AArrgghhh...trouble with Yeller

OK, here are some more pics.

As you can see, the front of the trans is OK, it is the entire body that, to me, is too close for comfort.

Tell me what you guys think.

Thanks.

That's close for shure but i don't think it will be a problem but it could get a bit warm in the cab from the eng/trans heat.

Maybe the BB eng. stands will lower it and your prob. is solved

That looks resonably normal to me.... And in lieu of the body mounts being in the "low" position as you say you think it is in the pic, I would say it is normal. The engine mounts aren't going to gain you much clearance at the trans body though (in my opinion) That is determined by the trans mount where you are having problems (if I am interpreting your concern correclty) If the engine mounts posistion it 1" lower, you are only moving the front of the trans (bell) down and the rear at the mount won't move.

Just flipped to Mike's pic, and his looks the same as yours relatively (minus all the DIRT )

What issues are you having wiht the body mounts? Care to post a pic of that also? I have never had issues with the PST bushings, and that is all I have ever used....
