I can do the cutting pretty easily I think. Just not sure how hard to remove the vent and actuator without breaking anything
It's not too bad.... as long as you don't have a center console. I had to pull the console in my Expedition when I replaced the motor..... talk about a PITA
If you have a ratcheting open end wrench, the back bolt on the motor is a lot easier to get to. I think they are 5/16 (or 8mm) if I remember right.
Finished up the brakes. Not 100% happy with everything but it'll do for now. Should finally be on the road next weekend! Plan on driving short trips to work all the bugs out.

Been a long time coming man! Glad to see you are finally getting it buttoned up.

yes woohoo no center console bec of my bench seats. Yep have 8mm ratcheting box wrench great. Cant get to get my hands on it this weekend
Today I started my rockers, doors, and cab corners project. Removed the seats and vinyl flooring and started cutting out rot.
Good luck with your project. I have seen several threads with this repair detailed, I may need to do it to the truck I'd like to get from a buddy. I was at my buddies the other day and noticed the passenger side rocker was very very thin. The truck has had a sunroof leak for years and the passenger floor is wet, all the time! I wonder how that is effecting the underside?
Removed the rear end and pressure washed it in preparation for a full rebuild, new gears and trac-loc.discovered the passenger side axle bearing surface is really eaten up.

How did you realize, was it growling real bad ? Is that a 975 or 88? Trying to decided whether to rebuild my 98's or find another with low miles.

Surprisingly it wasn't making much noise, it has 275k on it so I thought it was time. I was really surprised how bad the bearings were in it. I could barely turn the pinion by hand even without the carrier in it. It's a 9.75 btw.
