The TC has two separate splines, when installed into transmission you should feel each spline engage and TC will slide inward with each engagement.
I believe freeze plug is a misnomer, not for a frozen engine block.

TC can be tricky to reinstall, if it is not fully seated than tranny will not mate to engine.

When we put the trans back up to mate it with the engine, it slid on a little bit and then slid on even further on the next push. Its damn close to being on. I think the dust cover plate on the top part where the starter goes is the issue.

Installed the junkyard 10-blade fan. Had to repair the housing, and splice some wiring, otherwise pretty straightforward swap

.... Hung a washing machine off the back of it on the hitch-mounted cargo carrier I have. I don't know why, but I just love loading this thing down. The 4.0 sure doesn't care - AW4 doesn't seem to mind either.
didn't even catch that! I can't even blame auto-correct 'cause I was on the computer and not my phone! :ROFL:

alright before anyone says anything - I know, I know... Bomba en espaņol = pump and Combustible = fuel, but it's still kinda funny.

I happily proved a lot of people wrong when I did that, cause back then almost everyone said that combination couldn't be done. I got a lot of my info from ktmracer, who used to do rock crawling competitions.
On a side note, the Camaro is looking toward the sky cause it didn't have an engine in it at that point

Edit: Actually didn't have the right hardware off the old radiator. Put those adapters onto the new one and it fits perfect!
