Drop the tranny out and find out why the overdrive is not working as it should be.

Re: What's on your upcoming to do list?
Most of my "to do" list doesn't involve the Bump (Unfortunately).
EVERYthing around here needs tires (again), Kat's Civic is coming up on a major service (timing belt and so forth) and the Acura needs some more small (but time consuming) stuff.
Honestly, it wouldn't take much to push me over the edge and get a couple (more) new cars.
One of these days it would be nice to get to do some "fun" car fixing...

Finish my basement remodel.
Finish other odds and ends around the house
Wait for the permafrost to thaw outside where I can get back in the garage.

Make sure anything you may want to do to your suspension is done first. Otherwise it could cause alignment issues and such.Carolina 68 wrote:Brakes and tires, first, then.......

Clean out the bed, wipe down the inside of the cab...including glass, then a wash and wax. Start investigating a steering wheel swap to a smaller wheel...figure a way to put the seat back another inch....or, worse case scenario, lose some weight so my truck doesn't unbutton my shirt when I drive.

On the 70 F250, I need to replace the center carrier bearing and tank diverter valve. On the 70 F100, I need to fix the steering arm and carb linkage

Re: What's on your upcoming to do list?
Replace the the by-pass hose on the 460 in the 71 F100. Got out today and smelled that sweet smell and saw a small puddle on the water pump.
Get a new horn pad bar since the old one finally came apart.
Get the seat re-upholstered.

Re: What's on your upcoming to do list?
On my 72 this year.
1) Remove the overload springs. I'm tired of that banging sound.
2) New exhaust. Leaking y-pipe gets on my nerves at stop lights.
3) Install sliding rear window. I love 360 a/c.

Get the steering fixed once and for all if it means my T-Return goes to replacing everything.
