heavy duty dust cover
 

Does anyone know where I can get one of the HD 4x4 dust covers for a th400? Looks like it should have at least 6 3/8" bolts holding it on. Have one of the cheapo plastic jobs that normally would go on a 400 but the holes are in the wrong place and way too small. The old case I had fit it but the new one is thicker and a bit differently configured. Hope it all fits right. Anyway, couldn't find a dust cover so i thought I'd ask if anyone knows.

NO luck so far. What I'm looking for would be much thicker than a normal cover. Made of cast aluminum with ribs. Actually adds structural integrity. There are also two "arms" from what I hear that would run from a pair of "ears" on the cover to the front crossmember. The cover would have 6 3/8" bolts to secure it. This is a TH400K stamped HD on the case with a thicker bell housing than the regular ones.

Managed to find a picture of what it should look like, but not where I can find one. Take a look.

Hey, thanks!

Looks like $91.00 plus shipping, which is kinda steep, but I'm going to get one asap. Probably try and drill a plastic one to fit for now until I can afford it. Kinda seems silly to worry about a $100 bill when I've spent upwards of $3000 already on the engine and trans, but I'm flat tapped out. Had to put the last batch of parts on credit and I hate that, but I think I've got everything I need to get it running at least.

Thanks again for the link. I'll bookmark it for next month.

little less for you

Re: heavy duty dust cover
 

Even better. Thanks!

Just got the transmission in. I'm pretty excited. Didn't have a trans jack so I had to make do with an engine hoist, a ratcheting tie down strap, and the bottle jack that sits on the fender. Got kinda tricky there for a second but it's in there now. Have to put the fill tube in and connect the lines. Going to pick up the engine in about 10min and see if I can't get that dropped in and the hood on before it starts raining. I might actually get this thing running today if all goes well!!! I'm freaking excited! Haven't driven the truck in almost 2 months.

Well, i failed to finish it but the engine is in and bolted up to the transmission at least. I severely underestimated how long it would take to do by myself. Usually have help with this sort of thing but no one was available today.

Do you have the support pieces that goes from the engine side if the motor mounts to that style dust cover?

Of course not! :) That would mean I'd save some money. :)

I'm sure someone would have one sitting around they're not using. (prob. complete and cheaper)
