Re-doing the axle boots on my bus. Two ripped boots on the trip to Moab kept me from any off-road driving. Waiting on Napa to get them in from Denver. Got everything cleaned and ready.

I did the same job this summer when I was up there (on my 59DD).

You’ll be stoked to have everything clean and tight for the ride back. Good times in Moab !

I’m home, a little later than expected, but home. Leaving Flagstaff I was still half asleep I guess. Got on I40 west instead of I17 South. 🙁 Everything looked pretty similar to tell the truth. Wasn’t until I paid attention to the GPS, and it said 305miles to Tucson. At that point I just said lets see what I40 to Kingman looks like. 🙂 I put the hammer down and ran 75 all the way to the Wickenburg exit. Bus is a beast!

Yesterday my transmission was making noise when I pulled out of Flagstaff. This morning it sounded real bad in neutral. Think a main shaft bearing or something is gone. Got to pull motor and get it checked out. While I’m in there got to get a stronger pressure plate on the clutch. Hopefully be ready for BBB.

Working on it. Tonight I pulled the wire harness and fuel lines. I was running all day a work, so was to gassed to go much farther. I’ll have it out tomorrow.

Got a heavier pressure plate coming, also a 17mm sway bar. Then I traded Pat Peet a bike chain for a type 3 engine lid. I’ll weld that in while waiting for the trans to be fixed. Also going to look at relocating the heater core up front.

Wasn’t that trans just rebuilt recently?  Hopefully it is still under warranty.

Yes it was. Hopefully the guy helps me out a bit. It’s been over a year, but less than 12,000 miles. We were talking, and he seems to think it’s a main shaft bearing. I’ll be dropping off trans to him tomorrow morning.
