    Honestly I think it’s time to pull the old 350 and address some of those leaks

      Ha ha I no it leaks everywhere but at 278000 miles I might leak to lol its going to be pulled out sometime for that and maybe new main crankshaft bearing and rod bearing got a bit of a knock when she is cold

    You should have used a small pry bar to relieve some pressure off of the bolt. It would have made it so much easier for you to have removed that bolt.

      Yeah. I too learned the hard way after cussing my head off for about an hr. It was with another project but similar situation. Lol! I invested in a set of 4 pry bars from Harbor freight. About $10.00. Cheap but well worth the money for us DIY guys. Have saved me from many headaches. Thanks for posting. God bless.

      Yea I had it up on my old harborfrieght jack stands that held the truck up for a week while I did the lift kit in stall and this job but got crushed under my daughter's subaru lagecy I spent money on new 3 ton jack stands

      It may it helped stabilize my steering alot specially being a 23 year old truck that went from stock to lifted I never had death wobble but she wondered alot on the highway it helped take care of that for me
