Okay. I finally bit the bullet and cleaned out the garage enough to back my truck in. The C6 is out and the zf5 is in. Time to button up some loose ends.
The cross member doesn't exactly fit in the right place for the zf5. I want to take the CM out and drill new holes about 1" back from the originals. I'm looking for a good right angle drill to do the job on the upper frame rail.
The trans sits pretty high, there is only about .5" room between the top of the trans and the floor of the truck. Does this sound too tight to anybody? Any way to lower the trans another .5" or so?
Wiring. I just finished searching for wiring info. EMD Driver has retained his auto trans harness to get it to start and run. Since I have kids (and since I put a subaru through a deep freeze when I was a kid messing around in the garage) I HAVE to wire in a clutch safety switch. How would I accomplish that? Also, I have a pig-tail from a t-19 that seems to match up with the reverse switch on the zf5. Can I use that to get my reverse lights to work, How?
The trans swap gave me a chance to swap out my exhaust. I got a dynomax 3" system from a donor truck from a buddy. Man, I can't wait to drive this thing!
Found out my truck has a limited slip dif (don't know if they all do). Also, found out the drips on the driveway weren't oil but were anti-freeze washing oil off the bottom of the engine. I need to fix my block heater or take it out and put a freeze plug back in.
Next on the list - replace the IP and seal the bottom of the IP mount (leaks oil like a fountain), replace lower radiator hose (damaged from oil out of the IP mount), add another air-intake hose to other side of air filter assembly, install a pyrometer, and on, and on, and on....
