been a while. motor is in, its been running long enough to toast the trans. 3rd and 4th are gone for good. not gonna throw any more money at 4l60es. its just been looking sad as hell sitting around the farm, and it needs a bath really bad. it still gets used often to move the skid loader from farm to farm and do odds and ends that don't require highway driving. the things that need addressed keep piling up though.
out of nowhere it started smelling like it was burning coolant once it gets to temp, so I pulled the valve covers off and all the head bolts are still torqued good, its not leaking anywhere, its not in the oil, or coming out of the exhaust, and I havnt had to add any, so who knows. the front turn signals need rewired, sometimes they all work, sometimes some of them will work, sometimes none of them work. my brights and cruise mysteriously quit working a while ago, so I think it needs a new multifunction switch. also my grandpas helper Eugene backed it into the skid loader trailer and it hit the exhaust. he ripped off 3 of the rubber hanger insulaters, tweaked the whole exhaust, and put a giant dent in on of the tips. fkn amish... so I took it up to my dads shop and parked it.
EDIT: also I need to rewire my trailer plug. its got a short somewhere
