trans blanket

[RichLMM]

i just put a trans blanket on my truck but the only problem i ran into was the front driveshaft hoops are so close to the trans i couldn't get the blanket between the hoops and blanket is it ok to go out and around the driveshaft and hoops? or should i do something about the hoops?

Who's blanket did you go with? I need to get one soon.

I wouldn't go around the driveshaft. Mines a really tight fit and I had to move my shields a little bit but it should work. I'm guessing there shouldn't be much differnece in years of trucks.

it makes everything tight under there for sure. definitely dont go around your driveshaft though.

I have blankets in stock that have all the wholes cut out and even one for a left side dipstick.

i took the hoops off and got it up against the trans but it still touches the driveshaft!!!...was i supposed to take everything off the trans put the blanket on then reconnect it all?

 

[juddski88]

Do you mean it touches by the nsbu? How bad? Mine rubbed little but it didnt hurt anything

I have the same blanket, my shaft actually just barely touches it in 2 places. I was told the thin tin like covering on that side of the blanket was to protect it from rubbing. Been on two years with no issues.

The chrome is for the drive shaft side.
