Chris, maybe I could take you up on that head too? What a mooch I am. Want cash or beer in return? I have a feeling my 2500 will need an o-ringed head sooner or later.

I will grab the head and intercooler saturday morning...Before I get enough time to rebuild a head I will be collecting pension...Get the A535 ready....I guess that head is a least 150 lbs...

10-4. I'll have the hoist ready to unload it.

Chris, let me know when you want to time it. Where's Paul these days?

Still holding good though?

Turns out, those hydraulics I gave you won't be any good. 94-97 are different from 98-02. I found out that the hard way. Truck is still in the driveway with zero run time and zero miles.

Still holding out...Get a little slippage once in a while,but its still breaking in...I now could get a little squeak from the tires.....I know thats not a good way to break in a clutch

...Only did it a couple of times.

Also that bad pan leak after we put the rear seal in...is fixed...Did a search on DTR and found one guy who used gasket sealent...Gave the pan a good spray and leak has stopped...

What do you have left to do on the truck??

GSK needs to go in, then this stage is complete. Finally got it road worthy today. Clutch is quiet, smooth and a fairly soft pedal. Wouldn't know it wasn't stock other than it holds out to 38 psi now. Only taken it for one run, will update as needed.
