The t-cases weren't bad just ran into dumb issues which made it take a while.
I run efilive and Justin did the swap for me. Josh owns a V2, so now I just need to reflash and do any changes when I get it on the road.

I'm going to finish all the little things up today and whenever the driveshafts get back I'll get it on the road!

You're right about learning how they work. I've never had one apart, so it was neat to see how they work! And I'm one step closer for when my tranny gets here!

[QUOTE=AKlowriderZ71;4751877]It's looking really good guys! Can I get more info on how you did your crossmember? Looks really clean, not chopped and whacked, then patched back up. I like it.

One friendly suggestion, since you're using a rubber hose to extend the trans cooler rear line. Double clamp each end, and 180* the worm gears(pinch-point). You'll get more clamping force, and it's also less likely to leak. Remember, you're gonna have 200-ish psi running thru there.[/QUOTE]

Thats exactly how I originally extended the line on mine and it works fine as far as being able to hold pressure. However, it will wear out the connection at the trans fitting with the little wire clip and eventually blow the line out. The problem is that the section of rubber hose allows the remaining metal line to vibrate ever so slightly inside the fitting. I had my rubber line fastened pretty good but it ended up failing after only a few thousand miles. It blew out while driving down the free way and I was very lucky that the trans fluid did not ignite on the exhaust. It would have certainly burned the truck to the ground and it was a hell of a smoke show. I had to limp it off the freeway and I think it was partially responsible for a burned up 3-4 clutch pack a few months later.

Anyway, I'm just passing this along cause I'd hate to see this happen to you. My suggestion is to convert to AN fittings at the trans and use a hardline to AN adapter to hook it up to the factory hard line. Should cost much and will prevent the problem. FLT can send you the appropriate fittings (the rear is special and has to be made).
