Thanks for the part numbers for the headlight parts! That's an added bonus, I hadn't had time to mess with them yet, it has been bothering me though.
I used 4 jack stands the other 2 aren't in the picture.
The converter fell off when I pulled the trans out from under the truck. I had to tip it forward to clear the frame because my big jack quit working. That did cause the murder scene spill. Otherwise I would have had nothing but a few drips from disconnecting the cooler lines !
I have an oil change pump I use to suck the oil up through the dipstick tube when I change my boat oil. I used that to pump out the transmission fluid before I took it out. Then I didn't have to drop the pan avoiding that whole mess. So snoots was right about there being no fluid but, that's not what broke it.
Now if my harbor freight jack didn't let me down I wouldn't have had to scrub transmission fluid off my driveway! I lifted the front and back of the truck onto jack stands, lifted the front back off the stands then when I went to lift the rear it wouldn't lift any weight. Weird right ?
