why? they're probably the easiest thing on the job

Maybe it was the freeze plugs.Idon't want to remember!

 

nope, not those either. i'd have to say it'd be the top left bolt on the t-case (behind the shifter linkage for the t-case). that little sucker takes like 15 minutes to do-if you only have a regular box wrench. much easier with a gear wrench.

funny, ever since i bought my gear wrenches, i can't recall ever doing another t-case again. figures.

also forgot to mention to you dunontime, i alway Ziplock bag and label the bolts/nuts when disassembling everything. been doing it forever. probably started doing it right around the time they were invented, hahahahaha! personally, i think this is why Sharpie's were also invented.

Hey oldskool I used to do the baggie thing. Stopped doing it cuz I tried to put a sandwich in a motor once, bad part was I didn't notice until I tried to look up the torque specs for a ham-n-cheese on french! haha!

But seriously that is a good idea. If you are using a manuel all you have to do is write the number of the step the bag goes to.

 

indeed top tcase bolt had me scratchin my head at 3 in the morning its a pain when all ya got is a box end wrench

id have to say be very careful when breakin tcase away from trans. theres not as much shaft holdin it as one would think. i found out the hard way and have the bruise on my chest to confirm.

 

yeah, i only did that the first time i ripped the drive line outta my '92.

 

Well I've decided to buy a new long block from autozone and drop it in instead of fixing this one. It willl be here on 12/8.

 

You will be happy,thats probably a good decision. Happy at least after it's in. lol
good luck!

 

well Merry Christmas to you! be sure to post a few shot's of your nice 'n pretty engine when you get it, in the crate, and in the truck of course.
