Cut the old hose out too disappointment he used fuel hose for atf. Which does work but is not really correct. The factory size hose is 11/32 for the trans cooler line. Fortunately Advance up the street had the correct size and hose for what i needed. A little pricey at $7/ft. Bought 4ft to replace both lines and a qt of atf.

This is how the hose was when they "found the leak" For whatever reason someone moved the hose and set under and against the idler pulley bracket and then ate through the hose within secs i would imagine. Its not worth my time or energy to fight with them to explain that one of them had moved this hose and caused the issue.

You can see here how the hose naturally wanted to sit and had been for sometime since the previous owner had put it together. Which i would like to compliment him on putting the truck together with not one hanger or support on the trans lines.

Truck felt pretty good on the brief road trip. I felt no indication that i was gonna have to do anything with front end so i went ahead torqued the Ubolts. Torqued to 100LBS then used cutoff wheel to know the threads dow ln a little bit. Hit the ends for a quick sec with the soft pac on grinder.

Front alignment is tomorrow and had a decent amount to go through this afternoon after work. Really wanted this back under the truck so as soon as i get paint on it i set the heat lamp on it and occasionally rolled it.

I dorpped the driveshaft off last week to have it extended. Couple days later they had it done and picked it up after work. I did not write down original length but i believe it was lengthened 3.5". This one i measured flange to flange and told them i wanted 33.375". I took just a little off the actual measurement to account for the minute amount of leaf spring settling.

With 1.5inch blocks coming i didn't want to place this bracket perfectly straight. The block will jave a slight taper on them to help with opinion angle. So i went with 5° on ppacing the bracket. Did the same on other side but opposite of the same 5°. Hopefully when the blocks go in these will level out jist a little bit and look decent.

I tried pinching the bushing closer together but that wasn't gonna happen. These are most likely temporary till we get the blocks ppaced in the rear and the truck breaks in the leaf springs. Once all that happens the correct size can be ordered. With that i took portaband and just one of the bushimgs down slightly.

One U bolt needs to come out to be out the way for welding. Held cover up and roughly marked it. Wire wheel just where i needed to. Wanted to remove as little paint as possible from the axle.

I didn't like the idea of welding this on and then not being able to easily retrieve the oil fill plug if it was to get dropped down in it.

Turned truck around and pulled back into garage. Owner had this sent to me as well as some rock sliders from 4x4innovations. The fitment in this isn’t great but it does work enough to get welds around it. Painted the inside of it few days prior. Once it installed would be impossible to get adequate paint on the i side to help with rust.
