Its been a hell of a weekend.
First off, Water pump went. Thats been fixed. Old gasket was toast, leaked all over the place. pump was starting to sing.
Got a new belt too.
Old pump


Front of block where pump was.


I got my Old man to help me out on this (he actuallyshowed up to escape my mother for a while, so i put him to work)



THEN! i figured out what the whine i've been having was.
My Midshift bearing was toast. Along with my rear U-joint in my drive shaft.
So, unfortunately, i couldn't talk my dad into taking my driveshaft out. so i did that part. this is when it was out and he was getting parts.
i had that sumbitch out at 4:30 and back in with new u joint and bearing at 5:30.

 

So its all fixed now Dave?

I mean Alex

 

Lol. Runs like Raped date.
That midshift bearing makes such a huge difference in ride. My truck feels completely different on acceleration and cruising now.
