    ok so i took a week off from working on this thing. actually went outta town for a short vacay. im back and ready to get this thing finished up. got my dirty dingo mounts in the mail and they work perfect. should have used these in the first place!





    also i had to drop the tran because i used the wrong bolts to hook up the flywheel spacer to the back of the motor. so i dropped the trans and installed the new bolts.




    also theres a shot of one of the holes i had to make longer to make the 5.3 flywheel work with my older 4l60.

    i also ordered the vacuum adapter fitting from gmpartsgiant.com..the part was only like 4 bucks but they charge 11 bucks for shipping and once i got the package i seen why...they used this huge box wirth a huge envelope inside to ship a part no bigger than a AA battery smh!

    I put a chain through the balancer and to the frame and then take the handle from my floor jack and slip it over my breaker bar to loosen the bolt. Goes from the drivers side fender towards the passenger side when the breaker bar handle is is pointed up.

    Also a small 6 gallon or larger compressor works wonders. I have a 13 gallon (used $35) and it helped me R&R my stock suspension to a 6 inch lift plus 3 inch body lift. All done by myslef. Invest in small but quality tools. Keep up the progress bruh.

    When we did mine, a compressor wasn't enough. It took a 4' cheater to break mine free.
