sweet. Had the wife help me run the jack on my front diff regear. I said "go slow when the diff is close." She heard, "go slow." So she took her freakin time getting the jack in place as I am trying to balance the diff AND run the front bolt in place to hold it.

 

no lie.

the pan is on.

i can barely move my arms.

 

Yeah!!!!

 

pics coming.

a few pointers.

1) FIPG is a PITA....when squeezing hard enough, it will come out the other end....words to live by.

2)ya need a helper....someone to hand you bolts......you need to keep exchanging a small extension, a long extension...bolt..bolt...wrench....I couldn't have done it without you Joe....forever this was the biggest help by far....good job.

3) I don't think i would recommend this at all to anyone. getting a 5mm bead of FIPG is a joke. trying to reach all the way to the back of the pan, or block, or both, is not impossible (because i did it) but stupid as all hell.

4)i feel real old

 

It's the home stretch now man!

 

Tell us how you feel tomorrow...

The rest is cake work compared to this.

 

steering dampener in the way



lots of paint damage



even with a towel for padding



pan finally sitting level after that final adjustment of the diff



oil strainer back in place and torqued snug



and there ya have it



FIPG and crud....not a good time to be running low on orange stuff

 

next up is to put that plug back on the front of the transmission that i flashed a pic of........then it's time to put the diff back together.

 

time to have about 10 smokes and stare at my truck

 

and seriously, if the friggin thing leaks.....it's worth having someone else do.....

 

Little bit of dirt won't hurt...I bet you fell a whole lot better having this done though.

 

OH



MY




GOD!



was the reaction when i walked in the house. today i became a man...............hahahahaha.

no, the day i got that crankshaft bolt of was the day.

 

and if you ever happen to see my oilpan, it's because you walked in front of me, or i drove up on top of your hood.....so at this point i'm not too worried about it.

 

nice man. make sure you have your BFH ready for the diff.

 

where the HELL have you been?

thought you got dead or something.

i was so dang nervous because of the bitch of a time you had with the pan....but in the same turn, i knew you got your's on, which meant it was possible...... i just didn't want to jack up the motor.

 

BFH standing by.

 

Nice work. The whiff hates throwing my grimy clothes in the wash when I get done working under my rig. She told me once to take it to work and wash it there.


Um, is that a spongebob blanket? I'm not judging, I'm not judging.

 

No it's not a blanket.....It's a sleeping bag, get it right!!!

 

Good job on the pan buddy, keep the progress coming & you'll be done in no time!

 

Sorry Lumpy, thats WAY more manly!
