Aahh...words of the men who did not spend time doing bodywork or paint on their truck. I spend 1-1/2 years doing all the body and paint work on my truck, I was sweating bullets when it was time to put my fenders on. I would kill the man who dents my truck in a parking lot....

On a side note, she looks purdy gunner! I got a set of slicks laying around if you wanna take her to the track...LOL

You remove the transmission pan. All the fluid will start spilling over the edges as you unbolt it, and there's about 4 quarts in there. It's pretty easy, but it's a very messy job. Make sure you have a very wide catch pan, and lay lots of cardboard down underneath it for good measure. As soon as you get the pan off, the filter is right there. It's held in with 1 bolt.

[doorgunner]

The white dog.......dodge is my son-in-law's (yep it's got a hemi)


A couple more pics (didn't get the fancy air pressure gage connected--I need another t-fitting).

One hour later....shocks are installed & tubing is run to firewall.




Topher.......Now....do I have the nerve to go back out there and cut the diamond-plate to size???????????????????????????

EDIT: It was 100 degrees this afternoon when I went back out-side.....I unloaded the diamond-plate to start measuring & marking it for cutting......within 30 minutes it was thundering & lightening so much that I didn't need a spot-light to see the tape measure....shutting down til tomorrow!
