San Angelo TW Chapter

Yes sir. Putting my feelers out

 

Knew i recognized that truck!

 

No worries.

 

the fluid looked like that in my colorado, it had a rough life before i got it.
i changed with some high mileage valvolene i think and its been good for the last 30k+miles
changed, ran, changed again, and been running it since.

 

I have 12qt of AMSOIL coming today and will be doing a full DIY flush on Saturday.

 

Could anyone recommend a machine shop in Angelo?

 

we use texas tank car. $85/hr tho.
what are you needing done?

 

Ready for the mess

 

I need hubs pressed for my 4WD conversion and a driveshaft cut.

 

for the driveshaft, b&w truck and trailer. they should be able to cut and rebalance. they can probably do the hubs too

 

Any one down for a meet up next Saturday?

 

I’m down but I work 1100-2230 that day.

 

After the trans flush the Tacoma is running cooler and better than ever!

 

@jadesparrow you down for a 0900 meet at home depot on Saturday?

 

So can you guess who has a stretched trans pan drain bolt causing to leak and knows it’s gonna snap the minut they try to remove it? This guy!

 

Dislike.. you sure its not a crush washer thats causing it to leak?

If you didnt replace that, that could be whats causing the issue

 

I tried to slowly back the bolt out it spun a bit but didn’t move an inch down.

 

Shit.. thats not good.. any idea what the plan of attack is to get it out?

 

gonna try and pull it till it snaps or comes out. if it breaks drop the pan again and either thread it out the top or drill it out. the pan is steel and the bolt aluminum so the threads just kept walking up the tread channel as the bolt stayed and the bottom of the pan. wasn't cross threaded i know that for a fact. i have a new bolt that will be in tomorrow. empty pan fluid, replace bolt, refill pan. new fluid too so i should be good on how much is in there. bought two quarts just in case.

 

Sounds like a good way to do it.. keep us posted on how it goes
