[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]Still waiting on the camshaft, valve springs, and adjustable[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif] pushrod (for measuring) as soon as that bad boy arrives I can put the engine back together and drop it in.
[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]Yesterday I drained the 4r70w transmission and converter. Why you ask?
[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]Because I am h[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]eaded to Colorado on a final road trip to grab our camping camper.... We have a 30' camper I built years ago to act as our home away from home when camping. We could not bring it with us when we moved so it has been parked at my mother in laws house this whole time. My mission is to haul ass to Colorado get the camper and haul a[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]ss back home. While we are there I am dropping off a couple of 5r55e auto trans cores and this 4r70w vale body with Brett so he can do some updates to the trans valve body for us.
[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]Interesting note Brett is now building old A4LD's using 5r5e internals...making[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif] a bomb proof A4LD = I can flip the Gen I explorers more often. I really like this idea, we need to save those old Gen I trucks they are tanks!
[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]So I packed up the valve body and we are outta here! Be back end of next week.....
[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]Once the camper is home we[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif] will park it down by the river to act as our first "guest c[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]abin" here in Idaho. So when Eddie Money or Rick & Char or Brett or whomever come to visit they have a cabin down by the river
[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]One part did come in through while we wait, a Raybestos inline magnetic transmission filter, Yeah! How exciting!!
[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]Cam was supposed to be h[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]ere y[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]ester[font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]day.... [font=Arial, Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif]should see it Monday
