New England Mod & Meetup Thread:

You're not TOO far from @tacobell007 , not sure if he done spraying or not though...

 

Matts truck come February.

A buddy asked me to... weld this... back together. That is no longer steel sir, that is known as iron oxide

 

Just gotta get the important bits, I can clean the rest up when it's not frozen out lol

 

ATF? You might not want to do your ATF, you're kinda just at that cusp where you shouldn't.



Someone a lot smarter than me can start to get into it, something to do with detergents and the transmission is adapted to the older fluid and new fluid will wash out some of the stuff in the fluid that's making it work

You need to try the old soda bottle and length of fuel line trick.
Drill a hole in the cap for fuel line and a small hole for blow gun. Pressure blows the oils right in there. Just gotta be easy on the pressure [/QUOTE]

I can see that going well



Nah I'll give it a whack. I'm not shy. I gotta do the brakes too, so the compressor will get a workout. Little tiny pancake but it should do the trick

 

I wouldn't be able to get in before he wraps, running down to SC/GA for Christmas

Ive done a drain n fill for atf at 100k,125k, and now 150k. I am doing all the other fluids too. Brakes and front diff are done.

Also gunna take off the drums and see how bad it looks in there.

 

When you coming back? I might have to extend my spraying due to something that recently came up. Could use the extra money

 

New years I think, the weekend after work?

 

Oh shit, forgot you moved. Closer to
me now. I can help if you need, would need it to be a warmer day. Doesn't spray too well if it is cold out.

Also need to figure out why my sprayer is shooting woolwax out the top two breather holes in the sprayer every now and then.

edit: go to drew first if you can if he can

 

Yeah reminds me I needed to take the drums off to get that done too.

Okay, if you've been on the ATF, good. You can probably trim that down from 25k, but it's cheap and easy, so do you

Technically I'm at 67.9k, without plans to do much this winter, but a plan for a trip to the grand canyon in the spring. I was thinking to do it all before that, but it might make more sense to do it all after. Would put me up around 80k, I THINK, for miles, when I'd be doing all the stuff. Plus you see threads/posts of people who don't do nearly anything for about 100k miles, so that's reassuring.

 

As long as the weather is semi decent

 

Pencil me in for Saturday then

 

Where are you in CT?

 

Collinsville

 

@TacoTuesday603 Little busy with work this week but I will try to make it over to pick up that spline socket.

 

Sounds good, you can either pick it up after 5 at my place or weekdays in andover, MA anytime from 7 to 4.

 

You want an earlier appointment or afternoon?

 

Earlier, I can hit the road whenever

 

Shows me as 10 minutes closer now hahaha, it's wild how many things are basically as close as I was before now
