    Sorry to hear you met the unfamous Fuddle. Contact CircleD and see if they can help you out. Maybe they can rebuild the Fuddle for your application for fair money.

    if I can get ahold of one of the spacers that came on the cranks of the 6.0s after 2001 then I should be good. if I cant get ahold of one of those then I will need to get the pilot extended.

    update.

    got everything back in late tuesday, installed the spacer and 80e flexplate, got the converter spacing right, new seals, and a new shaft o-ring.

    there was a puddle of tranny fluid on the floor after a minute of running it. this thing is going to be the death of me.

    so tranny is back on the floor of the garage, I looked at it as good as I could while it was running and its coming out of the front seal. hope it doesnt run too much to fix, Ii'm going to take my 2 converters and the tranny to a shop on monday and have them find out what will work.

    Mine did the same thing after I cracked a bell housing. The misalignment tore up the front pump bushing so it allowed the converter to push out of position just enough that it wore out the front seal. It poured a stream of fluid out when running.

    Rebuilt front pump and a weld repair on the bell housing crack fixed the problem on mine.

    Your previous converter issue probably wore out the front pump bushing.

    finally started working on her again, tore out the 6.0 and that tranny and put in a cammed 5.3 with the right 4l60e and put in a circle d converter. whole new drivetrain works like a champ so far, getting a tune this week or next week and putting the 6.0 in the new project truck "Abby"

    well guys pics and updates, ran the fuel line, put the intake together(mostly), and put the front end back on. on to the pics.




    I have burnout vids that are still loading, should be up a little later. they arent the best, but i'll get better ones when the exhaust is done and its tuned.

    on a side note, all my family (mostly my wonderful wife) pitched in to get me a toolbox! so i can finally organize my garage!



    "Abby" for those of you that care to know is my 84 c10 that I got from a friends mom who bought it off the lot in 84, she has a 305 with an rv cam and edelbrock 4bbl thats backed by a turbo 350 tranny. these arent the most recent pics, she has a new grille(stock replacement) and I just picked up some sport mirrors and she'll be in primer soon so I can get her rust spots(all suraface) and get get som body work done, and I will be giving her a 3/5 or 4/5 drop. I'll post a link to her build thread for anyone who cares. she will get the 6.0 with forged internals and either an 80e or t56.

    i'll start a thread on the 84 when the s10 is done. there is a ton of stuff planned for her.

    took her through emissions last night and got her to pass the 3rd time I went. I forgot to re-enable some codes I took out when I first had her running. the lady at the emissions place made me laugh. she opened up the gas door to check my gas cap and its no longer there. but she just started searching in the gas door like it was just hideing from her or something. she looked at me like i had a third eye when I pulled it out of the bed.

    there was a few kids that were working there that kept pointing at my truck and talking to eachother. finally one of them came over and asked if it was 4 linked. and I told him it was just the link style bars. I talked with him a little while and he told me he loved the truck and it sounded great, I guess he had a 99 dakota r/t with a 408 in it. I went to ask him more about his truck but he got called back to work.

    I need wider rubber, when I get her to stick in 1st she loses traction again when she hits 2nd. and she is still untuned for the most part, all I have done is adjust the shift points and pressures. but luckily the stock engine tune is keeping me at a safe AFR, I'm picking up a new battery for my laptop and am going to start tuning the engine this weekend. I want to get her to the track but I dont think i'll be able to this weekend, but I will soon. If I dont hit 12s i'll be adding a wet shot, I might add one anyways just for kicks and killing turbos.

    more pick and vids to come. I can promise a good tire smoking burnout this weekend, hopefully track vids next weekend.
