One of my local vendors came into work yesterday and they had dex6 5 gallon buckets on special... I thought about buying one.

I was bored at work sitting in front of the computer. I did a good bit of posting, research, craigslist and games on the clock today. We actually had a busy day at work but being in the parts department it was mostly billing oil filters and answering questions.
I do a lot of my posting on my phone but Saturdays at work I pull the website up.
Sweet..
What dealership you work for? I typically buy all my parts from Van but went in there to have them unlock my navi in my Duramax. Dude was a absolute idiot, and my backup camera doesn't work lol, wants it for 3 hours on Tuesday so they can "figure it out" and it wasn't as easy as they thought. I explained they need not program just theft data delete and it was like I had three eyes. My truck has a Takata passenger side bag, based on my brief experience, these guys will leave me with rattles.
My buddy has a pass-through, but he's in queen creek. That's what I get for trying to avoid the drive.

I will have to keep that in mind especially sense I have access to a employee discount.
I couldn't take it anymore... The build officially started, what better day to start on Americas birthday on a old piece of American iron.
Here is the partial reason for the SAS

Thanks for 4 years of awesome tech and endless bunny trails.
Now that the truck is getting mobile again, hopefully the next 4 years involve real trails more than thought trails...

No problem, thanks for putting up with me.
When I started this truck it was a bit of a struggle to take the ifs out, I have never used a grinder, welder and barely knew how to read a tape measure. MAN have i learned a lot.

No kidding. This thing is a work of art now. If you doubt, look how much deeper you dug compared to the average first rig. Very easy to put up with that kind of build.

Besides, the bunny trails have been downright funny at times.

Those bunny trails stink! I hope this is the last trans that goes in for awhile.

Thanks mang!
Well, I was talking about the mental bunny trails, not the mechanical setbacks. Those just aren't fun for anyone except the guys selling tranny parts.
Oh yes, those also. I had no idea what I was doing with most of these projects.Well, I was talking about the mental bunny trails, not the mechanical setbacks. Those just aren't fun for anyone except the guys selling tranny parts.
That's what makes the end product so impressive.
Couldn't have done it without Shawn's help.
I think a lot of us are still looking for a Shawn to come along and help make awesomeness happen. Or even just a kick in the pants.
Props to you both.
If I could just get a dang trans to work I would have awesome things. Have had to back out of a lot of things just cause I can't trust the truck.
