Re: PO has me PO'd
 had to reverse the mounting plates, since they would interfere with the shift arm, also radiused the plate about 3/32". Then it was just drilling 2 5/16" holes and cutting 2 parallel lines with my Dremel cutoff wheel  bending the ring to match the hump is the next challenge   next step is to work on the actual linkage...problems! Seems the billet aluminum arm on the trans. is better suited for 5/16" then the 1/4" rod and ends that come with the kit. Sooo, calling McMaster-Carr, they had the rod ends and rod instock (5/16"), ship today, have tomorrow. Gotta luv a welled stocked hardware store online

Re: PO has me PO'd
 went a little beefier then the stock screws, it's a truck ,right? still have to trim the boot more rod ends w/studs to replace the original parts, 5/16" instead of 1/4"

Re: PO has me PO'd
 the advantage of using a stud on the rod end is that the billet arm has a recess machined in the backside, and this is just the right size to hold the hex head of the stud  don't forget to use anti-sieze on any stainless hardware, or it will gall and snap the bolt...still need to change out to a stud, probably change to LH thread to make it easier the adjust

Re: PO has me PO'd
that's funny Redthis angle fits your statement better  new set back... PO felt the need to resize the pivot bolt hole for the transfer case shifter, no provision for the bushing, just drilled and tapped bigger. Out comes the T/C, again! All I wanted to do was mount the ring and boot, but that ain't happenin' till I fix the pivot bolt, and while I'm in there, I might as well put new seals and bearings in the coupler

Houston, we have a problem! J/K, sorry to hear you have to take it out again, I know re-engineering crap sucks. Luckily, I only had to pull the T/C twice when I put the throwout bearing in backwards.
