So what did you do with your truck today?

[DougBoy66]

Pretty sure it is this one. My power has been out for about 15 hours due to someone careless driving(knocked out the whole town) but I will confirm tomorrow

I helped my dump truck eat another E4OD. Well…

I do plan on attempting to rebuild one of these finicky slushboxes… since I now have two fubarded ones… but believe me when I say that’s not very high up the priority list… might not even be on the priority list.

My '89 came with a 3 speed E4OD.
Swapped it to a ZF5.
Was a PIA, but knowing it's a rock solid drive train is priceless.
Have only rebuilt one C6, wasn't too bad, except locating the snap ring in front of the rear planetary that keeps the output shaft from sliding out.
The only two models they ever made those for were c6 and E4OD, and they quit making spare parts 20 years ago.
Mine had become brittle and broke on removal.
Found a shop in CA that sent me all he had left for postage.
Let me know if you need one, I can't just throw them away...lol
That c6 is working away on a box truck.

Here's what I just did. Dropped my C6 to make room for a ZF5. This will be the largest, most in depth surgery on a vehicle I've ever done

I used the tailgate to hold all the top of the motor intake parts of my daily driver (a Taurus- goes by Bodacious) because I had an injector take a dump. While I was that deep into it I changed the coil packs and plugs( already had bought them) Running like a top. From

I know, I know wrong forum. I have to say though, I wish the IDI's had all these O-ring seals on intake manifolds and other mating surfaces. So easy

Almost. Your saving grace was the fact that you started out with using your tailgate to hold parts.

What's that long skinny bar in the front of the first photo, with the two holes on the right side. Breaker bar?

Never had a hard topo chico but this has me considering trying one

The part that stinks is it used up most of my weekend fixing the car instead of getting the IDI closer to being back on the road. It's close

Let me butcher the spelling on this one. Que cera, cera.

 

[DougBoy66]

Close enough. Yeah the taurus had to run so I could get to work for the week. The big blue one will get going soon enough. I am hoping to get the starter turning the motor by thanksgiving. We will see. I just want it right instead of fast.

A LOT more people should think this way. Since they don't, that just means more IDIs for us!

That would be part of a sucker/pump rod for an old open gear windmill

Honestly, I have no idea where the topo Chico came from. I don't drink it hahaha

Unloaded my old bathroom (concrete and tile) at the dump. 1200lbs. My truck after unloading and with about 24gal of fuel only weighed 6340lbs, thought it was heavier than that.
