    It had a little play in it...need to fix the steering box!
  2. PilotHouse2500 started following Pilothouse/RAM3500 build
  3. PilotHouse2500
    prepping for the rest of the floor....and making "vroom vroom" sounds
  4. PilotHouse2500
    yep already loose and slidy to figure the firewall placement.
  5. PilotHouse2500
    ok, I'll try that this weekend when I have time. Right now the shifter is free sliding on the pivot linkage (I don't want to take anything apart I don't have to, those grommets SUCKED!). It's clean now because it's new...give 50k miles and ask me again!
  6. PilotHouse2500
    Thanks for the input guys! The little input lever in the circle, by the manual I think this is in "N". Can anyone confirm before I tighten the lock down and try to shift?
  7. PilotHouse2500
    ok, what I thought.....next question? How hard should it be to shift it? I had the TC gone thru by a local shop and they gave it a thumbs up prior to putting this all together. It seems like I'm missing something...don't want to bend/break anything!
  8. PilotHouse2500
    more progress....done with the 16ga...rest will be 18ga with some rolled in beads for support.
  9. PilotHouse2500
    ok, but can I put the TC into 2L, 4L or 4H w/o the engine on? Right now I have no driveshaft on, clutch installed or a or running engine to dink around with. Does the TC need a signal of any sort be it vacuum or electronic?
  10. PilotHouse2500
    one more question...sure JUST one! Should I be able to shift the TC without anything hooked up? I was thinking it would be similar to the trans where you can dink around with it w/o any power to it or anything. If I have the main selector shifter at "N", will the little lever on the TC be straight up vertical? It what the manual sorta shows, but not too clearly. Thanks!
  11. PilotHouse2500
    ok cool thanks, kinda figured the part that bolts on for the shifter is above the tunnel.
  12. PilotHouse2500
    So in building my truck (getting to building firewall and floor) I'm interested in how much room is needed for the shifter tower (and TC shifter) and gap between the trans and tunnel? Should I place the tunnel flush with the trans as it sits w/o the shifter tower bolted on/ just above the TC shifter bracket top?

    got a little further last night after work:
  14. PilotHouse2500
    engine firewall intrusion panel built (and forming buck)
  15. PilotHouse2500
    I plan a full rebuild and dyno of the engine before I really button things up, regardless the cab will be on and off several times yet.

    spent my weekend getting the requisite cuts on my fingers and stabs in as well...but I learned a few things this weekend: Minnesota sports had a good weekend (Wild win, Vikes win, Gopher hockey sweeps the Ugly Helmets, and Gopher football beat Penn to stay undefeated) My air shear handles 16ga no problem My electric nippers handles 16ga no problem My neighbor challenges me every step on this project to take it up one step better (more on that later when I can show a picture) Building a firewall is time consuming 4x8 16ga sheets are HEAVY and cantankerous.
