Brake Boost
So I been having trouble with rear brakes (DRUM) real sensitive you just touch and you can feel them grab, rain, gravel road you got to baby them. Its like the pedal is right there at the top supplying rear brakes before the front disc. Well I installed new injectors and noticed oil leak under boost. Can this be the cause of rear brakes being so touchy?

I want to tell yall something, have a plan because whats happing here can happen anywhere. It may not be water it could be anything. When I heard this was coming I went through the house and looked over food, snacks and water. I went a got two extra cases of water and said to myself do I really need the water? My first thought was someone may need it more than I. I have a lot of water stock piled. I was out the day before doing this, getting welding machine ready and gas. I looked around and nobody is stocking up, no gas or anything, their walking around with their nose stuck on their phone. We have some good neighbors too, the Cajun Navy is helping with boats and trucks, big trucks lol. Approx 2000 911 calls per hour. My son in law lost his 2016 Dodge 2500 its about 10' under water.

Got Burned on NV4500
Installed new shift tower and no help, I have his text messages saved. He said he was rebuilding a new top and he would ship it to me. Course that was last Wed. or Thurs. and nothing yet. I hope the top plate works, its flat out hard to get in 1st and 2nd, everything else is ok. I didnt mess with the clutch its been fine so I just left it alone. Installed a new stock South Bend about 100k back with the slave cylinder been good to go since. Are all shift towers the same? The reason I ask is because the housing is like a hard plastic. It just dont seem HD.

Got Burned on NV4500
Like I said at this point I am a cooked duck, I got to have my truck. He said he would send me a new shift tower. It has a new shifter in it, he seems to think its defective because it has no detent no spring to it. If you didnt know how to shift it you couldnt find the gears its that bad. I will put shifter in tomorrow and see what happens.

Got Burned on NV4500
It was pressure washed, the sludge was in the tight nooks and corners. I had no choice, I have tractors to haul and hay to cut, If I miss anymore time out of the field I'll be in the hole. It has a one year warranty that I dont think it will ever make it to the end of.

Got Burned on NV4500
My old trans had 350k and still had good detent between gears, let go of shifter and it still had spring in it in other words. It just didnt wont to stay in 5th gear. So I find a rebuild shop in San Antonio, 975 bucks, said a lot of new parts didnt come out and say what new parts, but anyway. I get it home and the first thing I do is open the fill plug and have a look see. Well I should have stopped at the sludge on the in side of the plug and took it back, but NOOOO I keep going, take the plastic cap off where the shift tower goes and there is more paint on the in side than there is on the out, and a little more sludge. I am thinking I should call the SOB, well he's closed on Saturday so I am going to leave a message for him to call Monday when he get there. Answering machine is full no room to leave message, so I call his buddy, same thing, I call 5 more people in the directory same thing. They dont want to here the ****. Get trans bolted up, fill her up with oil, install drive shaft and it wont go all the way in you can feel something sponge like push real hard and see it spring back out. Freaking pissed now, I know there is something in there. Pull seal out and look in and some worthless POS put a seal out of something in there knowing it was going to be a problem. Anyway get it together and take her for test drive. Wont go in 1st. I jack with it long enough figure I got all the paint off the linkage in the top and it shifts hard doesnt want to shift smooth. The other problem is the shift pattern is like its bent, instead of being like a H pattern it sets side ways, in other words the passenger could shift gears just fine. It would almost be funny but its sad. Slop out of this world even with a new shift tower, no detent, if you never drove one of these trucks you would never find the gears. I would plaster his name but I figure I should see what he has to say tomorrow.

Clutch Kit
It would not go in any gear with the eng running. Ok check this out, Goes out the next day and pulls trans inspects everything see's nothing wrong puts it back together and it works like a champ. WTH I asked him if he tried it before he pulled it and he said no. I still think it had air and over night the air found its way out. In other words bleed its self with reservoir being up hill. I dont know I was'nt there so chalk it up to the gremlins.

Clutch Kit
Yeah I just talked to him a few min. ago, it makes no since. He also put new master and slave cylinder. That brings to mind air in line?

Clutch Kit
Posting for a friend, he bought a clutch kit, came with flywheel, clutch, pressure plate, slave cylinder, throw out bearing. Now he cant get it in gear, no reverse. The first thing I thought was clutch backwards. Will it bolt up if clutch is in wrong?
