Your yoke will work, i dont see any obvious damage... Then again i am looking at pictures on my iphone so..... Think it was just basically jammed into the seal... Since you have tailshaft off anyway, swap yours on to it, when you pull the current engine and trans, id be slightly comcerned about internals being jarred, you can either put it in and hope its ok or you can go through it before you put it in.... I personally would go through it to inspect for damage, but not everyone thinks like i do, be a good way to learn (if you dont already know) how to rebuild a transmission!!!

Can someone tell me were this lines go to? My 2000 5.3 does not have them. Should I use them?

Oil cooler lines, go to driver side tank of radiator, if your radiator doesnt have provisions for it take block off plate off the engine coming out and block it off

Well I'm actually buying a new radiator due to the fact that I'm putting efans on my truck and my old radiator won't work, I should just buy the one that has for the oil lines right? Is it better to have?thanks

Most of the aftermarket radiators have the fittings

What's your guys input on ls6 heads on the lq9? I can get a hold of some for $350, is it worth it? What would I gain or what would I lose?

They flow similar to the 317s, but have smaller combustion chambers - that will yield you increased compression. Definitely not a bad thing.

Had a quick question about the wiring on the efans, I was reading the write up on the link you sent me, I'm a bit lost I know I have to add a relay and splice into the green AC wire and use pin 42 in the pcm my question is where does the wire you plug in to the pcm contect to? And also there is a plug in the harness besides the 2 that plug into the fans, where do I plug it into? I attached 2 pictures. thanks in advance.
