2006 ECSSB Silverado Project
#31
Well decided to clean up and paint the transmission. Probably won't last but it will at least look nice sitting in my garage until I can install it.
Degreased and hosed down 3 times
Chose this for the paint
Two coats in, waiting for it to flash off so I can do more coats
I've got a new pan gasket ordered so I just painted right over it. I might order a new pan as well, so I didn't bother with that either. Once the trans is done I will remove the tail housing and paint that separate

The trans looks really nice all painted up. You sure have put a lot of time and work in your truck.
Now you have me sweating when you mention going to the stealership to get the DIC programmed. I can see that as $1000 just for that alone. I looked at a wheel off of an 06 Silverado w/controls but he wants $50. I had checked on the Clock spring on ebay also but it was over $200.

Thanks for the help.

Pressed in the belltech camber bushings
Installed the button bumpstops on the LCAs
Pressed in the rear shock bushing sleeves, but modified the top ones to fit the factory bolt. The bottom ones are the 1/2" sleeves and I'm going to get new grade 8 bolts for that
Got some new M10x1.5x30mm bolts and put the extension housing back on
Trying to figure out my driveshaft measurements. This is the yoke all the way in
pulled out 3/4"
but here's the booted seal that came on the transmission factory, looks like that won't work. I could either pull the yoke out more, or get a non-booted seal. I have to order a new seal regardless

Finally installing this drop now that I have a three day weekend. Got the rear flip kit done Thursday night after work, then today started the front stuff. I still have to finish the front, do the c-notch and other small stuff. I have to get an alignment tomorrow, so worst case scenario I put a bump stop on the frame and drive it to the shop to align

So I drove the truck down to Firestone to get an alignment, very bumpy road and no notch was a pain, but it turns out they can't align it because it's too low. Total bullshit since I bought a lifetime alignment only one alignment ago.
Got the rear shocks put on with the extenders
Glad I waited to do the notch. You can see my centerline compared to where it should be now with the flip kit
Drivers side cut
Working on passenger side
Holes drilled (sucked ***)
I got everything drilled and bolted up except the 4 bottom ones on the drivers side. I'll drill and bolts those up tomorrow. Since I can't get an alignment, I'll try to do a DIY alignment to get it close. I also need to adjust the ride height since it settled another inch or so after initial setup
