Re: Glock's new project: "Fred"

Thanks guys!!! The way Fred runs is simply incredible! Considering it still has the 2.73 rear end in it, I can't wait to get the 3.42 in!

I am still fighting a minor trans fluid leak at the top fitting on the radiator, but I think there is just probably a small piece of junk in there. I tightened it once at the get together and that seemed to have fixed it as it was dry when we met my wife for dinner in Ft Collins, but I looked this morning and it was wet again. No biggie there, it'll get fixed.

I can feel the lack of gearing on the interstate. At 85-90 in O/D it's OK, but at 75-80 it really needs to be in 3rd. Again, I can't wait for the new gears.

So far, just guestimating based on the gas gauge and the miles I have on it so far, I'm around 22 or so for mileage. Not complaining at all! I'm sure it will get better with the proper gearing so the engine isn't working so hard.

Hey Dennis.......
