Thanks for the tips. I presume this all applies to the GMT800 platform as well..?Super easy to replace once you have the transmission pulled away and flexplate removed.
For an in-car replacement, I highly recommend using a rear cover alignment tool. Might wanna check that oil pan gasket while you're there. Actually, the oil pan should go on after the rear cover, meaning it should at least be loosened to hang down a little as to not push upward on the rear cover while you're centering it. At that point, you may as well replace the oil pan gasket. Which, at that point, you may as well replace the oil pump pickup tube O-ring.
