Get a box of bulbs from the auto parts store and start changing them if you buy a used one you could end up with the same thing

I am not sure what you done here so do you have the U joint out of the yoke on the t case or not

as for the exhaust all you need to do is take the cross over pipe off.
On each side of the bell housing you will see where the cross over pipe is bolted to the exhaust manifold 3 bolts each side,no need to take it all off
When pulling the tranny take 4 bolts out where the tranny bolts to the bell housing slide tranny back and you can get right into the bell bolts remove bell bolts and you can see the bolts that hold the clutch and pressure plate in

Clean all the bolts you can see and put some of that panther stuff Jim was talking about

. Enjoy yourself

i got the ujoin free of the yoke that connect to the diff, but i cant get the driveshaft off the tcase.

Spray around the u joint caps that you took the straps off with the panther piss let soak for awhile take a pry bar put between the ujoint and the yoke and pry it will start to move you will just have to work at it

Took the words right out of my mouth, but you can also jack the back of the truck up a little bit to put some pull pressure on your shaft. Obviously you want to jack it by the frame, and not the differential, cause you want the differential to drop as you go up.

i can remove that crossover pipe? but its solid pipe from there right out the back? im pretty sure if i take that off it will still hang there

Bills Custom Calls · March 19, 2011, 09:52:14 PM

Hang on

Are we working on a gas engine or a diesel

Tappen · March 19, 2011, 10:05:11 PM

gas, 5l 305

Bills Custom Calls · March 19, 2011, 10:16:04 PM

Yes that makes a bit of a difference Gas engine no turbo
The Y pipe still bolts to the exhaust manifolds and it also bolts to the catylic converter you will
probably break the bolts or just cut the ones off the converter and put new ones in when you put it back together
There should be nuts on top of the bolts on the manifolds so those can be cut and replace with new ones also

Tappen · March 19, 2011, 10:28:38 PM

Think cutting cat out and replacing it with straight pipe, and putting new muffler in would make it sound good?

FinsnFur · March 19, 2011, 11:05:36 PM

...yeah but only until the Royal Canadian Mounted Boyz hear it.

Yes Tappen that will work
Now you know we just broke the law by doing such
well I guess I don't know for sure if it is law but I know I am told we are not suppose to do that,yes it will work

FinsnFur · March 20, 2011, 10:44:33 AM

There's a sign in the service station down here that reads;
Dont ask me to remove your catalytic converter and I wont ask you to pay the $2500 fine.

Tappen · March 20, 2011, 11:39:03 AM

hahaha, alright well maybe ill put that idea on hold for a while. So i think ill finish this job today, got my clutch kit in yessterday, and as long as my fork is in good shapei should be fine as i have everything else new. I have an idea, and hat is that im just gunna slide tranny and tcase back on the crossmember i.stead of taking them both out, whats yours guy's opinion on that?

Bills Custom Calls · March 20, 2011, 04:24:25 PM

Never tried that,but anything is worth a try

Tappen · March 20, 2011, 07:01:00 PM

how much fluid should i expect to lose when splitting t case and transmission? and it seems that my tranny and bell housing done split up? they d but its a ways back, ill show you in this illustration.

that place with the waffle designe on it, and the question mark, is that the bell housing or the tran? that black line where i wrote bolts is the only place where it could be. its only place where the bell housing can seperate, unless its solid?
