Ph yeah, it was leaking at the bottom of the pressure hose when I got it... Now I see why they left it.... It felt really tight but was weeping, then strip, and hopefully new will go together better.

 

[Mackadocious916]

So I finally got the new pressure hose, and ps pump, with all the brass washers. I will thourpughly clean and inspect banjo bolts at both ends.

Of course I got all this before I go back to work after a few days off, but now just install and hopefully done, brake bleed, and alignment, and she should be ready to drive, and final bumper install, but may need a shop to weld it.

 

[Mackadocious916]

I was thinking the reason there is no slack in the pressure hose is the two inch body lift, but not so sure. Hopefully I don't have to get a custom one 2" longer.

So happy I used the forums upload platform as photobucket wants $300/ year now...., so all those pics are in limbo.
My other build looks horrible due to all the missing images but I'll work it out someday... At least this build is still going strong.

So I jave been lagging, but today for the ps pump swapped out, pieces changed over, and laid the pump with upper hose connected in the engine bay with plenty of slack so I can hook up the bottom of the hose to rack....

And a cat....or was that packing material?

Good to be back. My ac went out and its been pretty hot... I was able to change 4 capacitors and its running better than ever, but it took time to troubleshoot, and I had to buy a ladder on CL , as the ladder I had was buried behind my square.

I also worked 8x 12 hr shifts in 9 days thinking the ac was going to be a $5-10k replace, so lucked out with about $200 in parts and fast shipping.

As long at they don't fight each other and just think you can get first hand view of how a torque converter works if you fire up the ac fan and the inside fan starts to turn with out power. Lol
