Well driving home today and went to pass a semi truck. Dropped down to third rang it out to about 80 and went shift into OD/5th. Clutch pedal flopped to the floor. Pulled over and found the master cylinder rod that attaches to the pedal had fallen out of the pedal. Reached up to the hole where the rod fits into the pedal and noticed a nylon spacer in the hole. Apparently the PO put the spacer in there to make it shift with less pedal effort. However theres no way for the rod to clip into the pedal. Pulled the spacer out jammed everything back together and limped it home with nearly no clutch because now without the spacer the rod is to short to fully disengage the clutch.
Luckily I already bought and extended a rod because I wanted to lesson the pedal force required to shift. Installed it just now and I'm back to where it was before thank goodness. Gonna have the old rod extended even more than before probably 3/4" where the other one is only extended 3/8". Should make it super easy to shift and not have a dangerous situation happen again.
Left rod is the already extended one.

I know guys that are boosted or running high HP like to go back to the 4 corner steam pipes because there’s supposedly heat buildup on #4 & #8 under duress. But I deleted the TB part of mine and am running the 2 corner one.
edit: #7 , the rear cylinders duh

Right on. For this reason, I wanted to get the four corner one. I'll still be mostly stock but it certainly wouldn't hurt to have it.

Water pump, thermostat and fan clutch in. I have heat now!
Now to figure out why I get a pop from the front left area when turning left only when it's damp or raining. Quiet as a mouse when not wet.

ya that's what I am going to do with hers just run the hose from the radiator to the pipe and bypass the TB
usually that is the sway bar bushings, try greasing them I think what happens is the grease gets thin and then when water gets in water is a terrible lubricant so it makes it pop instead of moving smoothly.

Thanks. That is what I am going to try, just have to put my grease gun back together and lube the whole front end.. if that doesn't work, put new non poly end links in as I have the energy suspension ones.
I though they only sell poly ones? Also, you might want to buy their greasable sway bar bushings since there’s no way to grease the OEM ones without taking them apart.

I have the full energy suspension poly setup for the front: sway bars, end links, control arms. Will grease everything. Was considering swapping to maybe some Delco end links that aren't poly if the grease doesn't work. Ball joints and arms are only 2 year old Moogs.

I'll get pics with the nicer trucks soon, the actually good onesIt IS weak as hell and the proof is right there in the foreground. F@#d.
put the new crossover pipe in the 04, cleaned up the mess, should be no more loosing coolant now, there was a puddle right by the first head bolt on the drivers side had to clean the heck out it to get it to stop bleeding red must have been leaking from the pipe right there for a while, I went ahead left the throttle body connected didn't feel like driving half an hour for a new hose, there building a new autozone 2 blocks away from me that will be nice.
