Okay my time to vent I woke up late for work...Went out to the truck and got it started(no small feat in itself ask Mike aka SEV ) Only to roll back out of the driveway and let out the clutch do double clutch it thinking I am in neutral (damn 43 year old shifters) When KABOOM there goes the U-Joints lift blocks and motor mounts...It was so Violent and spectacular the valve cover hit the hood (straight 6 with approx 6 to 8 inches of clearance to the hood). The rear passenger tire was sitting about 6 inches behind the drivers side from the live blocks and u bolt letting loose. Oh I should have just gone back to bed. I felt like I was chasing my tail at work getting pulled from project to project so nothing actually got done and found out I have to Work OT and have to CANCLE CCB (damnit just I think my ducks are getting in a row somebody comes by and hits them with a shotgun) . When I got home is the only thing that started to turn my way and for this I ought to earn the POMOFO award of the day Frustrated and surveying the actual damage I noticed the driveshaft given to me from Blue 91 with the 2.3 and tranny and what nots I got from him well sombitch its the same Joint small cups and small crosses both ways well I start thing about how I can at least get it in the driveway and out of the street. Start digging around find a few ubolts from this and that get the axle re-centered (no lift blocks though :( ) Well I just got done POMOFO in it back together looks like a low rider now considering I had 6 inches of lift on it no only the front is in the air. I got it in the driveway though :) . BUT the big upsetting thing is because of the truck and the overtime I am not going to CCB> :( :( :( :( :( :(
