Project G4 AKA Quasi-Ghetto

List is getting shorter and shorter. Need to make some speaker boxes now.


Headset offroad cables/hanger.

and all UHF cables ran now....

only have to run 2x speaker wires to boxes. Then wiring is done 110%!! Should be glorious feeling. In preparation for that... I hacked out the remaining portion of sheet metal. Box will fill that space. thinking i might Raptor line the speaker box too. Instead of carpet?

so much space now for speaker boxes

starting to pull the tranny. Just realized how retarded I am too. I had no idea that my shift pattern on my shifter is actually for reverse valve body. HAHAHA.

So, when I tested down the road... I for sure was trying to drive in 4th. HAHAHA. Doesnt matter though. That doesn't explain the problems of reverse... and losing pressure after so long.

I decided to throw a pressure guage on it to show. Here is what happend after shifting from park to R after... must be 5x? You can count here in video if you want... but at end... you can see it has lost all ability to make pressure. weird.

pulled the tranny. Culhane said approx 3,500 for a rebuild with billet reverse manual valve body. Seems a bit spendy.. but it seems those manual valve bodies are like $750 or so at least.

I couldn't get Jaunco to call me back. (Mike (the fabllab) said he did a good job on his) So yea.. not sure who else i would send my trans to besides Culhane.

Just bought a TCS converter with 3-3200 stall. Will also have lock up

Got to say... pulling the trans was actually really easy.

It seems my planning/work paid off to keep maintenance tasks bearable... so far. The acess holes were perfect... no need to remove dash... and I am sure I can do it with console in too...

Hardest bolt was one on driver side upper middle left. I will likely cut the stud portion off the head on that one bolt. It's not needed.. and just makes it harder to fit in because it is so close to firewall.

And bought some toe plates to make shit easier/more accurate on all these trucks we work on...

there is a local guy in OC that works out of his garage that has built alot of trans for local guys. Owned his own shop for like 30 years then retired and does them on the side. His name is Dana Sniff, he did my fully bulit c4, did tonellis, and a bunch of other people. But if i recall he was about 3k and that was 10 years ago. Its great piece of mind though. If you need contact info let me know.
