Bummer you are going to sell it. You should start a build thread for the 3500 in the Other Vehicles section. I'm wheeling the Badlands this weekend it you want to go. Although if you are trying to sell it, I doubt you wanna wheel it...

 

Yeah I'll prob do a build thread for the next truck, mby not at this forum, but I haven't found a good forum yet for Chevys. Haha I might just do a build thread on this forum and call it good. I'll deff have another XJ down the road

 

Welp just changed the oil after 200 miles and changed coolant and flushed everything and threw a few more new hoses on. The hoses were a pain to get on but i believe all the little coolant leaks are all gone now. no oil dripping or anything. I'm very happy bout the end result. The drained oil all looked great and still fresh. I really wanted to make sure no little pieces of metal drained out from the rebuild and everything looked perfect. I got some fresh oil in her and now got her parked in the driveway and hopefully going for a nice drive later. I will be rebuilding the brake master cylinder soon also. Any recommendations for rebuild kits? Thanks guys!

 

Great job!

 

Thanks man I appreciate it! Here's a pic of how it sits tonight:

 

Looks awesome, nice work

 

Thanks man! I just tore into the brakes this morning before work. I got the whole new master cylinder on and I'm going to be buying all new brake calipers this evening to put on the Jeep. Once the brake work is done I'll be looking into selling it. Haha it's almost to the point where its a reliable DD and I go selling it. Oh well, I like working on this so it works for me. I'll get some pics of the new calipers and the master cylinder on here soon.

 

fullsizechevy . com/forums is great forum for trucks, it has a similar set up to CF, in case you're still looking for a chevy truck forum. jeep looks great! i sold my c1500 before i got my jeep, i will eventually get another one.

 

Thanks man I appreciate it. I've been looking for the right k1500 for a while. I'm finally serious and gonna start a new project. CF is such a great forum where everyone is helpful and friendly. I haven't been able to find many forums with both of that haha. Some forums out there you say one little thing that they don't like and everyone eats you alive. I'll do some more reading on fullsizechevy and see if I like it.

Back to the Jeep. I had to re-bleed the brakes today. I believe the first round I left a tiny air bubble in there somewhere and I just wasn't satisfied with the braking performance. Now I got it locking up the front tires in the dirt. Not to bad for having 33s. I never could get the rears to lock up but I think that's just stupid drum brakes with big tires. I didn't expect them to lock up anyhow. Oh well, I'll post any more progress I make with it and hopefully get some more pics of it!
