[ShortTemperd]

Nope this ones a clean blue color on boggers.. it was under built Chevy or something like that

[ShortTemperd]

Well got the tcase out looks like the guy jerry rigged it in their and stripped out the threads for the trans ran out of daylight. Does anybody dose have any input on t-case spacers? Or here of em? Hopefully tomorrow if it don't rain gonna heli coil it

got the t case out today and turns out the guy before me decided to jerry rig it and threads on the trans are striped out.... so going to have to heli coil it and throw some studs in


Pic of the spacer. gonna take it in and get it all cleaned up. got to find an O ring to go on the inside instead of hobbled gasket sealer.....


also got tire fixed today and cleaned up some of the wireing on the inside

[ShortTemperd]

[84silverado]

I have a turbo 350 in my truck and i have it heli coiled and its holding up just fine with a 205 behind it

[ShortTemperd]

okay sweet. do you have studs in their? or bolts? and is it 3/8?

[MidMichiganMudRun]

[ShortTemperd]

thanks wish this rain would go away so i can finish it!

[84silverado]

okay sweet. do you have studs in their? or bolts? and is it 3/8?

I put 3/8 bolts it with locktight red thread locker, its on helicoils and bolts

[ShortTemperd]

okay i dont know if ill be able to fit bolts. would studs still be okay?

[84silverado]

I dont see why not, most are just as strong as a normal bolt would be

[ShortTemperd]

ok sweet should be all together today. taking it over to a buddys to have him heli coil it. also picked up a nice sunpro 5" tach
