you mean fan shroud ?
I thought it was the radiator to the core support, now I blew it apart and have to put it back together to see. Been trying to figure out hoses and stuff, I’ll try and button it up and get more measurements.
Well I put it all back together and it’s less then 3/8 away. I think it should be fine.
Put a strip foam to reduce the air flow through the gap
you could use some edge trim clipped on the shroud. won't gouge the core https://www.amazon.com/15Ft-Black-E...+shaped+weather+stripping,aps,125&sr=8-2&th=1
Thanks for the link that seems like the ticket.
I say this then next year it’s back in the rocks… This year I specifically said I wasn’t going to bring the truck, even told my close friends that I’m probably not going to Moab for this reason.
I want to go camping and exploring
New fans mounted and wired. Also put on a ruff stuff 3/8 rear diff cover, need to cut the truss to make it work. Wired a new 7way plug onto the back of the truck.
It’s a tow rig next weekend!

Every year I say I'm going to back off the snow runs because it's hard on the truck....
Also ever year:
It’s hard but I want to preserve the truck as long as possible. I have already wheeled it way harder then I thought I ever would.
I hear ya. I swore up and down I would never do a 1 ton swap on mine because I never planned to wheel it hard enough to need it. welp, here I am. :P
That’s partially why I didn’t put a 60 in, I also had it laying around. I’m pretty sure it still has factory u joints in the shafts.
Before Moab I resealed the adapter housing and put nord washer on it.
3 days of Moab wheeling park it and this happens. This was clean yesterday, moved it about 20 feet.

yeah but is leaking from the same place ?
Yes every time, I have a theory behind it…
The engine is placed a inch and a half above stock, the trans is at factory height. Sense the converter drains back and GM in their wisdom created a weep hole from the pan to tail shaft. All the fluid is collected where that mating surfaces meet and the rtv gets saturated and leaks.
4l60 or ? Which side trans or t case
4l60e where the trans bolts onto the tcase.
That is supposed to be an o ring there, I wouldn't use rtv with an o ring. Maybe a skim coat of flange sealant, being careful not get any on oring
