    The truck looks pretty good now that I've buffed and compounded the paint. It's still going to the body shop this fall

    I have put roughly 50 miles on the truck since doing a rebuilt th400 and junkyard 350. So far everything's good. I had to unstick a ring in the engine as it did smoke but after a few hard runs it quit smoking. It also had a little bit of blowby but its all but gone now. I have a feeling this...

    4wd long tube exhaust routing

    Looking at those pics actually helps me a ton. Im 95% positive I have enough exhaust pieces to build a crossover like that and clear my pan now that I think about it.

    I'll try and fit my pipe that way again just to see but, Im almost positive with the headman headers the pipe will hit the pan I'm running.

    4wd long tube exhaust routing

    So I have searched and haven't came up with an answer to my question yet. This said here's what Im hoping someone here can help me with. I have a 89 k3500 that I'm basically doing a full restoration on. I have the truck back together and running and now it's time to do the exhaust I have 100%...

    Its been a minute but I'm still around. I have had the th400 rebuilt and after I got it put back in the truck I developed a rod knock. At some point I will have the truck back on the road.

    I've not been on here and I haven't really had a whole lot to say update wise. I decided to have the transmission rebuilt but it came back with only reverse and first so I have to pull it and take it back to get whatever went wrong fixed. People make mistakes and as long as it gets resolved I'll...

    Ive got the transmission just about ready to go. I test fit the transfer case it slid right on. I've changed the modulator put a new front pump seal in and cleaned the mud off the case. I have a new converter flexplate and pan on the way. I also plan on running a case mounted shifter.

    idk if it's had a rebuild or if it's just been well taken care of but either way I'll take it.

    so I have gotten a th400 to go in my truck since the sm465 is toast it'll also help my knee. To my surprise this things really clean on the inside and the fluids clean. I'm gonna put a new pan/filter in with a new converter. I feel confident enough in it to put it in the truck without a rebuild.

    So 3rd gear finally came apart on me. It's a super common issue with these old sm465s. I could rebuild it but I've been wanting a 5 speed for awhile now so that's the route I'm going.
