Well, my son & I have started the job--small steps at a time--just got the truck jacked up on blocks and started the process. Like I said, small steps first--disconnected batteries, removing starter, began loosening drive shafts etc. My son noticed a chunk of aluminum broken out near the slave cylinder mount. This has me concerned since on the ZF, the bellhousing is one in the same with the transmission housing. I'm hoping I can patch this hole and drill crack stopper holes if I see any cracks. Lord knows we can't afford a new transmission housing and the labor involved in swapping the gears out etc. I had another question if anyone wants to weigh in:
Should I split the transfer case from the tranny before dropping the tranny or should I leave it connected? A buddy in our church (who does alot of mechanic work) is recommending I leave the two attached, but I heard other folks say to split them before lowering. As a reminder--this is a 2001 F350 SRW diesel 4x4 with the ZF 6 speed. We have a large (2000# cap.) tranny jack. Thanks in advance for any help. I work out of state and can only work the job for a few hours on Saturdays.
