal, I just wanted to know if there was anything different about this vs. stock? I've currently got a big block...
