Need help to install tranny & engine (1 Viewer)

[David Hollenback]

Guys you all have encouraged me and gave me some great advice on how to do this. I cannot and I tried for 3 straight days. I am tired and frustrated. I put my rig up for sale and all extra parts on the classified section. If it sells before it gets installed I am fine with that. However, I was wondering if anyone local would help me. I would make it worth your wild. I could pay you some cash or give you parts for your service. let me know.

I live in Weaverville NC

I'd suggest posting up in the NC clubhouse: NC- Olde North State Cruisers

There's no shortage of Cruiserheads across NC always willing to lend a hand and some expertise.

Would you help me. I will pay you. What would you charge? I would be there right by yourside learning along the way.

I personally am not skilled in installing your engine. As I said, post up in the clubhouse - there are many people out your way who'll likely help for beer + food.

While it may be frustrating it is certainly not so complicated that you should give up and sell your truck-which you will regret as soon as it's gone
If you were in NY I would have that sucker installed and you would be driving it already
As others have suggested-fit the pilot bearing,assemble engine,tranny,transfer and then install as one unit.
With your lift and leveler along with a floor jack and some helping hands you will kick yourself once you see just how uncomplicated these vehicles are.
Step away,take a deep breath and wait to hear from someone close by who can help.
You will forget all about the frustration as soon as you fire it up the first time

Good to see you're connecting with the local Cruiserheads. You'll get things sorted out soon and have a bunch of new friends.
How cool is that
