Well I finally got the truck here. Needed a new clutch. Now I have changed my fair share of clutches but this truck ate my lunch. Got the tranny out and I just wanted to know if there is anything that I should do while I have it apart. I will be changing all of the oils over to Synthetic AMSOIL and greesing everything up. Also getting the flywheel resurfaced.
I noticed an oil leak on the back side of the engine but it was to dark tonight to determine if it was the rear main or valve cover gaskets.
On another note: I drove this truck to Texas from Arkansas and quickly figured out that the fellow who owned it before me musta weighed 350lb+ as the springs in the drivers seat are shot. Is there an easy way to fix this?
One last thing. Anyone have any rear leaf springs for sale? My right rear has a cracked leaf I believe. Checked the frame and it is not diamonded or twisted. Just appears that the right rear is sagging.
I can't complain, I got the truck for $3,600.00. I will post up some pics soon to show off my new ride.

if the tranny is out do the rear main seal!!! and get a shim kit from EB. he is a member here and has a great website and products. I did a motor swap with a remanned motor about 3,000 miles ago and its allready leaking again. It my mistake for not knowing about the shim kit b4 swapping the rear seal. now I have to pull the tranny and clutch again to put in a shim kit and rear seal. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/scared.gif" alt="" />

I will pick up a rear main while I am in town today.
Shim kit? I tried to search for EB but came up with nothing. Only problem is I need it today at the latest tomorrow.

I've never heard of a shim for the rear seal either (of course that's not surprising) are you thinking of a speeedi-sleeve like for the front seal?

Just stuck the rear seal in the freezer for an hour, lubed it up with some AMSOIL and it went in like a champ. Thanx for all the help guys.

yea the speedy-sleve is probobly what else its called
