Life as a pack mule is rough.....

Terwilliger, belknap, macreidy, or bigelow???

I woulda come nekkid if that’s what it would have taken.....

You’re in Eugene????

Pull the access cover and look at the bolts. Every flex plate I’ve seen broken sounds much like that, and every one had shiny bolt heads.

I have one hanging in my shop. Don’t know how I ever did it that other way. Let’s you raise and lower the car so you work where it’s comfortable.

I have the stuff to do Lisa’s too. Not looking forward to it.

Sent ya a picture Gary. 18”s ride much better than 20”s.

Follow the vacuum line from firewall, next to brake master cylinder down to vacuum pump. Remove hose from right there and see if it’s pulling vacuum. If not, fix the vacuum pump.

I have also liked manuals for towing. Less rpm drop between gears (6 speed) and as long as the driver is paying attention, mountains aren’t an issue. Having said that.... we are talking 47re vs 6spd manual. 2007.5+ trucks are a different animal.

Burton?
