hey now! ... my 5.3 GMC might've been an embarrassment down the track (maybe not as embarrassing as blowing an engine ), but it was still loads of fun! and yours is probably way faster than mine.

How's your health, looks like you got a great job, obviously you have a ton of good friends and family and a garage that makes me drool. Shit will work out. Hate to keep the cliches going but "glass is half full" my car is in the garage also and not doing much for me...but that will change Regardless of what Huffer says

i totally agree, i was looking at it on a line item level.

the grand scheme of things.... shooot... I could care less when that she is on the road. I have plenty going on with friends family and partying with both.


that being said...
I will try to pull the oil pan Friday night, LoveFab is letting me use their lifts. If I cannot get it... then I am hitting the lake and sitting my butt on the boat!

EVERY bolt comes loose.... trans, drive shaft, effin sub-frame connectors.... I dont know if its the motor, fly wheel, trans, drive shaft or rear end... but something is out of sync.

... that doesnt sound good...

tell me about it.
you do not really feel it driving... but every bolt loosens... even with lock tight.

what kind of loctite are you using?

The have some that is ultra-high strength that you basically have to heat up to be able to loosen it.

look for some loctite 271, 277, or 290.

no prob man. but it sounds as if you have something more serious going on if the engine/drivetrain is shaking that bad.

what kind of engine/trans/etc mounts do you have? poly? solid?

I am not sure... poly = stock?

could stock be reused from TR6060 to a 4L80?

stock = rubber

could be I think... not sure off hand.

but with a poly, you'll feel more drivetrain vibrations than rubber... but poly is stronger
