thanks!

Well we may have a problem. When we pulled the engine the TC was leaking so I pulled it off and it has been sitting on the shelf for about 5 years. I didn't mark anything when I removed it.

Thanks guys. I knew I'd get sound advice here.

I may be late to the game and this has been posted here or it is from someone here in the forum. My son found this and wants to do it. I told him that it would be much easier to do before we install the engine. What do you guys think, yes/no?

Thanks WW. I haven't even looked at that yet. That is a good idea. Does that look like a rear main seal just on the trans?

Good idea. When my boys were small I used to have them do it but they are all bigger than me now.

Thanks guy's. It is an auto trans. thanks for the advice on radiator and the 36" extension for the top bell housing bolt. I was fighting it taking it out from the top. I am doing new motor mounts.

After 5 years of finding time and my son doing most of the work to get us over the hump we're almost done. Just a few little odds and ends and finding little parts that have walked away, we are about a week away from reinstalling the beast (95 k3500 sierra dually). A couple of questions. When we...

Thanks Will.

Getting my build done slowly but surely. I'm at the point of installing the lifters. The book says to soak them in diesel or kerosene and use the rod to plunger the lifter to prime it. They have been soaking in diesel for about 24 hours and they barely move. How have you guy's done them?

Mine is the 3800 only. No other cups. Live and learn. I guess I'll need to rebuild a 3800 to get my money's worth out of the tool. 😁

The part number on mine is J 38196-4. It's the same p/n on your original pic you sent a few months ago. I'm assuming there multiple tools with the same p/n w/ different attachments.

I'm finally getting around to installing the rear main sill. The problem I have is figuring out how to use the tool. The cone is smaller than the RMS.

Do they make a teflon seal for our trucks?

Just getting around to order the new rear main seal that I cut. I noticed a viton one. Which is better for our trucks viton or rubber?

It was the motor. It took about 2 hours to do.

The driver side power window on the suburban died in the down position. My son said intermittently it has been stopping just shy of the top but not the bottom. When it was working I didn't hear it bogging down. It worked properly. Wondering if it could be the switch and not the motor. As I'm...

I know. The only good thing is I actually saved about $600 per month in fuel when I retired the burb and got the ram.

No time for upgrades now. I need to get the suburban back into service for work. My work truck (2017 Ram eco diesel) has a spun bearing with only 113k miles on it. I have owned it from 450 miles and had oil changes done on time and proper intervals. It just went out of warranty and the dealer is...

Thanks!
