flamingbig10 · 11-16-2010, 10:30 PM

menace121978 · 11-17-2010, 07:18 AM

nice! little by little buddy!

flamingbig10 · 11-17-2010, 09:35 AM

thanks Dennis, but the parts sure do add up quickly.

Well I got good news all the parts I ordered should be here today or tomorrow and if I get some to help me with the cam, pushrods, and springs the week, I going trying and pick and junk 4l80 so I can mock every thing up since I plan on adding a 3200 stall converter an they cost nearly as much as a used 4l80 around here

flamingbig10 · 11-18-2010, 01:48 AM

the brake lines came today

*nbpro* · 11-18-2010, 02:02 AM

Looking good man

menace121978 · 11-18-2010, 11:43 AM

hey Aaron... just wanted to give you a little tip before you get too far along with those brake lines. stainless steel brake lines are a much harder metal than the regular steel lines. i used ss lines on the front system. THEY ALL LEAKED! the only lines that didn't leak were the factory lines that i re flared myself. once your truck is together it is a *itch to fix them and very frustrating when you buy pre bent lines that are already flared and ready to go and they leak like a sieve.

so here's the tip

take them off and heat up the flare with a torch until its red hot and let cool. this softens up the metal just enough that the flare will conform with the union when its screwed together. and you wont have any leaks

i probably will never use pre bent stainless lines again after all the trouble i had but if i do i will be heating those babies up before i install them for sure!

JohnC · 11-18-2010, 02:59 PM

Coming along man!

Great tid bit Dennis!
