His work

 

What’s it mean if they spell it wrong

 

We'll see. It's definitely coming together quick.

I was going over that transmission a bit. What little fluid that was left after they drained it, it's FRESH. I mean nice and pink. The transfer case adaptor rear oil seal looks clean and fresh. Will probably still change it but this thing was most likely serviced recently. Seriously lucked out.

 

Altima owners may have a little crack, as a treat

 

Well shit that's good to hear.

So it'll be smooth sailing for ya.

You switch those e-torx bolts on the front diff to metric?

 

haha I'm sure you have plenty of stories from finance

 

We will figure that out when there's pics

 

My tundra was the exact same way

Except it wasnt

 

FYI driveshaft spacers exist for our trucks

 

Thx.

Absolutely swapped out those facepalm e-torx bolts. BelMetric FTW.

I'm still going to need advice/heavy research on the torque converter. They have that bracket in place of course for shipping and I'm leaving it where it is for now out of fear of screwing something up but need to really review all of that info on making sure its seated correctly. Last thing I want is to get everything bolted up only to find I fcked myself on the install and it all has to come out again.

 

Speaking of BelMetric, great supplier. I actually ordered the bolts directly from them and bypassed Amazon. They also are a great source for those caged nuts used with the ARB Bumper Support.

Nice!

Helpful for those that buy a used ARB bumper for sure.

 

Oh my God that's amazing

 

Or for that one fing nut that snaps its clip because of age. I had two where those little wings on the clip broke off. Oh well, all good now.

 

lol I don't know about amazing but definitely rather order from belmetric vs a no-name vendor on Amazon or ebay selling cage nuts advertised for a server rack.

 

Fucking Mint



Fixed the RC.

Just charging up both batteries to see if it runs as if it's fixed

Last time I ran a GPS on it, it was hitting either 54mpulh or 59mph...can't remember.

 

@Wulf my assumption is the only powerstroke worth owning is the 7.3 or a late 6.0
