@Robert Winkworth That will work. If you do spray foam it will provide 6-7r value per inch. If you do loose fill it will provide 3.5 r value per inch. You want r50 for your roof that will save you a lot of heat in the winter. Most places that are built are r30/40. Consider that loose fill will be easier to work around if you need to do any electrical, ducting or ceiling modifications in the future.

@Robert Winkworth just talking to the wife and she is saying r60 is the higher end for insulation for your ceiling. She works as an sco so she’s involved with that stuff all the time.

Well I got it all back together, after I realized that the 5/6 shift fork could be put in backwards… was wondering why the pin holes were not lining up. After 30 minutes of realizing how dumb I was, I got it back together. Shifted all gears and rotated got it back in the truck, that was a challenge, and again idiot move #2 I realize this -if you want to turn the Input shaft by hand by using the rear output shaft, do not put it in 1st or 2nd… lol the torque multiplier of those gears works the opposite on the driven end… smacked my head and put it in 5th and was finally able to turn the shaft, and align the splines. Being on call I’ve had to drop this project right in the middle Of things multiple times, but earlier this afternoon I was able to take it for a test drive I drove literally around my block, probably only 100 yards going from reverse, to 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Had it idling in the driveway with my ears open trying to see if I could hear any problems. Sounded good. Got called out again so I’ll have to take it for a real test drive tomorrow. Plan is to get it to full operating temp and make sure the shit doesn’t hit the fan. Previously the fluid never went beyond 140f around the city, and never beyond 160f highway, and never beyond 180F towing. I have had a gauge installed for quite some time. She has Mobil atf4 in it now, will be good for winter, cause the synchros just love it. Tried a 50/50 of atf4 and higher weight gear oil, shifting not so fun particularly on cold days. Anywho here is a pic of my tranny jack setup, which has now worked for the second time.

Well took it out for a 1 hour highway/stop and go traffic ride. Temps Noticed right away that it does not heat up as quick. I was almost convinced the gauge sensor was not hooked up correctly. Normally it would get to around 140 within 20-30 mins even in cold weather. Today it took about an hour to get to 130. Noise Gear rollover is still there in neutral but there is no longer a scraping/vibrating sound. I could sit at a light in neutral not worrying if the trans was going to explode. Small things right? Highway noise is reduced as well, cruising at 120 was noticeably quieter. Shifting Shifting into first always required a bit more force than the other gears. But every other gear shifting while driving was much smoother. I remember a noticeable push on the stick and pop feeling when going from 4th to 5th before, that is gone now. Project complete with success, thanks for the views/comments :D Next up transfer case

Yea he is hard on it. But sorry your previous candles lit video completely owns this one in my humble opinion :) lol light the advent candle one… catholic school coming back to me

@Robert Winkworth just letting you know you are the king still lol

@Eric Fuller what does it take to write your own files?

@Robert Winkworth second that

I still have that block that needs to be resurfaced, cleaned and a sleeve for #6 I’m hoping to bring it in before Christmas.
