    5ton trans question

    So I'm digging in to change out the bad t/o bearing. When I pulled off the tunnel I see an open port between the air valves. So what is suppose to be there?:confused: How many bolts are in your bellhousing?:shock: Must have been a "pilot program" for cutting weight.

    809 Series rims

    A couple of quick questions; 1) How wide is the stock factory rim on the 5-ton? b. How big of a tire will fit on the factory rim? C} If you compress the sidewalls will a 16.00 x 20 XL fit on the stock rims? This ends the $50 questions. The $100 questions are next and they're a little bit...
