the 1990 GMC Sierra DD build

[project 67 sub]

thanks, and thanks. now that i got it lifted up... something else decides it wants fixed/replaced. i think my flex plate is cracked or broken, cause its making noises now all of a sudden like if it was, and im sure thats what it is. and i just replaced it in june of 2012 when the new/rebuilt motor went in. GRRR. lol

well figured out what the noise i was having and what was causing it. it was the flex plate buzzing the little gear on my mini starter lol. so to fix that i bought a new stock replacement starter and all is good now. no need to pull the trans.... at least yet
then i decided to fix another issue i was having with my truck ever since i got it a few years ago.... it had a leaky drive shaft issue, so here is my fix, i drilled out the little weep hole that was in it and tapped it for a cut down 5/16-18 bolt and put a washer and some silicon. lol.

and since i had to remove the original u-joint in order to fix this issue, i obviously replaced it with a new one.

no pics. but the upper ball joints have now been replaced, and i have replaced the steering box with a rebuilt one... since mine was leaking like hell all over the driveway lol. and i also swapped out the leaky power steering pump with another one i had sitting in storage as well. now nothing on my truck should HOPEFULLY leak
