well I just cant win. ever since I bought the truck my driveline was always angled at the U joint by the carrier bearing. never questioned it much at the time. until this episode. so the shop that installed my transmission must not have tightened all the bolts on the crossmember. as the passenger side all came lose and now its hanging down. which made my driveline angle just a little bit more at the u joint and hit my gas tank puncturing a hole in it.... So I redrilled the holes in the carrier bearing mount and moved it all over about an inch so now the driveline goes straight down the truck. I patched the hole in the tank, and now I just need to go get 5 nuts and bolts to bolt the crosssmember back to the frame. and then fill it back up with diesel since I lost about 50 bucks worth of fuel... I just cant win I tell ya. trucks cursed. on top of that it has another bad oil leak.
I also feel like my trans is running way to hot in OD. cruising down the freeway in OD at 70mph I can easily see temps at 260 degrees. even with my probe being in the hot line, this seems way to hot to me. specially when I was pulling a hill in 3rd at 55 and only seeing 160 degrees. cruising in 3rd at 55 I can see temps as low as 140 on the hot line. any input on that?
other than those little twerks, trucks been running pretty good. picked up a better set of 35's I need to get mounted up. Couple random pictures.

have most the kinks finally worked out, but theres still a couple aggravating me enough to put me on the verge of selling the thing. But I've got an idea and a plan, and possibly a nice new huge shop. if it works out... something cool in the works soooon.
