"OFFICIAL" What did you do to your D-Max today?

You only bolt the driver's correct? 1 or 2 bolts? I've seen threads on this but can't remember, think mine is on its way out.

For launching u only have to do the driver side. Corbin bolted my passenger side for backing up a trailer with a sticky clutch. My driver side came out in 2 pieces:thumb: it bent the tab hook deal straight. My rear engine plate was hitting my front drive shaft when launching

One bolt is sufficient 1/2" bolt 3" long. Put the but tword the engine block.

Haha oh snap...literally. I guess I could just bolt em both.

And thank ya Corbin maybe I'll do this while the trans is out. Where you grabbing/lifting the engine from to do this properly without ruining something

I put 2 in mine just because mine gets a shock of load when launching compared to an auto. And there was 2 holes in the mount already. I had to grind one of my bolt heads down though to clear the frame. Like corbin said one bolt would be fine

I put the nut towards the block and just snugged it up and tacked it. Yeah mine was bad. Makes a huge difference

I was tempted to just weld the mount solid. Talked myself out of it I guess. I just need to build a tube frame for this body so it will hold up

Yea your hard on that girl

Took out the driver side mount and tranny mount nuts off and jacked up the tranny under the truck, gave me plenty of room

 

[minerigger]

Trans is already out lol

 

[zf>allison]

Trans is already out lol

Good to go then:woott:

 

[minerigger]

So how am I getting the weight off the driver's side mount?

 

[Huffy67]

I picked the driver side of mine up with a hoist using a bolt hole by the ac compressor

Spoke to soon. Perfect. I'll do that this week. Before trans goes back in. On another note have any of you replaced the bushing in the tailhousing of the transfer case. Any tips outside of new case half...already got bushing coming. Found mine is worn and mixed with the bad u joint is causing my leak all over the underside of the body.

I've never changed the bushing but I believe you have to split the case and change it from the inside.

I found a tool to do it in the truck but for $650 I figured i could split and press out old and in new...guess I'll take pics and see how it goes

 

[Huffy67]

Pulling and splitting the case is easy. As far as changing the bushing I have no idea unless it can be done with a hammer lol

I'm thinking I'll have to get something all hokey like made up...surely I can conjure up something you guys on here would be proud of

 

[Huffy67]

Idk, some guys around here make some pretty fancy shit. You won't be seeing any pictures of my ghetto fab on here lol
