Rocket Man's 02 Denali Build Thread AKA "THE BEAST"

[HiHoeSilver]

Also replaced the DJM rear passenger endlink which had broken awhile back. You can see the weld had no *********** on the failed part.

I decided to install the parts onto the trans today in preparation for final assembly into the truck. I’m glad I decided to buy some used torx plus bellhousing to trans bolts off eBay. Those things really like to strip. Got that on, then the case extension at the rear and the shift cable bracket. Things were going well until the neutral safety switch. Both times I’ve removed this I’ve broken it putting it back on. Did it again today. $39.43 Amazon Prime. Stupid switch.
