Next I need to get back under the truck and finish removing the Allison. That is as soon as I can get up the gumption.:)

I finally got the Txr Case out. I then needed to build a jig to hold the Txr Case as it is very unwieldy to handle and I need all the help I can get. After I removed all the bolts I couldn't get the case apart as the procedure I used didn't mention the speed sensor. Once I removed that...

Well, it has been a while as I have been procrastinating about this job. This was the first thing to arrive for this job. And then the Alligator Stg V Allison Kit arrived. The Alligator kit comes with a Suncoast TC and I decided on the 1056. The 1st and 3rd gear pressure plates are...

Thanks Ferm, you do have to remove the starter and that is where you loosen the TC bolts. Correct??

When I pull the Allison I see I need a flywheel locking tool and a 36mm 12 pt socket to turn over the engine to remove the TC bolts from the Flywheel/flexplate. So begins another day.

Thanks Marty, I am very familiar with POR-15. It is great stuff but, it is the time involved at this point. I need the truck back on line by next week and have a limited amount of time to get the Trans and Txr cases done. I will probably have to do it again in another year or so.

Txr case is out and hopefully the Allison tomorrow. Found a lot of surface rust on the Trans crossmember and other items. I will be taking care of those before I put it all back together. I will be using Rust Restorer and rattle can paint. Any recommendations on snap ring pliers both for the...

Wow, it is interesting to see the varied educations on our forum. Just because someone has a degree doesn't make them any more intelligent than someone who doesn't have a degree. It does mean they had the financial means to attend a formal school that had a degree program and that they stuck...

30 yrs. USN. Specialized in Sunmarines

I have Comcast/Xfinity and their Internet is very fast and the reliability in my area is great.

I really like the 17" X 8.5" Hummer wheels on my truck. I run a 285 Tera Grappler and they wear extremely well with that rim.

Well, I got the Trans and the Txr cases drained and the Fr and Rr drive shafts removed yesterday afternoon late. Today I got my main computer back to life without having to take it to someone. On the other, dark side I had a water leak that I thought was coming from the dishwasher but when I...

I finally started to take it apart yesterday. I drained the trans, Txr case, and drive shafts. Today I will remove the Txr case and install the pump rub upgrade kit. Drattt!! Yesterday my main computer died and ZI need to get it fixed. It will not boot up. awindows boots but then it...

I meant Dex III or VI.

Thanks Mike. I have enough Amsoil Universal TF that is rated for Dex II or VI and I am thinking of using that. I have the Amsoil equivalent of Transynd 295 in it now

There are 932 different transmission fluids out there to consider. Well, maybe more. I have been using Amsoil since the 80's and have read articles on using different blends and what is better. TF threads are just like oil threads, there are different assessments and whatever. GM recommends...

I had heard that about checking the clearances in the clutch packs and I plan on doing that. I may have to get some shims but I will cross that bridge when i get to it. I do know that Sun Coast is doing the Alligator kit now and it should be pretty good. Now to get a good trans jack to use...

Well, I ordered the Alligator Stg V kit with Alto clutches, Koleen steels, Sun Coast 1056 TC, and an MA Transfer case pump rub upgrade kit. I need to get a Trans jack and some manuals on remove/replace and trans instructions. Son is coming to help me pull it this weekend. Any recommendations...

I have a Scot dominant gene pool but, alas I am do not have the extreme frugalness that you have:eek::thumbsup:

Mike, thanks for your input but you know me and I will want more down the road.:hihi:
