smallest of small updates lol, still have the truck, its been the wifes daily driver for the last few years. My kid has been in scouts for the last couple years and im involved in it also, my Tacoma has a CB that the scoutmaster and I use to communicate while traveling to campsites so im...

Its been almost 3 weeks since I have done anything on this thing besides going out and firing it up once a week. Between scouts, being sick, snow storms and cold temps, I have not wanted to go do anything with it. Well tonight with a torrential down pour I finally went back into the shop lol...

Took my kid snow shoeing yesterday to check on the cabin were taking scouts to this coming weekend, then taught him how to drive in the snow, there was about a foot of fresh snow and we were snow shoeing on about 5 feet of packed snow.

Finished stripping it down last night, man those spindles were a pain to get off there. getting the goodies lined up to install

I finally feel well enough to get back to work on this thing after dang near a month. Sunday I degreased and wire wheeled the majority of the housing and got it moved into the shop. Last night I started stripping it down. But while I was down and out, the suburban was nominated and voted...

Last week driving the suburban around with the floor still open over fuel tank I could hear some gear train noise, While I have the new rear axle done I am not ready to install it yet.

got the engine back together last night and ran it into town, so far it is running better but we will see after a few more trips.

Took scouts out to play in the snow Saturday We became one with nature while there lol

last couple of days ive been spending a couple minutes cleaning the engine valley till it gets dark then move into the shop and work on the rear axle. While the valley is not as clean as I would like (without tearing the engine apart), it is better than it was. I figure I will run some ATF in...

I was fed up with the stumbling issue after replacing almost all of the related components and ordered a new intake to accept a carb and all the associated bits. Being an OBD1 theres only so much testing I am capable of doing, I was recommended to get a bluetooth tester for it but thats even...

I need to get some wheel bearings and seals for the axle so last night i went out and bounced from thing to thing. I could not get the wheel bearings removed with a slide hammer and the attachments I have, ended up destroying the driver side and just leaving the race in the tube. Looking around...

spent most of my New Years Day pulling the axles from my stepside, tore the rear down, welded up the undercover fab diff cover, and stated putting the rear back together. ive seen people put an axle shaft into a vise then put the carrier on it to torque the ring gear bolts, I gave it a try...

swapped out the pump tonight, its running at 10 PSI. I want to remove the tester tomorrow before I drive it as the hard fuel line is pushed up against the bottom of the distributor with it in there.

Here's mine after getting it and putting new wheels/tires on it, cosmetically it looks the same still
