Poured a can of sea foam in the brake vacuum line while running the engine. turned it off when it about died. Letting it soak till morning then starting her up. Also found out what T case that I have, dhd 241 and it leaks a little. Got to figure out where? Looks like the side plate.

I have been soaking it with chems overnight, so, head out later, and see if it is feeling any more cooperative.
Ever figure things out?

A friend new a guy that had an intake sitting on the shelf, for 25 bucks. Bought that, and swapped 'em out. The intake really needed to be resealed anyway..... I just didn't really want to do it RIGHT THEN..... BUt, it's back together, and moves down the road under it's own power again. Actually runs pretty good for 270,000 miles on the original engine and trans....... Of course, there isn't much body left...... (michigan winters took their toll.)

Pressed bearings onto the truetrac. Hope to get it in this weekend since we got snow on the ground and 1 wheel drive isn't cutting it.

Started her up this morning after letting a can of sea foam soak over night in here intake and cylinders. Smoked out the neighborhood. But sadly Going to have to put this truck away for the winter. Expecting our first snow tomorrow and with it the salt. Have to get my other truck ready for the winter. 97 z71 . Its already suffering from the salt belt disease.
