Howdy stranger!

Haven't had a meet in Waco in a long time. Mostly up here or where ever something is going on. Tyler is the only one of the "old" Waco bunch that shows. JB threatens to show sometimes, but never has. Come see us sometime.

I yanked his G56 yesterday... what a pig - sure glad it wasn't an NV! Cracking the case today; hope it isn't roached, but there sure was a bunch of metal shavings in the bottom and on the drain plug.

Found a bunch of "minor" problems with the truck up in the air, leftover from the recent ValAir install:
tranny bolts finger-tight only
missing crossmember bolt
PTO cover installed backwards
missing U-joint bolt

Who in the heck installed your clutch??
Didn't even know you had a new clutch installed?
Where have I been? What clutch went in?

That G56 is like lifting the pink women's weights at the gym compared to the NV! lucky you!!

Haven't been doing your thread reading!
Matt from OK. Red 06 that was at Alvarado. Lost his reverse. Not sure but he may have done his own ValAir clutch install.
If done by a pro...someone should be shot!

Brian...tried the newest Adrenaline program? .... the RowJ aggressive SW (had to throw in the name!!)

Yep - it's Matt's red '06

He diagnosed a NO REVERSE issue with a ValAir DD replacement... strangely, it didn't fix the problem.

I think he had a "shop" do the install, since he paid a couple grand for the clutch + install... SHAME on whoever took his money!

If he and his buddies did, it's understandable - we just need to learn them sum mekanickin' ......

I'm hoping the reverse synchro isn't roached, but there sure was a bunch of metal shavings in the +4

I'll get some juicy interior shots when I crack the case today. It certainly is a big beefy tranny - no way I'll be benching one of these babies into the clutch like the old Muncies!

I think Cory is pre-occupied with something other than a truck.

We don't mind Fords.........as long as they're Cummins powered.
