NW WA Meet / BS Thread

If my lift wasn’t taken up right now I’d offer to do it for less than whatever Mule would charge

 

Mule is like $280 OTD

 

Dude for 280 bucks get a harbor freight cut off wheel some pads a can of spray paint and a 125 welder too.

 

When does your lift open up? I've got the pre-cut plates. I've never welded before and don't think my truck frame is the best place to start haha

 

@Usethe2nd ever worked on a mid 80s Chevy dumptruck? The like Chevy C70 think they are called. Bit diesel engine with 10 speed transmission.

Got one in my back yard that's stuck in reverse. Clutch in it'll start fine but in neutral on the shifter stiff goes in reverse. Put it in any gear and it won't move and dies like it's in two gears (reverse and a forward).

Leaning towards it being a broken....man name escape me...part that engages each gear

 

depends on when my brother gets his drive lines back from Nw drivline for his Allison conversion, they’ve already fucked him once

 

Yep, can you feel the gears engage properly?

 

It feels like it for 3-4-5. First goes in ok but is a bit odd to get out. Like you can't just push straight forward and have to push the stick towards the passenger then push up.

It's not mine but a contractors. Was just taking a look. They also said it was low on fluid and filled the damn thing to the brim. Like all the way to the top of the shifter. Otherwise I'd just pull the top off and look but I'm not draining oil and crap too

 

Ya you’ll have to pull the shifter off, it’s going to probably be a shift rail or fork that’s busted. If you know what trans it it you could narrow the issue down to either a rail or fork by having a exploded view and know what gears you can and can’t engage

either that or the gears on the main shaft or counter shaft are screwed up

 

I pulled the shifter off just not the part right below it that has the forks. It's as far as I'm going since it'll have to get taken to a shop anyways. I looked for the trans tag but a few years of cakes on dort made me stop lol.

Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something stupid. Figured shift rail or the slider between gears. But not my problem anymore

 

Those are the best types of problems

 

Especially since it's still got a load of dirt it in!

 

True...but I ain't stacking dimes

Edit - and time is money

 

Paint makes me the welder I ain't

 

you forgot the grinder part...

 

I'd use alot of paint if you can't guess

 

40grit flap disc is a magic eraser

 

They’ll cover up a lot of globs

i prefer stacking dimes though

 

Apparently "Bells palsy".

"Also called: idiopathic facial paralysis.

Sudden weakness in the muscles on one half of the face.
Bell's palsy may be a reaction to a viral infection. It rarely occurs more than once.

Rare:

• Fewer than 200,000 US cases per year
• Treatable by a medical professional
• Requires a medical diagnosis
• Lab tests or imaging often required
• Short-term: resolves within days to weeks
• Critical: needs emergency care"

When I smile only one side smiles, or raise my eyebrows, only one side raises, and when I close my eyes, only one side fully closes. Doctors really have no clue what causes it specifically, but it's typically a reaction your body has after fighting viral infection, or can be exacerbated by hypertension/stress and a few other things.





I thought I was having a stroke. But at the time I went to the doctor finally the next evenig, it was pretty clear I wasn't having a stroke. If it had been a stroke I'd be brain dead or keeled over before I went to work last Monday morning.

 

Fuck bud if you think you're stroking out don't wait. Stroke centers have great results for recovery now.

Though when you have a stroke the chances of self diagnoses is slim and denying one is a symptom of one too
