My T98 makes bearing noise when warm in neutral; a local trans guru said not to worry about it. It is also occasionally a PITA to get into third & fourth due he said to play in the shifter mechanism.

Really? It seems weird to me since it only started recently and if you miss the gear, it locks you out of all of them until you come to a stop.
On a different note, I got a small shelter for the truck for the winter! I just need to get some mothballs etc to keep bugs and rodents out of it. I also made some progress on the V10. I finally found some freeze plugs and I installed those, repainted and reinstalled the oil pan, repainted the front pulleys, reinstalled the flywheel, and a couple other odds and ends. It's getting closer!

another quick update. I have the engine mostly together and I got the valve covers painted. She looks good but man it's a big engine. Unfortunately, not much is going to happen for a while now. I'm trying to buy a house so I don't want the truck in a million pieces and try to move it.

Slow progress but something's better than nothing right? I was browsing Craigslist yesterday and stumbled across an NP205 out of an old Dodge. It has the passenger side drop, the strength to handle a V10, and it should bolt up to a NV4500 with an adapter. I didn't think I would actually see one of these pop up locally. I guess patience pays off.

Another large step for the build! I got a hold of a parts truck this weekend. It's a 98 Ram 2500 with the V10, NV4500 manual trans, and is 4x4! Now I've got all I need to get started on this project. I can't wait to finish moving. Then I can get going.
