Have a power steering leak?

input shaft on power steering box has a groove in it, tried to polish it up best I could

I could not find a new replacement online, nor a shaft repair sleeve

Going to have a whole week of no rain here and great spring weather. Going to need more pepper also.

Got a front body mount dabbed up, if I get ahold of some more 1 inch tube I will look at running it across the frame rails but the square tube wouldn’t fit so I tied it into the winch mount/bumper I made

I love being able to make progress, I also love the fact that I’m so close to road worthy

My truck has been making a helluva noise from the bellhousing area that comes and goes with pushing the clutch in and out so I bought a new throw out bearing...... something tells me I am on the right path when these fell out of the bell housing as I started to split the Transmission from the engine

Pretty sure you had another 100,000 miles of use out of it. Just don’t use the clutch.

Man I read your reply at like 845 and was telling myself I wish the input shaft would line up and it go together as easy as it came apart....

I’m pretty sure at that moment God told the angels hold my beer because just a slight turn on the driveshaft and the whole thing went pop and in it went together as easy as pie

And the clutch feels a million times better now

Well at least I got my truck home today lol I used a paper clip to crank it, I’m pretty sure it’s the ignition switch because I was able to jumper the starter relay pin 87 to 30 to get it to fire up, got to busy trying to get a raised bed garden started, I’m already behind on that

Texted my mom today and told her I still need to bleed the brakes on the Jeep and she volunteered to help lol, I was like sweet.... she lives in Memphis it’s a long drive for her
