Re: Big oil leak problem near filter

Your truck is a 4x4, like mine, so having the ball stud screw directly into the engine block is correct. I believe the 2x4 setup requires the bracket on the engine block that was mentioned above. The difference is due to the fact that the engine on 4x4 models sits farther back towards the firewall than in 2x4 models.

Also note that there are many different z-bars configurations out there! you can't just grab one and expect it to work. There are z-bars for inline six engines and V8s, 2x4 and 4x4. They are all different. You need a z-bar for a 4x4 V8 application. This goes for the frame mounted bracket as well. I am assuming that your frame mounted bracket is riveted on, so it is correct. If it is bolted on, there is a chance you have the wrong frame bracket as well. I went through this when I converted my Blazer from TH350 auto to SM465 manual. I will try and get some pictures of my linkage, which I believe is correct for the 4x4 V8 application.
