what did you do in your garage / shop and or driveway today ?


Oh yea, I never thought about the shifter part. Yes, I think the T56 fits pretty much where a 4L60 would fit other than that stupid reverse lockout business. When I put the T56 in my 94 Impala the floor had a slight massage to make clearance for that.

Is the ZF the same length as a T56?

Moved the compressor from the house to the shop,wired it up and installed the air lines. Would have been done a week ago but my perimeter drains thought they were more important. Backed up into the crawl space!cry

Polished some stainless. Seems Dougie didn't want his door trim so he sent it to me along with a bunch of 4dr trim. Figured I might as well clean it up before sending it back (only finished 1). Guess hes going to have to do the rest by hand,only one though.....the other will have a beer in it!!

Thanks I'm good . biggrin 

I called a guy before Christmas, and verbally contracted him, to come blow out our main driveway

By Jan 1st he had never came .  I blew it out 10 times .   

We called and he said he would not come for 3-4 inches in drive and 12 inches at end . 

what a jerk....

 

I guess I'll manhandle the blower until I die .

Yeah, the prairies are awful, it just snows all winter here. Manitoba is a horrible place to live.

Actually, hold on a second. I'm still waiting to clear the driveway for the first time this winter.....

I'm wondering if I'm going to wear any paint off the new blower I bought today.

      No .   I just need someone to clean out my drive at the same time they do 10 others on this street

 

     My snow blower is great .  but my 69 year old body screams with aches the next day

 Yes, and not a unreliable jerk. Did you write-up a contract with him? If not, I'd bail and get your neighbour's plow-boy.

With a 2 day weekend at home I wired a 220 plug in for the construction heater so I could finish off insulating the garage

If your house is heated with forced air electric, all you need is one of these.
