Well, both are stacked... :brows: Sorry, just couldn't resist. :roll: :laughin:

Run down the checklist and see what condition your truck is in. Check the condition of your shocks. Check your wheel bearings for slop Check all your steering components for any slop. Check your control arm bushings for cracking and mushiness. Check that your wheels are mounted properly Check the balance on your tires Check your track bar for slop. Anything I miss?

Get a digital camera and take LOTS of pics. Not necessarily for our enjoyment, but for keeping track of what you did and what goes where. Projects of this scope have a nasty habit of being delayed for various reasons and You'll need to be able to go back and finish it. Also, I highly recommend keeping a log of what you've done and maintaining a spreadsheet of what you need to do. Keeping everything well organized will pay off huge dividends in time and energy down the road. :cheers: Also keep in mind that the gas level sending wires were flipped in polarity with the introduction of the H.O. and you'll need to switch them to make full mean full and empty mean empty.

:D

Yup. Tried that dang grease trick too and only succeeded in spraying myself with grease when it squirted out. :mad: Then I proceeded to break the cheap puller tool I bought. But Autozone has a real nice pilot bearing tool that they loan out for free. I recommend that one. :D

Please do NOT even consider throwing any money at rebuilding a Peugeot transmission. The parts are insanely expensive and it's a real bear to work on. And then even after all that money, it can self-destruct again in short order. Definitely not worth touching.

Under the hood ... or under the dash? I would probably sprinkle it around in the dash area where we thought the leak was before. The water will make some unmistakable trails through it. :D And the floor thing was in my Dakota. Water was puddling under the passenger side footwell but originating from the middle of the back of the cab. Quite a journey I'd say. I doubt I would ever have figured it out without the baby powder.

Also make sure that the fluid level is at the right height. My old peugeot did all sorts of weird things when the level dropped.

baby powder...

You need to host your photos online somewhere and then hotlink in their address. Try Comanche Club Image Hosting Both are free. :cheers:

Yeah, looks like both leading teams couldn't quite close the deal in their respective 4th games. :roll:

Ooooo, now there's an idea... :brows:

:agree:

Not safe enough for me. You would be the first. :D Oh, and while we;re on the subject, this is the harness I bought Carly for wheeling: It clips into the buckled seat belt and does a great job of keeping her butt in the seat and her head out of the dash.

Oh, and feel free to snap LOTS of pictures and start a blog about your truck in the "projects" forum . :D

Welcome to the club! :cheers: What pipe bender do you have and what type of tubing are you using? What degree bends are you attempting?

But will that fuel hose hold the pressure of the compressed air? I appreciate it, but don't rack your brains over this too much guys. The hoses snake their way through the engine compartment and I'm certain that only an exact replacement will work. This one isn't mine, but it's the same hose and a similar failure:

Update: I "fixed" the busted hose with some plumbing stretchy tape, pipe hanging strap and a couple hose clamps. It should hold until I get a replacement. Also I got a hold of the guy with the used hose and he's giving it to me for only the shipping costs. :D Jeepers are awesome! I'm going to give him a CC magnet with the payment. :cheers:

The guys at ring-pinion.com might know. If you find some part numbers, you could do what I usually do and punch the numbers into google and see what comes up. :D

Luck may have been what got me through the 3000mile/3week trip, but determination was what made it happen. Well, determination along with a credit card and throwing all common sense into the wind. More than one person said I was nuts. :roll: But I hit the road anyways, just me, my dog and my MJ. I met up with ComancheClub members along the way and wheeled in Moab, Colorado and Illinois. My best bud even flew out to Denver and we went hiking in the mountains for the middle week. Lots of camping, only 3 stays in motels and I even spent 3 nights in the truck (none planned though). If you want it, you gotta go get it. :D

Ironic, no? :roll: Don't worry though, my 90 and 88 are waiting patiently in line. Problem is that other stuff keeps breaking and cutting in line ahead of them. :( But I've got a huge pile of parts and lots of plans. :D Someday I might actually get to them... :popcorn:

Oh yeah. It was definitely unpleasant. :headpop:

Vents for an 00 regular cab Dak are located in the back wall. That's all I know for sure.

Traction isn't hard to find at Moab. :D At one point in time I put even more into them to make it easier to steer (got a minispool up front).

It's a TJ trans, complete with TJ shifter. :D Also the trans is an inch or so higher than stock. It's like an anti-racing shifter. :D
