The shifting bs is all tuning related and can be fixed..
and I am with @Babaganoosh on this one. Trucks can be fun and fast. The tcase is a non issue once it’s fixed.. I can promise I have abused mine far harder just because it’s a manual.. so banging gears hasn’t broken mine yet.. the last issue was me missing a snap ring on the output.. it hasn’t had any issues since I fixed that. Boost it!

Well I didn't get as far as I thought I would today but it's progress.
The left 2 or the right 2?
Struck out today, wrong input seal and I forgot I still don't have tcase to adapter bolts.
Oh well, I have a steak in marinade and some bacon wrapped Jalapeno's to grill.

Mmm, Bacon.......
Truck will run today, watching the 50th Baja 500 start and it's hyping me up. Man I miss racing can't wait to be back at it.
When is the brown truck bringing turbos?
When I get it a bit more reliable and get a some what decent interior going.
On my 3rd round of parts run.
Helps if I know what I need first rather then walking around the store and getting stuff and guessing on the size. My 2nd return to AutoZone today.
This is when I make impulse purchases and forget half the stuff I needed. LolWhen I get it a bit more reliable and get a some what decent interior going.

I grabbed everything I needed just saw stuff like header collector gaskets. Last time I dropped the exhaust they started leaking. Bought the wrong size....
Cross member, fluid and drive shaft then put the battery back in and it's good to go.
Taking a water break it's 101 degrees and a excessive heat warning what ever that means....
Truck hasn't ran in 4 months, primed the injectors 3 times, first crank fired right up....
It's hot I'm tired and need to shower.

The tires did spin a few times, I forgot how hard the G80 locks in this thing.
Surprised no one gives me crap about the G80 @blazinzuk can attest to how good it works in this.
I have heard the 14b ones are a lot stronger. When I took it apart I cleaned all the clutches and wiped them down. It seems to lock about 35% into corners but it might be my driving style I tend to like to whip it to lean the body over.
Might drive it a bit today but my garage is a disaster and full of junk so it's back on truck duty.
Before I fill the bed up I need to put the rear shock on finally...
