Also, I'm still working on things like chatbox, etc so hopefully those will be working in the next week or two.

Well that was scary

Well I changed the coolant elbows and since I had it laid up decided why not put on that sway bar I got off that police cruiser, so I undo that tie rod ends slipped it in put it back together. Took it for a ride and it was shaking, bucking like all hell, I decided since it had been sitting since march it just needed to run a bit so I kick it up figure I will knock it loose, it gets to 80 mph and a lot of vibrations, then
I remember I got called away when putting it back to get back together, and I only tightened the castle nuts two turns, and obviously no cotter pins. So we slowdown get off at the exit and head back Home S-L-O-W-L-Y. Apparently those things are very important.
 


umm the whole measure twice cut once thing, that's check check and recheck when it comes to turning a wrench! My question is why so fast if you could feel the vibration?
 
Well not sure if I was lucky think it was more like God was saying; "no not yet,."
As for why so fast I know you will not believe this but the vibration would calm down and then it would feel like either the tranny did not want to shift, or some thing like a caliper was stuck, figured I could kick it loose. If I gunned it it would clear up a bit, and the is the part that has me going what the hell?
