Billy, how does the bottom of TruCool fit to that lower brkt.? I can't see it in pic, does it bolt in from engine side or what's method of attachment?
Also, install on your 40K looks sweet. I like how clean it mounts, flat black matches better than a semi gloss.
However, I don't like the extra cuts in baffle even if it's hidden. Nice work! 
BTW, you're not gettin old, u are.
Dead blow hammers. Do Not leave those out in the cold!!! Bring em inside over winter. Trust me on this. Already replaced 1 this winter that shattered, now another has to go back left out. Unless, u were man-handling it like a beast.

I was man-handling that dead blow lol...although it has seen some cold temps in the past which may have affected it.

I'm hoping to finish it up after work this week, I'd like to take the truck down to my mom's for memorial day weekend. I brought the driveshaft and u-joints to work, so I should get that done tonight, then all that's left is to install the driveshaft, exhaust, fill fluids, skid plates, check for leaks and button up the grille. I have Rosie tomorrow, so maybe Wednesday...might try to work on it tonight. I'd like to get my JGP 20's on it too...it's summer time baby!

Yea, the weather was nice today, a little humid, but not too hot...especially since it was supposed to rain. The transfer case chain did seem to have some slack in it, but I believe that's normal. As Dan mentioned, the slip yoke is the major clunk and clang. It has been revised with a nickel plated one, which is what I was trying to install today but the u-joints were busting my chops 
Here's what I did today...
The original clip that's prone to breakage...mine was OK, but I'm glad that I replaced it anyway
The redesigned clip that slips on to the pump
Clip part number
If you decide to do this repair, pay special attention to the pump pickup screen, mine was totally clogged with the excess case sealer from when the t-case was assembled at the factory:
This is the sealer that the dealer sold me when I asked them what they used to seal the t-case
Wrestling the t-case around is a bitch, so I came up with an idea to give my buddy and me an extra hand
The EAD brackets for the TruCool 40K, painted flat black
Trucool installed
A look at the lines and compression fitting, and slots cut into the little plastic shield to accommodate the lines
SnapOn 14v 3/8 cordless impact gun...this tool has been invaluable throughout this job...I was able to break just about every bolt loose except the 18mm crossmember bolts and the top bellhousing bolts that needed long extensions
Casualty of war...SnapOn dead blow that blew apart trying to get u-joints out
