Yeah they suck to do. I did both motor mounts winter of 2022 when it was 10°F outside. That was fun. Luckily they're holding up still. I'm just taking wheelhousings and fenders off to have more access to them.

 

Replaced battery and fuel pressure sensor. No big deal.

 

Added a trans cooler and trans temp gauge in my 89 S15 Jimmy.

 

Clean install. Really great.

 

Thanks, I tried to be the least invasive as i could. I needed to drill one hole on the inside of the core support next to the radiator even with the upper trans line. I planned to drill all the way through but there was internal bracing inside the core support. I was able to utilize the factory hole on the face of the core support for the upper hose and I was able to snake it through the face and out of the hole I drilled on the inside of the core support and connect to the factory return line.

For the gauge I used the useless shelf to mount the gauge using 3M VHB Tape to secure the bracket. I drilled a hole in the end of the shelf to feed the wires through for the gauge. I used the plugs to tap into the fuse box connection for ignition and lamps power for the gauge. In the pic it is the wires with the blue tape.

 

Nicely done!!

 

Thanks, Now all I need is a transmission. I have ordered a 700R4 from Automatic Transmission Warehouse, Ebay seller who is building the trans for me, (Trans Go Shift Kit, Towing Package, Using my billet front pump and tail housing. Using a 4 bolt trans cover case, No core needed. The seller paid the shipping for my old trans}

 

Removed the parking brake assembly, soaked it in Evaporust followed by 3 coats of clear coat than reinstalled it. This was in my 89 S15 Jimmy.

 

That looks great!

 

Thanks, It was a pain to remove and a pain to re-installs,
Removing issues: 1. Getting the brake cable released out of the bracket. 2. Locating and getting access to the 3 bolts.
Installing Issues. 1. Installing the 3 mounting bolts. 2. Re-installing the brake cable into the brake cable into the bracket. Installing the brake cable ferule into the bracket. (Cable is under spring tension.)
3. Getting the gromet on the brake cable reseated in the firewall opening.
Note: To release the fingers on the brake cable I used a short piece of copper tubing that fit perfectly over the cable and compressed the fingers.
