Yes I can use a vise and sockets, or pipe.
IDK do you have Habor Freight in the UK? The ball joint tool kit works well for uj esp in the field.

If dex3 is hard to get you can use Transynd. It is TES295 fluid which is basically synthetic dex3.

I dont think ive got a c clamp man enough lol
Rock auto actually has a section here. Make sure you grab the %5 discount code. Got any Nato surplus places? CUCV will share some parts.
I have relatives somewhere in England, I have meet 2 cousins. that was back before William And Harry were born. I have lost contact.
We have another new UK member he has 2 Squares, He posted just a few above yours in the new member thread. Also 1 in Spain, and I think 2 in Sweden and I'm sure there are a couple more from Europe.
I was gonna ask isn't that big 6.2L taxed to all get out? What would it cost to drive into London for a day ?

Cheers bud added it to basket and just out of curiosity i can get a 1993 chevy g30 with a 5.7 tbi and a 4l60e would it be a hard swap to do.
other than the diesel fuel system swap. would be almost bolt in. the 4l60e will mate with current t case and adapter. then is just the computer and wiring. Radiator might need changing, the 6.2l is bigger and has the engine oil cooler. I guess the radiator would depend on inlet and outlet locations
edit 4l60e might need a different output shaft.

Thanks again for the info all the driving i do do is mainly short journeys and with British diesels i know that can be a bad thing im gonna have tomorrow on the truck changing engine mounts rear uj and plug in the transmission wiring if the tc was bad when i plug it in is there anything i should get ready for.
If tc stays locked up the eng may stall when put in gear. Iirc there is a vacuum switch in the control circuit. Also a break switch. Might want to check over the controls before you plug it in.

Il get the 4x4 light rewired first i take it thats gonna be a warning light of some kind and if it did lock would that be the torque converter shot or the tcc solenoid how would i be able to tell thanks again
If it locks outside of 4th gear and 38 to 45 mph, you get to convert, I would suspect the tcc solenoid.

Am i right in saying that when it locks the revs will slightly reduce or am i reading the wrong info and wes youve been a legend thanks again
I was going to ask about a wife
yes when locked up, if you rest your foot on the brake pedal rpm should increase @100 to 150 above previous rpm for same speed.
