Started cleaning sludged engine

Texas is the best country in the world

Wait, What?? There's something else out there besides Texas??

Going to give it a little flush with clean fluid, then refill. Obviously never been changed. it's 28k over on its service interval.

I may have missed it, but how many mile do you have on it?

Damn, $250 for a GP100? I was happy to get my 6 inch stainless GP for $700 brand new.

Yeah man, 6" stainless, rose grips. the guy I bought it from didn't like it. he had the original box of ammo that he bought with it, only 6 bullets missing. he said 250$, 10min later we were doing the transfer at an FFL.

She's mentioned some place(s) around the Jacksonville area for the good schools.

Some of the best schools in the state. That's the main reason for our move at the beginning of the year

 

[Jon Chimpo]

Yeah man, hopefully 3 more years then full vested. By then my wife should be raking it in, and I can follow my passion of being a stay at home husband/tinkerer.

What are your thoughts on a aluminum deep transmission pans? I have one on my Silverado, i like the extra qt's it adds. plus it has a drain. looking at one on Summit for 190$ made by TCI.

@Jon Chimpo I want to follow the progress on your ride, and its restoration, but I want to preserve all the work you did writing up the sludge removal in that engine.

Could one of the moderators (@yates ™ , @goodinblack ) split this thread with your permission, and save it as a sticky so we can keep it easily visible for others?

Good work man, nothing like a job well done, and bringing something back from the brink of death.

By all means, if this helps others I'm all for it. Sticky away! I have a good feeling about this motor being okay. Sure it's not a great thing to let your engine go with no maintenance, but its the hand I was dealt.

Those fins don't look as deep as others. wouldn't more surface area in contact with moving air result in better heat dissipating?

Others might cool a lil better like you said but I've got this pan and the factory trans cooler and it runs slightly lower then when I had the stock pan on there

Derale makes a deep pan with drain plug, sensor location and it has tubes that go through it for airflow /cooling.
