The Official Hot Rod Thread - Part 4: Burnouts for Distance

[churchmouse]

Jegs finally have my last order coming my way. I have not touched the 64 in about a wee because of this plus my guy needs to catch up on my money. Always follow the money.

Is it a World Class or Non World Class

World Class

World Class

G Force was always the name for T5.
That said all the guys I know that run em hard at least upgraded to the 3550.
The T5 is kinda hard to upgrade.
@d.kaufman would probably have some more insight if you reach out to him.

I'm not necessarily looking to upgrade, just repair the current unit. I need to call a few places today and see what a rebuild kit is going to look like price wise. I've heard that a lot of shops still carry T5 rebuild kits but don't advertise them on their sites anymore.

I've bought stuff from here before. They helped me with some stuff for a BW Super T10 that was pretty specific to only a couple years.

I was looking at them. They seem to have the best prices on a master rebuild kit, too.

Take it down and look at everything. You will most likely need the master kit but maybe not. The T-5 is the Saginaw of 5 speeds.

Back 4 or so years ago they were very helpful over the phone also, can't speak for nowadays though.

I'm pulling it entirely apart tonight. I gotta clean up my other table so I have a place to put everything. I watched a teardown video last night. Makes me happy I bought a press to rebuild the differential lol. It's gonna help with this 5 speed, too!

Sorry to hear about your continuing trials and tribulations with JEGS, I wonder though if it isn't a result of the scamdemic? I'm starting to see a lot of orders personally that show in stock then the delivery date gets bumped a few times before the vendor finally cancels due to inability to fulfill the order.

Definitely a two fold problem though; don't show it in stock and DAMN SURE don't show it shipped if you can't produce. I've had this happen several times lately. When quizzed about potential delivery dates or in stock dates the answer is the same, they don't know. Welcome to ****ing "MADE IN CHINA"!

The young lady I spoke with said they can not get anybody to show up at work. And when they do it is lazy time. To many months on the couch playing video games on the Gov Teet. Add to this they made more money staying home and you have the end result of the scamdemic. Lazy ****s.

I really want to see the trans temp gauge on the Security Ford......

That was 5th gear too.

Wow

 

[churchmouse]

Got 1 part of my Jegs stuff today. Should get the rest tomorrow.

I finished up the pulley system. All the spacers and adjusters are proper. Belts are on it and tensioned.

 

[ws6guy]

Cancelled my Jeg’s order on drag radials!
Could not give me a estimate on a delivery date WTF?

This is everywhere my friend. People are making bank sitting at home.

I didn't read the story but I believe the Governor of Montana said that they were going to suspend all unemployment benefits for this very reason. They have thousands of unfilled positions that people aren't even applying for. If I find the link later I'll add it.
