Well it was time for some maintenance this week. My speedo has not been working for a while so I decided to track down the problem. I found out the speedo gear on the tailshaft had come loose and stripped the inner ring out so it no longer stays in place. I dropped the drive shaft and removed the trans tail shaft cover and then removed the gear located on the tail shaft. It was completely out of place amd no longer making contact with the speedo gear that attaches to the speedo cable...time to order a new gear. It is currently torn down in my garage...bummer.

While I was under my truck I noticed the exaughst was loose so tighter it up at well...then snap I broke a bolt...wonderful. I then pulled the manifold off and realized that a second bolt was bent so I replaced both of them. It was also time for some new exaughst manifold gaskets so I bought a set. Now time for everything to go back together...
