    Need driveshaft parts numbers or where to look please

    Thanks for all of the replies... we have a fabulous shop here in the Birmingham, AL area. I will pull it and take it there. You are a wealth of info. I've never had to deal with driveshaft issues before.

    Need driveshaft parts numbers or where to look please

    The rear driveshaft in my 88 C3500 is slightly bent and vibrating. Not too bad, but bad enough that I want to replace it. Can I just replace the rear of the two piece shaft? Does it just slide off the spline coming out of the carrier? If I can just replace that one shaft, can someone please...

    Extended cab side window head scratcher

    The driver's side is like that; the passenger side has NOTHING. No hinges at all. So, the driver's side is correct, and I need hinges for the passenger side, correct? Just don't want to order something I don't need. Thanks for the response.

    Extended cab side window head scratcher

    My 88 C3500 extended cab has a head scratcher where the pop out windows are concerned. The driver's side has the hinges that, I suppose, the windows glue into. It looks like a bolt goes through, but I figured that was for show. The other side has... nothing. I never noticed until it tried to...

    HELP!! TH400 tranny cooler lines...

    It has a lot of fluid on it... and the puddle was big; like 15x18 inches or so.

    HELP!! TH400 tranny cooler lines...

    Passenger side under the tranny. Not overfilled. I've had it for over a year. I regularly check all of my fluids; it was in the safe zone between low and full.

    HELP!! TH400 tranny cooler lines...

    It puked at least half a quart after I pulled into the driveway... it took it a day to a day and a half... all in one big puddle. Does that fit into the narrative above?

    HELP!! TH400 tranny cooler lines...

    Anyone have thoughts on this? Look... I'm really ignorant when it comes to trannies... after I put the high line back on (after pulling it and checking it) I filled it up with fluid and drove it several miles down the road and back. It pulled and shifted just like it always did. When I got...

    HELP!! TH400 tranny cooler lines...

    No... it was so late when I got in on Sunday, then it was too rainy that week to even think of crawling around on the ground under it. Sunday was my first chance. I guess I'll splurge on enough fluid to fire it up and see where it's leaking... Thanks so much for the info!

    HELP!! TH400 tranny cooler lines...

    It blew out coming up a very long, steep incline pulling my pontoon boat... spraying fluid all out behind the truck... when I got to the driveway it poured out into a big puddle on the driveway. So not just a leak, LOL...

    HELP!! TH400 tranny cooler lines...

    I pulled the high pressure line and inspected it closely. It has no visible signs of damage. What is the next best place to look? I guess I can fill it back up with fluid, drive it, then see where it's leaking... maybe I should have done that to begin with, but I was just relieved to have truck...

    HELP!! TH400 tranny cooler lines...

    It actually looks like the 4L60 is more like the TH400 so far as where the high and low lines go into the trans... lots to think about...

    HELP!! TH400 tranny cooler lines...

    Sorry I've been out of pocket and not able to keep up with my own question... I thought about the 4L60 and the 4L80, since it's more like the TH400 compared to the TH350 being more like the 4L60, and pulled up similar pics of both of them and a TH400. I have been thinking that it could be...

    HELP!! TH400 tranny cooler lines...

    So... a set for a 4L80 would NOT work? No way to start with something close and make modifications? I'm not averse to making my own... but I also hate reinventing the wheel.
