Re: Sm420 install
Killer bee is correct on the trans jack and I actually have the same one. I still usually use the block of wood method to get the trans onto the jack once under the truck. I have had pretty good success with the factory plate and a 2x4 to help level odd shaped trans. Instead of the factory chain I use a cheap ratchet strap to retain the trans to the jack to keep it more secure. Also be careful with the plate adjusters. Once they get moved so far in one direction it can flop around some. I try to use killer bees method to roll the jack under the vehicle also but ran into some problems on certain frames, usually 4x4s.
