A buddy of mine just got done building a house and they no sooner moved in when the tranny died on their '93 Ford F-350 auto pickup. I've told him to hold off for a day while I tapped the knowledge of this list to find out how difficult a swap that would be if he simply bought a rebuilt unit and we installed it. I've never done it, but I honestly can't see it being much more than dropping a heavy part off a spacious RWD truck, and putting another back on. Other than smashing fingers or forgetting a connector it can't be rocket science, right?
The only issue that worries me would be if the engine and tranny have to come out as a unit to get to some of the bellhousing bolts. Then all bets are off and it becomes a major undertaking. Anyone know or have a source they could call and let me know if we can do this without taking the engine out?
Thanks in advance.
