Ok so , mt speedogear housing is leaking alot of transmission fluid...it does have the "O" ring but didnt see the inner gasket that holds the gear...and i think thats where the transmission fluid is coming out from....im going to have to pull it out and probley get a new steal one...i might have an aluminum one that they dont use n e more..I did my research and called around to see why they leak from there so much, they said that GM made those housing horriable and never found away to seal up that housing correctly...But i guess with this new Steal housing it should stop it from leaking as much as it does know..

Im going to jack up that side so that i wont loose so much transmission fluid this time...it gets expensive all this dayum fluid..

plus i cant find the dayum wire that goes in this dayum lower radiator hose...im just going to go with the FLEX hose that has very good rubber thickness and nice big wire inside of FLEX hose...$14.99...

Oh yea i need a New tire too...I guess the owner before me had them on a Maro and ripped off a chunk of tire and the wire is coming out....wow i never seen those wires coming out the rear tire...so thats whats happening right know..

Elko down for cpl days..

Ok guys...so today went to autozone and picked up a FLEX lower radiator hose...and I can't tell u this, they are made to last a long time...the guy there told me about them and recommended it..

Has very thick rubber, super heavy duty spring and looks like it was made to go a long time!!!

My lower radiator hose problem is fixed....I let it sit for about 15mins on, fans turned on and all looked good..no leaks and looks like I'm going to be running smooth and cool....

Ordered and I need to go pick up that new steal housing for the speed cable and get that done on weekend...oh I also need that rear tires...wires coming all out..!not safe...keep y'all updated
