904 trans cooler.

Not yet, I've been working on the shop truck.
Y pipe dont match up to the new shorty headers, no amount of prying with a long bar would do it. So I went to cut the Y pipe and make it work. Well some genius welded the Y pipe mount on backwards so it will not come out. Also dam thing has about 6 feet of 3 inch exhaust that is STUCK on at the slip joint. Lots of lube and LOTS of beating with the big dead blow, some swearing, some Tacos off the truck and bottle of squirt right out the ice. (I actually thought of you as I grabbed it)

Out comes the death wheele, cut off mounting brackets, split pipe in the center and bolt it up. (Super fun by the way with one guy! Lining up the bolts, holding the flange and getting the nut on is almost superhuman)
Next tack weld brackets and new pipe location. Unbolt the entire mess and drag it over to the welding bench. Slap it on the bench and realise I only tack welded ONE side of the new slip joint so the other side moved when I set it on the bench.

More swearing now. Drag it back under the truck, more feets of superhuman bolt manipulation, tack the other side, back off, back to the bench, finish weld, back on the truck and my day was done.

Then when the women asks "how was your day?" As I'm covered in old dirt, soot and fury.
I just smile and say, "not bad love, how was yours?"

:)

First off watch those Truck tacos they go down good, but they can be tricky coming back out! LOL "fusing with fire!!"
I found the customers oil leak in a 68 Pontiac pretty quickly. He says it wasn't sure if it was coming out of the front main seal or where the pan meets the timing cover? He started to get a little adamant about wanting to know which one and I laughed and said the timing cover needs to come off either way and he conceded. The bolts were so loose and the RTV was so minimal that it wasn't very hard job and it was quite easy to see where it was leaking. Like all amateurs no extra in the corners and guess where the problem was....
