Yes, sounds like you need to remove the big crankshaft bolt first.

Happy B-day!

Happy B-day. Have a great day!

I've seen a few trannys where it was only the torque converter. I've also seen where it's the shaft that only sheared.

North Shore Off Road in Vancouver. http://www.nsor.com/ Great prices and shipping rates.

Approximately underneath your drivers seat on the exhaust. You will see it sticking out.

That does sound quite high. It's pretty much a straight forward procedure. If the sensor is easily removed (not rusted and seized), it's only a 15 minute job to replace. Remove sensor, unplug the other end from the harness and then feed the new one up and over the engine and replug in. Did they have a problem removing the old one? Do they show a labor charge on the invoice?

A common benefit is -you can unbolt your driveshaft from the flange at the tcase (with the sye, a flange is bolted to your tcase output shaft, and your driveshaft is now bolted onto that flange) and limp home in fwd if something should happen to your driveshaft without your gear oil spilling out. You then need to have a drive shaft that has the slip built into it. -depending on lift height, a double CV joint may be needed to help with driveline angles and a sye makes it easier to attach too rather than having the weight of the double cv and shaft resting on the tcase output shaft seal which can cause leaks. -you can use a driveshaft emergency brake kit with a sye. These are what I can think of at the moment.

Air horns sure can 'wake' up those 'other' drivers! A less expensive method is to go to the junkyard and find some Cadillac or other "big car" horns. The tone is deeper and lower than the stock horns.

Looks great. For some reason I thought you were already histeer-crossover.

Nice! They are ba-luuuue!

Your steering will change if you do a sas. I'd get the upgraded steering and then have fun and wheel it. It's alot of money to sas. It's alot of truck time off the road to sas.

Hi, What size of tires are you planning to run? That will help you determine your gear ratio for your diffs.

Arrgh this year I have found myself in the office. One always gets their b-day off, but this week has been too busy. I'll be taking another day instead.

The gas issue is a bummer. Like Pezzy said, for some of us and our way of life, our Pathys or suvs are a direct part of that lifestyle, so the gas issue may tend to take a less critical eye.

Thanks everyone You're right Eli, beers are happening soon...I think...if I can leave work...

Progress being Made Eli. For some reason I thought you guys were starting next weekend. I'll see if I can swing by this weekend. Good choice on the Sleemans.

Yeah! Fantastic. Looks great Pezzy. Now the test run!

Don't forget to swap the Master cylinder from the donor Pathy out to as Cuong Nguyen posted.

Have you picked up a multimeter yet?

I second that. Grab a hold and twist and watch for any movement.

How many lift blocks do you have? My kit came with the Hardbody blocks and Pathy blocks. Needless to say, I had a whole bunch of left over parts.

Looks great!

Good thing you guys got that done! Nasty stuff.
