U joints
Ok kinda put this on back burner. Found I had to use a wobble extension to get front driveshaft off - PITA Bought a battery powered impact wrench and like is so much easier with the ball joint press. So I started pulling the joints out and then realized I didn't mark which side was connected to make sure all goes back on same - is this a big deal for front driveshaft ? If so how to tell ? Pic below I will definately mark the rear when I start ... Just wanted to get the process down on the front shaft before truck is down for rear Pic Thx

ok any tips on how to get the 5/8th (~16mm) bolts out from the front driveshaft attached to transfer case without dropping the crossmember - its a tight fit in there even with a stubby wrench and then no leverage ....

How long to install injectors
true - but you were directing and slapping me to speed it up for dinner Since then I either have problems wtih the back of the VP44 (need a stubbier wrench) or with the connection tubes (couldnt get one out and took me forever and stripped all the threads) ... or leaks post button up .... Went with teh appraoch of not removingh lines from abck of VP44 .... probably quicker - but not easier as its tight clearance especially on #3 if changing connector o-rings also

How to tel if a tranny is/was modded?
Sounds like you got lucky considering it's aftermarket and it's not slipping with over 400hp Definately a nice addition for towing considering the extra cooling also you found. You could check line pressure without dropping pan to see how much % over stock you are running

Except my trans is built and when it hits lockup you better not be picking up spilt tacos off the floor - certainly launches after lockup
