    700R4 Spews fluid when in reverse.

    This trans has always had leaks since I took ownership of it. Last winter I did an LS swap and decided to keep the 700R4 until I had the money for a Monster Transmission. I replaced the leaking seals, but seemingly out of the blue it started leaking when in reverse gear. Seams to be coming from...

    Grease on my front wheel??

    I just noticed the grease the other day on the driver side wheel lip. I've only put maybe 1000 miles on my 87 V10 since I did the LS swap at which time I completely went through the front Dana 44. The Warn's are no where near new, but function as they should. I did notice that I can grab hold...

    Please help me I.D. this T-case!!

    I'm in need of the coveted passenger side drop NP241c that came in 88-91 Burbs and K5s so I can utilize a 4L60E in my LS swap.

    Please help ID my axles!!

    I'm pretty certain my rear is a 12 bolt. But the front has me questioning my judgment a bit. When I first started trying to identify my axles, I was guessing it was a 10 bolt. But the more searching I do the more I think its a Dana 44. Truck is a bit of a Frankenstein. Its got an 87 R10...
