Got it done and it bolts right in, which means I am done for the time being :bounce: I have spent a couple of hours nearly everyday working on this or the BW 4406 swap for the last month and now I am done!

woo hoo

Sooo
when are you invitin me down to see what it will do?
 






Well $hit! I spoke too soon. :fire: The drivehshaft bots in without bottoming out, however the noise is still there. Not as loud, but still there. The kicker is when I pull it into 4hi the noise goes away. Could I have a bad front output bearing or is that still driveshaft related??

I guess for now the driveshaft is coming out- :dunno:

I started a thread about this in the transmissions and transfer cases forum. 410 has helped, but maybe someone has more suggestions?

Please :help:

I have blasted the parts clean, powdercoated them all wrinkle black and now hope to honor Evan's awesome fabrication skills by proudly wearing these parts on my own truck. I can attest to the excellent quality, in fact, you would have a hard time seeing a difference from the factory parts.

I know it's been a long time but how did the brackets come out and can I ask you for some specs because I have sheets of 1/4" plate laying around and want to build some ???
