Gears done

That's just about it.  Run the motor and check for leaks.

2nd gear...here

It's been a busy last 7 days.
 A new winch for the trailer.  The day I bought the trailer
I knew this was on it's last legs.One less thing to worry about.

At last I received my much need gears.  There used but look new.
A good ratio for all the tracks.
The truck need a bigger transmission oil cooler.  My smoking problem was the trans getting to hot and leaking on the exhaust pipe.  Only happening on very hot days and towing.  
Here's the solution.  Bigger trans cooler.  The one on the top
is for a newer Ford, but for the most part will fit in my
 truck(old one on the bottom).  This should fix the problem.
The Suburban had a fuel line leak(rusty line).  So all fuel lines running from the tank to the engine needed replacing.  Not a fun job.

2nd gear



This was one of the gears that couldn't be re cut.  Never should have tried to use it.

Radiator repaired

I take it to a shop not to far from home.

It was just a small pin hole.  Repaired.

Pressure tested and no leaks.
