Gotta start a thread for my new truck.

1991 GMC K1500 4x4
5.7L TBI V8 (rebuilt ~ 30,000 miles ago)
4L60 4 sp. Automatic (junk, putting in a take-out with 80,000 miles on it)
NP241C Transfer Case
Standard Cab
Long Box
P265/75R16 Firestone Wilderness AT's

Currently in the process of swapping the transmission and flex plate right now. Slow going out in the cold! loll

Future plans, replace front fenders, fix rust above wheel wells, 6 lug 14 bolt rear, 3/4 ton springs in the rear, 3" body lift, 285/75R16's, dual exhaust, etc.

No, I need to find one for this truck. Had one in my '93 Suburban and now I wouldn't have anything else in a half-ton that does any towing.

Got the tranny out today.



Found out my flywheel was for sure busted. Check out the videos.





Looks like hell. Explains the rattling when it was running.









Luckily I had a brand new one I pulled off a motor I bought years ago. Sure helps to keep spare parts around. Oh, and I got another one with the truck. Still have a spare!  ++peace

As far as I know they only came in the light (6 lug) 3/4 ton trucks. 88-98'ish, I'm sure someone else can clarify the specifics.

I'm not sure. Haven't pulled the RPO codes yet to look them up.

Nope, not yet. Had a setback today. What's the name of your tranny guy you were telling me about?

Well, opened up the "new" tranny to put a new filter in it and got quite a suprise. One giant chunk of ice. Now I'm at a crossroad. I can either put it in and hope it's good enough to get me through until summer or save up some coin and get one of them rebuilt. This one had some metal shavings in the bottom but it is a 80,000 mile tranny. ??? Oh the drama! loll
