Also the 8 14mm hex bolts for the flex plate are to be replaced never to be reused,
I can assure u that the flexplate is on the dial pins correctly.
Low range puts more stress on all the parts after the t-case but less on the motor and trans while hi range does the opposite. I was talking about initially getting the sled moving being a bigger stress in 2H than it is in 4L. 4H is the biggest stress of all though.

2H will spin the tires much easier therefore causing less stress. If you can keep the tires spinning there is much less chance of breaking something. It's when it hooks that breakage takes place.
Rear ends are another thing we wont dicuss that topic
I want to see some pics of that bad hole on converter .
Bolts dont just come out like that unless that hole is crossed or elongated .
If you tried to tq that bolt to 130 it would either break or strip. Either way it is finished.
My goodness. I think a standard grade 8 1/4" bolt only calls for around 30lbs. I would go by the GM specs but just trying to show how unreal 130 is
shown in ft./lbs.
