Thought about setting fire to the truck… didn’t have a match handy and it was to much work to find one…
My initial plan was to try and strap the trans to a piece of plywood and place it on the jack. Turned out with the bell housing height I couldn’t clear the truck with my contraption.
Instead I jacked the truck up to a sketchy height , dragged the trans under the truck and then lowered the truck down to a more manageable level. Struggled for a day attempting to raise the trans up to the engine from under the truck.
When the trans was initially installed we used the engine hoist to lift it up onto the engine. I was trying to avoid that now since it meant pulling the shifter and the floor out. Finally conceded defeat and used the engine hoist… trans is officially back in the truck.
