Nope...magic...people just don't believe me when I tell them it just sits there...

Pre-op ready...tomorrow, after the trans fluid has cooled to room temp, I'll pump the sump empty...then pull the pan and let the trans continue to drain over night...Friday, new filter to be installed...I don't anticipate that all 12 quarts will come out so my supply should be more than enough...

Ohhhhh, ohhhhhhh,....

Que the dramatic surprise music when next morning you walk into a 5 qt drain pan overflow that has had time to seek everything but the garage door opening...??

Hard to believe there're people out there trying to remove a transmission sump full of dirty fluid...

Belly of the beast...after pumping out, the pan came down without spilling a drop...

Old versus new...note the reusable round intake seal in the middle...

Careful when removing the pan as not to damage the reusable gasket...

Think I'll wait over night and see how much more comes out...

Paper paint tarp with plastic backing is smart...

Now the stance is right...added four 1.25" spacers to each corner to fill out the Air Design 2" flare extensions...starting from +55 to +20 wheel offset added 1.4" to each side adding around 2.5" total...now with this addition total gain is near 5.5" in track width......I should've started with a -12 wheel offset and not need the spacers but I had no idea this would be where I end up ?

BTW...I found a third technique to torque front wheel spacer while they're up in the air...first is have someone hold the brakes...second is the pry bar through studs against the floor...my method was to put the truck into 4 low...when I jacked one side to install/torque the spacers, the hub is locked by they other wheel on the ground...

Hey Sid, long time listener, first time caller - your thread motivated me to do some mods and get a little creative.

Did you have to do some trimming in the front wheel well / bumper when you went with different wheel and spacer combo?

Hi Jake...I didn't need to trim wheel well/bumper but both front and rear crash bars needed to be removed...I explained that process somewhere in this thread...

Ha ha...no worry...not much more came out...that cement mixer catch tray is HUUUUUUGE...small swimming pool lol...

Another milestone reached...thank God we got rid of Orange Man...if we still had that cheap gas, I'd be over 120K by now...?
