    97 AWD 5.0 EB 250K Big snap when put into reverse/no action

    I am no expert but the "snap" I felt when the truck failed was major. From what i understand the TC has to be removed to remove the trans. So.. I think I will continue to remove the TC to see if the trasn. spins with out the TC. If it does it is the TC if it does not it is the Trans right????
