Man I paid 72 for 12 quarts of motorcraft mercon v. I'm doing an engine and transmission replacement not just a flush so I had to refill everything from 0

 

Finally got around to undercoating my truck. Figured now is the time to do it with the transmission is out. I did the engine bay a while back when I had the engine out. Looks alot better now. I still need to get another 2 or 3 cans to finish it up tho. Still have to do the rear axle and the drive shaft but other than that it's finally done

 

Pics or it didn't happen

 

Picture! I need to do mine. The underside of my truck looks awful

 

I can get some later today for yall

 

You shouldn't paint the rear drive shaft. Especially with a thick undercoat, you could very easily throw it out of balance.

 

Well, I thought I was replacing the rear shocks, but the upper mounting bolts have thwarted me. I guess 20 years of salt and rust, added to non-existent accessibility, can do that. Will be buying some metal blades for the reciprocating saw, then going back for another shot. At least I had a good excuse to open up the rear brakes.

 

new shoes

 

Well after months of on and off working to figure out why my 97 wouldn't run right after engine swap having codes of P1131 and P0304, I finally found it. The plastic tube going from pcv to the throttle body had a crack in it. Never heard or seen it until I cut the foam off of it. Then next I checked on passenger side O2 and looked in the plug once I unhooked it and I be damn, two of the prongs was up in the body of the plug having no way of connecting. Threw another O2 sensor on and fixed the plastic tube and what do you know, she runs like brand new one. now I can finally move on and finish redoing the truck now.

 

Well today I washed the bed out and shined her up good. Still needs a good waxing.
