[QUOTE="Dave_Nevada, post: 1497932, member: 29749"] Some stuff to avoid and fix if you can: Don't use another needle bearing input shaft bearing. That bearing literally ruins the input shaft. Fix it with a solid bronze bearing, Dorman 690-039 Fix the Clutch master cylinder shaft right now. It's not a matter of if, it's when it breaks. Use a heim joint setup. There's plenty of instruction on Youtube detailing this repair. Be sensible on your selection of clutch packs. Know your limitations! You don't need an $1800 dual disk setup for a casual use truck. If you think you do, well, you're just being ridiculous. Get rid of the stock up-pipes. Use the bellows type, do not use the donut ring type. Service your drive-lines regularly. Honestly, you really should be looking at them every few years. This will save you a lot of money and heartache in the future. Change the U-Joints and watch the balance slugs on the drive-line. You can ruin a good pinion bearing in your rear end and crack the main ZF6 case if it's whacked out. Remove the steering column covers and insulate the cruise control harness. (Fuse 19 blowing, lousy engine performance). Inspect your throwout arm for cracks. While it's out, weld additional steel rod supports to the backside to enhance rigidity. [/QUOTE]
