I think it was time for a center support bearing

Changed the transmission this weekend and put new U joints and carrier bearing in. I think it was time.

i wish i could find the picture from mine, it was literally just a flat washer left, and it went in one 30 mile trip from good to ****

what brand did you replace it with? I probably need to start looking at mine.

I think it was a Federal Mogul, I got it from Oreily's.

ya the theme is none of us check them until we have to cut them out when we replace transmissions LOL (atleast in my case we had to cut it out, makes it real fun with a short bed :morons

I was able to get one of the bolts out but I had to cut the other one.

on mine as soon as we tried getting it out the clips snapped from rust. we ended up cutting them out and replacing with grade 8's. I also have a new custom way of keeping the nuts tight, in the form of a wrench that is stuck in there that just so happened to be the perfect distance to hold both nuts at once. next time i have to weld something ill just weld the damn wrench in there.
