Dropped truck off today :(

[mmmmtorque]

Being a new father and having the little lady taking classes on the weekends, its been pretty hard to work in projects for the truck. Sooo, when the tranny took a shitter, I opted to have my local garage do the dirty work.

Dropped the truck off today to have the tranny rebuilt by Six Speeds, Inc. (Formally T-56 Rebuilders) in Texas. While its in the shop, having them install the NX wet kit and line lock. Kinda bummed since I looked forward to installing these myself. Anyway, still have several more less critical projects to do in the future.

Will be without the truck for at least 2 weeks..... Fortunately a good friend of mine is going out of town on vacation for those two weeks and wanted to me to "take care of" his BMW 1200GT It should satisfy my speed fix until the truck gets back....of course will be driving easy until the tranny is broke in

now you are a good friend.

That sucks man, but nice work at the same time!

 

[ViperTruck2933]

Get ready for a long 2 weeks man. I have been so bummed out and just draggin around the house since my truck has been down.

I know I should be pumped about the upcoming results, but I am practically depressed. Hope you handle it better than I have.

Funny how these things work out. If the BMW doesn't do it for you, I have a '94 Chrysler LHS I'll loan ya. Seriously. The battery keeps going dead because I don't drive it. Good luck with the rebuild.

Damn, brings back memories from when I was a field engineer. Used to rent LHS's and drive the crap out of them

He also dropped off his Avalanche, so I have plenty of vehicles to choose from including my S/C'd Expedition :rock:

Hold on, I think I missed an episode here? When did your tranny take a dump and how come? I thought these t 56's were bullet proof in the Rc's?

The gear set is pretty stout but the synchro's arent nothing to brag about. This trans has had an issue from day one and slowly got worse. The synchros went out and makes it really wonderful to shift Had as many miles on the last truck and never had any problems and was just as hard on that one as this one.

mmmmtorque: If Six Speeds, Inc. wants the wiring diagram for the line lock (where the brake lights work when the lock is on), have them contact me and I'll fax it on down.

Good luck with the projects!
