....if at all possible have the rebuild guy there for the start up. That way there is no "he say, we say" if something is not right. I certainly hope not,Bruce, but in this day and time it'd be nice if he was there.
...I learned the hard way but it may be a good idea to have the rear wheels off the ground just a little when you start it. Just in case something is "amiss" in the clutch/tranny area. We don't want your truck taking off into a wall.
All eyes, ears and even prayers are with you on this one, Bruce. Its been quite a journey.
