May I ask why you didn't just sell yours and buy a 4x4? I've never understood swaps that the end result is basically what you can already buy factory made.
Make sure you plug the speedo gear hole, it will leak. I just chopped up the plug that's there and gooped on some RTV but it does weep a little. A solid plug would be preferable.
I love my truck!! This was my first vehicle, and although there's things I'd like to change about it I wouldn't get rid of it. I like that I know what needs tlc and I know what needs fixed. Mainly I'm just way too sentimental
thanks for the heads up about the speedo hole. I'll pull it off and see what it looks like. I'm thinking tap it and give it a bolt, but we'll see.
That's correct as the pilot bearing in the flywheel will support the shaft.
Good luck with the swap!
Thanks dude! I was worried when I pulled it, but in every aspect it seems to be a good solid tranny.
And yes the goal is an eventual SAS. nothing extreme, but I don't want to mess with the IFS.
