1st Gen Lunchtable Thread - General Discussion

I guess I'm just trying to remember if we left my torque converter on the truck. I can't for the life of me remember a torque converter being on the bench at the transmission shop where the input shaft swap occurred.

The donor trans torque converter was still attached to the engine because we removed the engine/trans/tcase all at once. But assuming it's impossible to remove the transmission on the vehicle without unbolting the flex plate from the torque converter then I'm not sure where the torque converter went. I really don't remember filling a tc with fluid or installing one.

 

Family is good. Still hardly sleeping.

 

Yeah, its rough that first week home. Round the clock focusing on keeping the little one going. I remember my wife would literally pass out while nursing she was so tired. Oh and wait for that first streamer to hit ya in mid diaper change... lol. That's always fun.

EDIT: Handsome little dude. Congrats again.

 

you can technically remove the engine with the torque converter still attached if you slide it of the trans gingerly.. but never want to reinstall that way unless you want to break the trans pump

 

Didn't realize you brought it out as a complete unit. I only know what I picked up from Tim's vids, hence the reason for the q's. I could be wrong but you definitely do not mix torque converters. At least that is what I took away from some of Tyler's posts re: his TC experience.

 

his converter was warped. i believe he has the TC from the 2wd trans in his truck right now

 

Cool. Thanks for clarifying that one.

 

Dang he came out with a full head of hair haha

We're 2 years in and only recently (like maybe two months ago) did she start sleeping all through the night most nights. But you get used to it...mostly

It's so amazing when you're actually able to sleep all night uninterrupted again though

 

Oh that's just the donor truck with a seized motor. I'm thinking we removed the trans off my 04 somehow without removing the TC at all. I could be wrong. Just can't remember filling up the torque converter or reinstalling it. I could ask my buddy that assisted but we aren't exactly on speaking terms anymore.

 

Its even more amazing and so gratifying when you don't have to worry about diapers/pull ups anymore.

 

i'll take a pair of prerunner spindles as payment

 

Yeah... we're beginning potty training so don't remind me, investing in some good mattress covers for the crib soon

 

Yeah hes got a ton of hair lol. I guess its true, the more heart burn the mom has the more hair the baby has.

because my wife was having bad heart burn

 

He can drop them off at my house

thats what i mean

 

That's what were told as well cause my wife had real bad heartburn, but daughter was born with hardly any hair so who knows

 

hahaha yeah, those are staying put. Need a couple of ADD hubs with part of the bearing stuck on? lol

 

hmm?

 

What’s it mean when they’re just sick and miserable 24/7
