I need to get one of those.... I've looked at them enough, just never pulled the trigger.
They are handy, I keep one in the house as well. I don't use them for painting much lol.
Thought for sure I was break something on that tank swapping over. Nope, I was able to remove the pressure sensor as well. Those break easy, - purchased one just in case, -didn't need it though.. Hell , even those things are pricey. I still have it if anyone needs one lol.

Fordguy, how did you break the vent replacing the pump ? They don't need to come off. Did it break while disconnecting the vent hose?
I asked Matt (on FB) about the motor, and it's just a stock 4.0 he's got. I told him about my Buddy's stroked 4.0 to a 4.6, and that was a MEAN motor. It would light up his 37's real easy. I wish he still had it, but after another friend of ours that he always Jeep'd with died in a boating accident, he sold it. Didn't have the desire anymore, until just recently. He just asked me to look for XJ's for sale.
Yeah, I'm wondering what he's going to do to the banana.
EDIT: I want one of these shirts.

Good morning everyone. I need some help and hopefully someone has some idea about this. The pics are of the bellhousing and index plate for my 5.0. The bellhousing run-out on the face perpendicular to the crank and to the crank centerline is spec's at + or - 5 thou. Where the bellhousing bolts to the engine it's in spec's but where it doesn't it's not in spec's. The pics:
Where it's solid on the index plate the plate doesn't bolt to the engine which is everything below the starter and straight across. It bolts to the back of the bellhousing. Approximately 1/3 of the bellhousing is just hanging off the engine. Per the instructions the runout where the bellhousing bolts to the engine the total run-out is 3.5 thou and fine but goes way out of spec where it doesn't bolt to the engine. It goes to about 10 thou. I can't put the transmission on because the measurement is from the flywheel to the outside of the bellhousing. That means the weight of the transmission isn't hanging on the bellhousing.
If it needs to be brought in to spec like it is how would it be done? There's no surface to bring in to spec to.
What a PITA. Man, did you hear the average cost to repair those things after they bust them up ? About 9 grand....plus the recovery bill lol. I hope that was an exaggeration.
