What other breathers would need done besides rear? I thought front diff one was up in engine compartment and wasnt sure if tranny or tcase had breathers. Im planning on doing the rear one eventually just for peace of mind.

 

Matt if im able to make it i could be there earlier if needed and like you said start some of the small stuff first.

 

If you wanted to order the parts from Ourisman we could get that done real easy John...I posted the parts numbers a page or so back.

I wanted to give the option of anyone showing up at 0900 in case they wanted to...I will be getting home around 0645 since I am at the firehouse Friday night so you guys could honestly come over around then if you really wanted to since it looks like we have a good amount of mods to get done.

I have space for one vehicle in my garage and probably 4 in the driveway and pretty much unlimited out on the street. My driveway is slightly inclined so I think anyone doing suspension stuff (me, anyone else?) could do it in the garage then the smaller stuff could be done in the driveway.

Matt

 

Yeah i may do that or call and ask price and see if camelback is cheaper and order from them. If anybody else needs to order parts online it may be cheaper to do a group order to save on shipping.

 

I want to say it was like $15-20 for both parts from Ourisman btw.

Matt

 

I'd join your guys mod day but I'll be out of town that weekend.

I may need some of your guys help over the summer or sometime though. I'm seriously considering getting a rear plate bumper soon. They're just so expensive

 

Tranny...

 

There always is a 'tool bitch' "Hand me the pickle fork!"

 

Maybe. Should consider what other good eats are in the area. I promised the family 'ribs' every saturday. They look foreword to it. No stress though. Play it by ear.

 

Famous Dave's and Willard's BBQ are about 5-10 min from my house off of 50. We also have typical fast food, Red Robin, Chipotle, Five Guys, Panera, Manhattan Pizza, Ruby Tuesday's, Moe's, Ford's Fish Shack, BWF, Glory Day's, Subway, Jersey Mike's, all within 10 min.

There are others but all I can think of right now.

Matt

 

Famous Daves could work. Moes and Fords Fish I have never eaten at. Thse could be interesting also.

 

Been to the Famous Dave's three or four times, it's pretty good eats.

Moe's is good. I recommend the Chicken Club quesadilla.

Ford's is also good. Right next door to Moe's. Usual wait of an hour or hour and a half on Friday night's (and I would assume Saturday nights, etc)

How many parts would be needed for the ULTRA mod Frogsauce did?

2 Unions? 4? 5?

2 breathers? 4? 5?

Worst case, I'll get all the cable run in the appropriate locations and put the proper fittings on later.

 

Do the manuals have a breather as well? I'll have to go under there this weekend and look around. If so that one may be a good candidate to do.

 

Look at the link in frogsauces Sig. There is a link to another thread with diagrams in it. From what I read, I am under the impression only autos have that one. I could be mistaken though

 

I think he has sigs turned off

I prefer welding for dummies. The big pictures make it so easy to learn!
