2x4 on a jack and you can
Sounds promising. I'm really hoping for you this time that you're good to go for a while now! You did clean out all of the coolers/lines right?
haven't yet but yes I have the stuff to do it.
Right on! Good news!
Ya your right but in that area has like 6 bolt holes on each side. it's easier to just finger tight the bolts to find the right holes.
Just need to do drive shafts, flex plate bolts, cross member, exhaust, starter and fluid. Shouldn't take but maybe a hour or so. I'll be done tomorrow and driving.
Learned this trick from David freiberger on YouTube, neat little spacer, hose routing with zip ties.
Please don't slam it in, it might last longer if you take an extra 5 minutes to make sure all is good. I sure do hope this one works out for you.
So i bolted it up without the converter seated right and it fell odd my jack to the ground...
RIP new trans.

Hmm, this feels like a prank. But it's not Apr 1...
No it isnt....
the converter wasnt seated into the pump all the way and i bolted the trans to the engine. it fell off the jack xoming down.

You broke the pump? Or the housing?
Nothing looks broke it looks OK but I'm afraid the pump is toast.
I don't have time for this crap, I'm overwhelmed with to much to do.

Take a breath, assess the situation. Prob best to let your builder know and have him look it over, esp the pump, and the converter.
it's my fault, wiggling it back and forth wasn't enough and I didn't rotate it to the right and I thought 2 clicks was enough... I should brushed up on my knowledge but I was to excited to drive my truck again.
I'm kinda stuck in dog jail for the next couple of weeks - she just had surgery, or I'd willingly give you a hand. If you're still behind the ball on this in a couple of weeks let me know, I'll give you a hand.
Very much appreciate the offer. I will get it done and be out on the trails. I have gone to far to give up.
24 hours isn't enough time in the day I wish I didn't have to sleep...
