Its tube dave, but thanks!!

I get "Pipe" jargon from the drag racers...."we got new pipe coming this year" (slang for a new chassis)
I know its tubing, square, round, rectangular...all tubing.
 
So I cleaned up the yard/ barn today. The ground was finally firm enough to move stuff around. So I move the boat from under the lean-too and was on my way to hook up to the camper to put it under the lean-too. I hit a 2x6 that was left on the ground to prop up one of the trailers. Anyways My drivers side front tire hit it just right to kick it up between the driveshaft, and the skid. It was the weirdest thing ever. My truck stopped moving, and something started grinding. I shut it down immediately. I went to start it back up the second I turn it into the on position and it starts cranking:eek1::eek1: So after crawling under it, I find pieces of the board on the skid. The board ended up breaking my neutral saftey/back up switch sensor on my allison. So Now my Dmax only has R, and 3rd gear. I'm hope that it didn't mess up my tcm or ecm. Heres the pic

I had to trim one of the tabs on the shifter, you can see in this pic how I couldn't get full engagement of the 203.

That was one of the wifes biggest complaints that the speakers were not secured they were just in 6x9 boxes. So this should appease her :)

I think???, that bolt on the right was supposed to go in the other way, so the nut was toward the t/c?

Your gonna love that doubler Jess...

Dave there is no way the nut would fit on the otherside. There is about 1/8" of clearance to the case. Plus this is how ORD said to do it in the instructions. Yes I read the instructions :doah::doah:
 
Dam, I read them too Jess, but I didn't have any trouble with clearance's except where I ran my exhaust by the front output t/c bracket.
Hey as long as it works, who cares right?

Can't finish because I can't pick up more steel till my dmax is fixed. Part should be here next tuesday.

Going to be dropping the engine and trans in tomorrow.

Ordered a bunch of parts to finish up little things. Still need to order a bunch more.
 
sounds like some serious progress coming up Jess...I gotta give myself a kick to get back in the shop on the Maiden.
 
Feel pretty good for the 6 hrs I worked tonight.

Man that was a B getting in there by myself but I did it.

Now I can tackle a bunch of little things like measure for Dshafts, engine wiring, engine cage etc.
