Got a few more things done. Cleaned and scuffed the tranny, painted it and put a new front pump seal in it while it was out. Got the transfer case ready to hook up, but when I disconnected it I guess theres a paper gasket that goes inbetween that NAPA doesn't have. So either I am going to silicone it, or go to my local Chevy Dealer this weekend to see if I can find one. Getting the tranny under the truck was a bastard (all by myself). Just because it was so big/heavy/bulky. I had to jack the truck up and put it on blocks just so I could get the tranny under neath. Then since its so heavy I took ratchet straps underneath it, and pulled it up so i could get my jack under neath it. That actually worked out well for those of you who attempt that in the future by themselves.; Right now its just sitting on the jack, propped up under the truck. Tomorrow I will get it bolted together if everything goes right. Also, NAPA doesn't have knock sensors either???!!! WTF NAPA your slowly losing my business! For putting the new seal in, its simple: I just take a screw driver and get behind the lip of the seal and just pry out. Make sure not to mess up the seal housing though, otherwise it may leak. Once you get the new one, lube it up. I just used wheel bearing grease (you dont need alot). Line it u with the hole, and a few taps with the hammer it will pop right in.
