Wee break y’all
Been runnin’round mad, not angry, more ‘nutzo’ mad-like.
Making tools,,, Used that tapered peice of steel that I didn’t need to measure the Pinion Depth and turned it into a mount for checking my backlash when I get to that point again. the magnetic mount works, but can be downright frustrating to get and hold in place.
Ordering parts,,, Pinion bearing (in hand) Crush bearing Eliminator (those things are do-able when you can ground and center underneath the vehicle,,, when you are on your back with gravel digging into odd areas (like your head and shoulders) while trying to use 300ft/lb to crush that sleeve ‘just that little bit more and NO MORE’,,, Fuck that!)
Once that Eliminator is in hand, I will get on with doing this job right for the last time (fingers crossed) That sleeve is due to arrive July 3, so I guess you know what my holiday is going to consist of,,, Fine by me,,, my time with friends is slotted for the following week.
In the meantime, I have been ‘practicing’ setting that pinion gear using the old one from the donor case. Playing with a different location for the shims (between case and race, not under that bearing and gear,,,, Saw this on a chrysler in a vid and thought it would work better, no chance of screwing a bearing to change the shim. So far, seems good to go.)
AND TAKING NOTES!!!! lots of notes and measurements getting jotted down. I know that numbers don’t match reality, but they sure do make reaching certain realities less guesswork and more straightforward. That’s been my homework and the blog went the wayside (till lack of Daylight left me blind,,, LOL)
Told y’all that I am going to be an expert on GM 7.5 rear-ends before this is all said and done.
Currently Buff is a touch noizy,, not grinding,,, just a little whine on decel and not getting louder. YET,,, I think the main pinion bearing was more worn than I thought, because that is where the noize is coming from (checked with wheels in air and using a stethoscope) And there is always the possibility that my ‘lucky’ pull wasn’t so lucky, and I damaged them slightly.
So in the meantime between when I can dive in headfirst (When everything is on hand.) I take it easy on the ol’gurl and don’t do any heavy driving,,,, keep it close to home incase things go from whine to LOUD.

Tonight is the ‘debate’ of the Century. Talking to Da tonight, He feels strongly that no matter how it turns out, the whole thing is gonna come back and bite the Demoncrap party in the ass, with big nasty hobnailed teeth dripping in arsenic.
Me, Purt much DON’T CARE at this stage. The more I dig into other aspects of the bigger picture, I think the outcome of this year are already in motion, and the ‘designers’ are playing fiddlesticks with no clue how REAL people actually function. Too many manipulations of Psyops taking place trying to sway thinking and it keeps backfiring on them.
This read from Dr Malone is worth a read and a thought about what is really taking place behind the scenes, not just in our Federal Shaministration, but world-wide. Fair-warning, its a quite long read, but illuminates things that aren’t obvious if you are only paying attention to the Kabuki Theater on our shores.
More tomorrow after I digest the events of tonight (if I can even catch it,,, seems CNN is denying access to all,,,, can only stream on their site or via the cable feeds of thier choosing. That alone screams ‘set-up’ to me.)
Keep on livin’,,, For as long as you can,,,
(Feelin’ my 90’s today,,,, Turn it up!!!)
