DOUBLE WHAMMY!!! Shattered flexplate and shot steering box-DOH

Its raining and its pouring!!!!

Had a ticking noise, in gear, from underneath the K30. Removed the inspection cover and saw that it was scraped up. Looked in and saw the flex plate is cracked- um shattered. All the way around the converter. I gotta check the movement at the balancer today. Fingers crossed

And figured out why the truck has been jerking violently left and right after turns. Steering box is wasted. A ton of up and down movement and popping at the pitman arm. Doesn't look like the frame is cracked thankfully. But if I have to yank the 350 then it will make doing the box easier!!!!!! Redhead has my box in stock also, so that's a plus(I guess)

Good times!
