I'm helping do work at a friends Trans shop.

 

Im getting "practice" pulling CTD 4x4 transmissions

Took me from about 2 + hours to get it out. My first time on one of these

 

Second gear band was either broken or completely worn out.

I'll find out this morning what else is wrong with it

 

The owner had those locking front hub spindle kit installed, Yukon IIRC, and it had a red head steering box, steering brace, and new one piece tie rod installed

 

 

 

 

Third Gen trucks are quite a bit easier to get the transmissions out of than Second Gen trucks, that's for sure!

THe owner brought in what he says is a ATS triple disc TC he wants install. It looks used or has been sitting round for years.??? No box and the TC is bare metal with surface rust on it, not painted. Maybe ATS's come unpainted??

 

  We told him no , but he insisted. He is getting No warranty on his trans.

Wow !

I got it installed and running this morning. Trans works good , his ats TC locks up a little hard

 

They guy had been out slinging mud, There was dried caked mud between the trans and the transfer case  and the cross member was full of dried mud and rocks. I had to clean all that dried dirt out
