So I tried again this morning. Headed in the cab, noticed that the park brake lever was down. Pulled it up.
I startet the truck up, and went outside to check all the valves on the emergency and service glad hands, let the truck idle, walked around it to hear for leaks. I suddenly was scared from...
Hey guys, I parked my Truck about an hour ago and checked the trailer connector wiring.
Friend of mine sat behind the wheel while I was measuring pins at the connector.
I asked him to step on the brakes and he pushed hard in the pedal, released it and a very loud goose sound appeared. Louder...
Had the same problem as dhedden discribed. Chenged heatercore and afterwards the little flapper in there stopped working corectly. It didn´t close completly and so it blew only warm instead of hot air.

Hi guys,
Wanted to tell about my way to replace the Flexplate without removing the transmission or the T-Case.
Some members say that you just can replace the tranny bolts with longer ones so you can push the transmission back from the engine. Its a fairly good plan but you can´t get any 3/8"...

Flexplate broken. Flexplate bolts...
Problem found!
The flexplate was grinding at the torqueconverter cover.
Pulled the transfercase anyway since im going to rebuild it.
Thanks for your advices guys
I think you need to disconnect everything from the transmission and then unbolt the TC and then slide the whole thing backwards so you can reach the bolts from the flexplate
Noises from the bellhousing area? ( Fixed )

Standart GM 10 Bolt U-Joints are 3R series or 1310s and the GM 14 bolt uses...

Does anyone of you have experience with this swap?

Torque converter? What could be wrong there? Can I Check somehow the converter or the t case ?
Speedo cable and Gear is fine. I checked it when I replaced the speedo overdrive gearbox.
