I had posted previously about the clearance gap between the @Delta VS front skid plate to the 6L90e transmission pan. See post 4572

I was under the truck yesterday, and there is no evidence of it touching the pan after about 3500 on-road miles. No off-road miles yet...

I happened to look back and saw that the tail of the t-case was resting on the rear skid plate. Not sure how I missed this...it was a last minute install before a 2500 mile road trip..

This is with the engine moved 1.25" further forward compared to where Mark's 4WD mounts would have put the engine.

A 6L90e is 1 3/8" longer than a 6L80e as well. The net result should have been putting the transmission mount close to the original Toyota location.

The transmission mount ended up a bit past where Toyota mount would be. Maybe .25" towards the rear?

No fault of DeltaVS. This is not a typical engine/transmission configuration...

To fix this, and to gain additional clearance at the transmission pan, I designed 304 stainless shims to lift the transmission mount. They will be on the SendCutSend store once I have tested them.

FYI: the engine is at 3° currently with no drivetrain vibrations. I am hoping not to change the angle by that much. Just enough to gain clearance.
 
WARNING I've said it before that PSI harness isn't all that great and this isn't the first time I've had a problem first time I was hunting a mis engine seemed like it had a bump stick in it if you don't know what that is ask Ai lol but it didn't anyway it was a fuel injector harness the pin wasn't all the way seated and not getting a good connection didn't take all that long figured it fixed it moved along fast forward to now I've been beating my head again the wall trying to figure out why the ac request wasn't working checking the tune blabla bla I didn't even think for a second to question their wiring come to find out the wire witch is white that's for the ac request in the red ecm main plug was in # 13 not # 17 now it idles up.
Just thought I'd share
