LBZ: Trans build prep
- Thread starter DaJokr
- Start date
So it's at the shop now. There talking about just taking the tail housing off and if there's a bearing toasted as long as it hasn't gone through the planetarys just replace it and slap the housing back on. If it has then they will tear the whole trans down and check it all. But at this point they are just leaving the tranny in the truck.
It's got me nervous, because I thought that was a nono...

I would heavily advise you not to allow them to take the rear housing off while it's in the truck; it's too difficult to keep everything aligned.
There isn't anyone else. This was the most recommended shop. This is just turning into a nightmare.
There pulling the trans. Dropped the pan and found Torrington needles. Complete tear down and inspection of all gears and parts.
So I put the bearing on the 3rd sungear on upside down :facepalm:
Took out the planetary's, the large sungear in the c3's, the intermediate or output shaft and the bearing. Should have it back tomorrow once I scrounge up the funds for the repair bill.
Lesson learned, I hate torringtons. And the picture is so clear, we quadrupal checked that bearing before I closed it up even.

Thanks Andrew. Think we're all sorted out here. Just looking forward to driving it again and getting back to the track. Already planning on finding another allison to use as a spare and get another kit for it. You'll get another call from me when that time rolls around :thumb
Thanks everyone for your help through the build, before, and after. I appreciate not being mocked for screwing it up. I half expected to be ridiculed, but instead it felt more like support. This forum is full of awesome and helpful people. It's nice to be a part of a community like this and makes me even prouder as a dmax owner.
Next up, making my mark on the locals as a force to be reckoned :woott:

DaJokr, after the financial debacle you have put the wife and yourself through you're going to actually take the risk at the track, just an observation and ya I know if your "gonna play your gonna pay" but damn the self inflicted wounds gotta stop somewhere......:thumb:
Whatevs
I prefer preachers that aren't perfect
Joker learned several lessons and spent time with his dad, wives forgive and forget, finances recover, time never slows down or can be gotten back. Those were his resources and he spent them the way he wanted to
Good for you man, good luck at the track!
Wow, you're boring. Don't be such a buzz kill.
Women never forget, what you say and do can and will be used against you whenever necessary....for life
OK, here is another post to Dajokr

Naw.....you have the fortunate experience of doing a project with your father that I never had. My Father passed six years ago and looking back, the time you are having with your Dad now is unlike any I ever had with mine. It was all about work and not much else even though I worked for him for 13 years not much changed after I quit working for his company. Even though you may want to shoot yourself in the foot for tackling this build your relationship and time spent with him will overshadow the difficulty and you will always remember these times...........
