Calling all in Maryland...Emergency Wrench session!!!

[Maintain]

I think ditty said something like the afternoon. Justin is coming up early like 10... so I guess anytime after that.

Ditty says he'll shoot me a call this Friday, and you too Im sure.

Marty, Ditty..contact me before Sat if you guys need anything specific that you might not have, lost, or whatever. ie; drills, taps, etc. etc. I'll see what I can come up with.

[Ditty]

OK...so the Clutch install is going to take an extra few hrs. I got everything done except for the following:

Got to torque the front and rear driveshafts down.
Re-intall the flex-plate (do I REALLY need to do that? If not, someone call me in the morning!!!)
Re-install the shifter
Fix the tranny cooler line I broke...(b/c the fitting was sticking and didn't realize it)
Get the tranny x-member 100% back together. (I might have to drop the exhaust to do that)
And...put the battery cables back together.

They open at 0900 so I'm there at 0830 to make sure I can start right away.

I'll give everyone a call when I get it all buttoned up, so y'all know when I'm leaving!

[Lord Tauk]

Sounds good.

Wrap-Up:

Ok...so I finally finished the clutch on Saturday Morning.

It was a PITA!!! I did nearly all the work myself, with just a little help lining the tranny up from the guys at the hobby shop.

Saturday afternoon we all rolled to Marty's/Steve's to install the nitrous. +2 points to Marty and Dave for the IC pipe work.

We did everything expect for mounting the bottle...which I figured out today. I just used two of the bolts that held the plastic box behind the seat. It works pretty good...but there are only 2 bolts holding the bottle brackets. It doesn't move though.

We also took the Back seat out...which is STILL in the bed of my truck. I'll be dropping that off at a friend's house tomorrow. I also cleaned the HECK out of the truck. All I have to do now is vacuum it and wash out the BS from the bed. I must have taken out 100lbs of pure crap.

All in all...it's been a REALLY hard last four days. I DO NOT want to do it again any time soon!!!

[SMKSTAX]

Glad to see ya got the clutch done Ditty. How's it workin out for ya???

[Maintain]

Ditty are you kidding??? It was FUN!!!

Collectively we did a good job. Didn't have any foul ups besides a few weight saving holes drilled in the cab

At least I recovered with the nos button idea, as well as drilling/tapping the IC tube

[Ditty]

I'm not saying that it wasn't fun. I had a blast...it's just been a few hard days.

I vacuumed the truck today, and sprayed out the bed. (dropped the seat off at a friends...though it got wet last night...and it fooked..gonna have to get it shampooed.)

See my thread about the Nitrous!
