    Allison 5sp: Oops or ok?

    So I called my parts guy first who told me $500 for the nsbu.. ouch, but ok that's what I get for helping out lol. Then I called my shop to see how much they want to install it and he doesn't want to touch it because he's afraid he will wreck it. Called the closest transmission shop ( an hour...

    Allison 5sp: Oops or ok?

    Hmm. That's good to know. Another reason to keep the old one around a while Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Allison 5sp: Oops or ok?

    I'm going to fire it back up and let it run for awhile now. Maybe I just didn't give it long enough to dry out? Knowing the truck a little better would be good. I guess we all learn by doing right? Side question I was wondering- so I'm a gasser going through water you stay slow of course but go...

    Allison 5sp: Oops or ok?

    Idling with the brakes on. This isn't my first flood. But the water is already at least 3 feet at its deepest points. I took the diesel because I could carry more but I'm really regretting that choice now. The half ton doesn't owe me anything Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    Allison 5sp: Oops or ok?

    LB7: Parking brake cable misery

    Thank you for the help! Got it hooked up and she's now (finally) plated. Now to get used to the gauge readings. Going from gas to diesel I keep checking to make sure things are where they should be. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    LB7: Parking brake cable misery

    Hats? This is sounding like something I can't finish with it on the ground. I've never done e brakes before. Only pads and rotors, apparently I never want to do this again! Haha Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    LB7: Parking brake cable misery

    My 02 lb7 was *supposed* to go in for safety today and finally get plated. One little thing left I needed to finish- connect the new e brake cables. After a few hours I got one on but I can't get the two of them on.. what am I missing? There must be a trick I don't know for this right...
