Time to get started 4.8 to 5.3

I never take the plugs out. I always remove the whole switch.

You can also use an electric heat gun to soften the resin sealing the two halves.

You know what they say. Live and Learn. I hope I get to do more tomorrow. I hope to pull it before the weekend.

Dose anyone have a part number or know were I can ge this bracket or know what year truck it came on.

The Cable Bracket on the 60 will not work so I will need to find one of them it will take the one that goes on the pan bolts.

i used one off a 60e and jon (dbrods) fabbed it up for me, its pretty easy if you got the tools he does :lol: i almost had it working with a hammer :thumb: and mine is bolted into the pan bolts i also had to drill an extra hole so it would have the right spacing.

Be VERY careful of the connectors!!!!! Like Greg said, a lighter helps out big time. Please do me a favor and go back and double check your connectors and the wire's integrity at the connector. Don't ask how I know. :argg:

Just a fast up date. Still waiting on the trans guy to get my trans done. Wiring is done new tune is here Motor is ready just need a trans. Will be 4 weeks Monday. Driving me nuts. If anyone want a good 4.8 and the 4L60e I will make them a good deal on them.

Nice work! :thumb: Let us know how everything runs once you get that new tranny in there. Running a higher stall?
