well since the trans is out of the truck and waiting to be fixed i figured i would work on some of the other things ive been putting off for a while today. needless to say, i think bit off more then i could chew in one day. my front diff was leaking, the drivers side wheel bearing was bad, and the water pump was leaking. so this morning i started on the wheel bearing. no big deal, so then i moved on to the front diff. what a pain by yourself and on a non lifted truck having to drop the centerlink. i split it and resealed it and why i was waiting on the sealent to cure, i started on the waterpump. the crank bolt is real tight but the worst part was getting it off the crank as it was on the keyway real tight. finally got it off and got the waterpump apart to find that the impeller had started walking off the shaft and eating into the housing. good thing i got the new one welded. but now ive got the truck in a million peices and really dont feel like going to back messing with it. just felt like sharing since im taking a break.

Been there, done that, feel your pain :).

My trucks going to be in a "few" pieces next weekend for a motor swap, and then more swapping the LBZ heads onto my LLY shortblock sometime in the next few weeks, so I'll have about a bazillion pieces spread out in my friends garage :rofl:.

wait a minute..... how long did it take you to pull your converter? i think it took me 2.5 hrs to have the whole trans sitting on the floor and already taken apart and found what was wrong. i think it took you what 2 days to just get the converter out? whos the rookie now...:hug:
