    Any tricks to getting your SB doors to close easier?

    My drivers door has always been a PITA to close all the way. I hate slamming doors or anything else for that matter, but that’s what it took to close it all the way. Then I found the thread here about using 1/2” PEX to make new sleeves for the door catch. Some of my original sleeve was still...

    Sorry I can’t figure out how to link to my previous post, but I just fixed my K5 Blazer door slamming problem and posted it in Post #23,043.

    Drove it! Actually I drive it several times a week, weather permitting, but today my lovely wife went along and snapped a couple pics. Gorgeous day for a drive! When we got home we put her Wrangler on the lift and replaced the running boards and changed the oil together. Then we changed the...

    I restored these wonderful antique Dayton scales and would order tempered glass ovals and rounds for them from this company. A big, thick one as shown was around $75 I believe but it was thick and had rounded edges so a plain flat rectangle would be cheaper. Plus you can size it all out and get...

    TH350 oil level, engine off

    Installed my aux transmission cooler today. After a leak check (none!) I drove it the same route I did when I first put the temp gauge in. New cooler made a significant difference, even with it being warmer. (85 outside). I plumbed it in per the diagram below btw. I did paint the brackets I...

    Operation Trans Cooler began Friday. Plans are to install a cooler once it and my fittings arrive in a couple days.

    For something like an automatic transmission, where you have fluid doing different things in different locations in the tranny there is really no perfect place to monitor temps. What’s important is to establish a baseline and just watch it for deviations versus a specific number. This is...

    Everything I read says those are normal temps.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Installed my transmission temperature gauge today. The Autometer literature recommended a “short” sending unit if installing it in a pressure test port so as to not bottom it out. Install went with no problem and I took it for a 40 minute ride. Temps climbed to a bit under 210 then fluctuated a...

    I can say that a wire wheel on a drill motor does a great job of transferring grime from the transfer case to your body. I looked like I had changed races by the time I was done. :D

    Cleaned up the 203 transfer case. Changed the 30 weight oil while I was at it.

    TH350 oil level, engine off

    I am planning to install a temperature sending unit in my TH350 and was leaning towards installing the unit in the 1/8” NPT pressure tap port, circled in yellow. With the engine off and tranny cold is this port above the fluid level ( assuming not overfilled) or will I need to drain fluid before...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    A few days ago I posted about my transmission work; changing to a pan with a drain plug and removing the kick down cable. I reused the LubeLocker pan gasket, something I have done in the past with no issues. This time it developed a leak so I dropped the pan and replaced the gasket. Today I...

    What have you done to your square lately??

    Went after that kick down cable leak on my transmission and decided I would also get a transmission pan with a drain plug! Got everything then removed the kick down cable from my TH350 along with the internal wire/linkage. Installed a kick down cable delete fitting in the transmission housing...

    TH350 intermittent leak

    Thanks, but I know exactly where it’s leaking from as I described in my original post. What I don’t know is why it happens only occasionally.

    TH350 intermittent leak

    The source of the leak is clear, but not sure why it only leaks occasionally or if this is one of those things you just have to live with for this transmission.

    TH350 intermittent leak

    I have an intermittent leak from my transmission that puzzles me. It’s a TH350 behind a 454 and driving a NP203 transfer case in my 75 Blazer. Transfer case is stock therefore full-time 4WD. Everything drives fine with no issues. The only thing I’ve done to the transmission was replace the...

    Let’s see your memorabilia?!

    It’s strange how some things can evoke so many memories. This Sunbeam Model 11 Mixmaster has been in the family longer than I have. My parents bought it new in 1956 so it was already 4 years old when I was born. Many, many memories of them using it for holiday meals, cakes, cookies etc. Mom...

    Shows and Cruise-Ins are starting up here. Went to a local Cruise-In this afternoon. Beautiful evening, temps in the 80s with a breeze. The blue GTO belongs to a neighbor down the road. I saw him leave today and just knew where he was headin! That 57 Chevy was one of the nicest I’ve seen in a...
