If Tyler had busted 500, you know it would have been posted on at least half of the DTR threads by now. I'll let him pass on the info.............

Missed you again Dan.

It was a Stock R&R...i mainly watched and gave an extra hand when needed. BUT this was the first time i got to see the inside of a tranny and actually somewhat understood what was going on in there. Its a lot of parts...but honestly...its pretty simplistic.....

I was at MSC. Keith is a DTT guy...but the dude just wanted a stock rebuild that had the truck....It was going in a 97 Dodge 2500 4x4. Whatever tranny in there.....(If it aint a NV number...i dont know it!)

Sorry dan. 464/930. I did put a car and a half on a new 350z from 70-110mph.

It was nice seeing yall again. Wish I was a little more sociable but I felt like crud and I was exhausted. I still don't have my voice back but it's getting better. I think my body is still oozing out tranny/gear lube/oil smoke.

Thoes 350Z are good down low (that 3.5 is a Torque monster) but that car is no hot rod....it handles dang good though (Loved all the wifes of the guys that bought em them a car that hated the ride in them! And they were rough! About 6 months after they came out, our used car dept was full of them!)...i used to work on them when they first came out.......fun car to say the least.....just not a drag racer.......

Mike I also owe you a big thankyou for Friday with the help on my ATV with that custom fabbed hitch and the front differential and A-Arm bolts!!

BrIan, Mike, and Justin.......Your beer is on me at the next GTG!! Name your brand. I know BrIan wants Dos Equis Amber. Mike and Justin??
I was glad we could help out - always fun to use one of my inventions...

p.s. the brand doesn't matter as long as it's expensive beer!

Yeah, you looked pretty bad too, Tyler... but your GF made up for it! Grrrrrr...

I warned you guys about the contents of the blue jug I brought to the meet... you shouldn't have made Brian dump it into the fire!

I know what you mean. I had her door panel apart and did not notice that I had reclined the seat all the way back with gravitational help.
