mine did not understand either so i got rid of her, let say i did lke you do with a car...i replaced her with a younger model more suited to my need...lol, it was expensive but well worth the trouble!

well today was a hot day! i satrted by puting the bushing in the leafs and installing the leaf on the frame, then i cleaned up some parts and painted the stuff in the tent, then my girlfriend uncle ask me to weld him up a set of ramp for his 4 wheeler so i did, after that my sun was giving a show at school so i went, then i got the painted part in place and hung the front diff in place, i was unlucky and the jack sliped, but no one got hurt and there is just a few scratch on the housing ill fix it when its done,lol, then i got the shock back in place , then i took picture....lol

here are the pics of the day, enjoy!

and at the end of the day almost all the painted part are back in place!

well today was a rainy day, so i cleaned up some in the shed and started to get the differential peices cleaned and prep , as of yet i dont have all the parts i need since some bearing are in rough shape and some of the spacer where ruff too, but i did get a lot of stuff clean and it is getting there slowly but surely, unfortunatly i will have to fiddle around with my ton truck since my slave cinlinder seem to bet on it way out, so i will have to fi my daily driver before i get more progress on the m-truck...lol, otherwise i am stuck driving her car!....not an option...lol

anyhow here are the pictures of the day, enjoy!

races in rough shape, note how pitted they are


some clean diferential parts!


and the search for good part begins


and one spare set of gear, should i oil them and wath should i wrap them in to preserve them?

Do you have CRC products there? They have in a green can "Soft Seal" It will work very well for many years. You have to use a solvent to get it off.
Enjoying your thread. Cheers, Lynn.
