Yesterday I got the oil pan gasket, and rear main seal done. Nothing really special about it...other then the 36 frackin bolts for the oil pan!!!
I wanted to get that done before I dropped the motor back in the truck. So today I did just that....motors back in. I also got all the clutch and bell housing assemblies installed as well.
Hope to have the tranny in tomorrow, and get the tranny mount located so I can drill all the holes in the frame for it.

The only thing I like better than welding overhead is drilling.

Really? I searched their site and only found the one adapter. Do you have a link, or pic of the one you installed? I will go check out their site again and see if I can find the one you speak of.

I have their catalog in my shop left over from the swap.
They sent me the Non Z gated shifter bracket, stock with the bell housing kit- the Getrag to NV-4500 swap kit, but the Z gated shifter bracket was extra $ and needed to be order separately.
I will go get you the part #, If I can find it...

Well I woke up to snow this morning....
But I still went ahead and got the tranny in today....
I was freezing and soaked after that...so I called the rest of the day a "Snow day". Went sledding with my daughters instead....

Yeah right there on the sloping driveway....
Not the easiest pushing a cummins motor up hill on an engine hoist...but I do what I must. And I try and keep things as clean as possible....don't want to pi$$ off the neighbors any more then I already do. And yes I covered the motor with some thick poly and some bull dog clips to secure it.
Came in handy last night....

For a normal person pushing a cummins motor up a slope would be a challenge. For thrashingcows I doubt he breaks a sweat, he's a big dude!

Well now that Christmas is over....I have been able to work on the truck the last couple days.
Got the tranny cross member all pulled apart...cleaned up...and painted.
As well as several hours cleaning nuts,and bolts on the wire wheel.
