Yea, it's about 80 miles away and if has spent it's whole life here in Oregon, then it likely has no rust at all.

Here is how you get your rig out if that transmission does not work up in Magalia:







If you leave the brakes on and drag it you will flat spot those tires:

Very nice. Im also looking into refreshing alot of my wiring. It in important to me to do it in a way that basically is good quality and workmanship. The parts houses have replacement connectors and pigtails but I don't like splicing unless I have to. I'd rebuild a harness if I found one. Finding the terminals is kind of tricky though. I worked on aircraft for a number of years and want to do a little better than patching in new pigtails with butt splices. Even soldering the connections and heat shrinking them starts looking bad for as many as my truck needs.

Thank you for your help my friend. It is greatly appreciated.

Just to give you an idea.

Super nice--BUT--$12,500 nice? Idk....

 

[OR VietVet]

That is a starting price. At least it is if I wanted it. Hell, if I really wanted it, like I did on my Z71, you know I would walk away at least 3 times before I cave on a price. Portland to here is a long walk away but to me, it is part of the fun.

Electrical is my nemesis, but after pulling the wiring diagrams and studying what they mean, it's definitely doable. I just did it, so you can too!

Except for those horrendous wheels. Put some original 4x4 wheels on there and I'd almost wish it where closer to me. Seats look like recovers, too.

 

[OR VietVet]

I agree, the seats do look like recovers and I don't like chrome wheels or the design of the wheels. I think some blacked out spider web wheels would look good.

It has the same suspension mod I'm adding once the transmission is in!

The trans is ready to install. Filled the torque converter with 2qt. atf, installed new gear range indicator/neutral safety switch, verified the harness plug has 13 pins like the old one, fluid fittings in & out are sealed & tight, output flange & shaft match the removed unit. Here is a trick I like to use. Put a wrench against the torque converter do it stays put until you are ready to mate the bell housing to the engine. Use a hole on the t/c cover flange and it doesn't interfere with getting the gearbox in place!
