Not entirely sure what this is. Anyone know?
no idea
Also. Need some tips on the transmission swap. Read the tech section, and not sure how mine is going to go.
I guessing I'll need to swap floor plates along with the shifters. May have to do some cutting, etc.
Floor plates should swap, will need to trip the carpet probably.
Will driveshafts need to be swapped? The trucks have the same 7.5 rears, but the 1990 has the 35 front diff, and mine has the 28.
Front driveshaft will need swapped (D35 needs a slightly shorter driveshaft) Rear depends on truck configuration and what trans the '88 has.
Also, worth tearing down the M5OD? The shifter feels like it has entirely too much play in it, especially in 5/R.
There is bushing kit for the shifter that is cheap and pretty easy to install
Couldn't get it running today, though it tried like hell to run. Sounds like there is too much fluid in the cylinders. Oil and coolant are mixed fully. Still not sure if it's a head gasket, intake gasket, or head. There is an oil scum all over the engine bay. Yay fun!

Sounds like the engine's best days are behind it.
