And hung the new cooler to see how things are going to fit together

I will not have the fittings until tomorrow so I couldn't figure out how to run the lines just yet, but that's coming right up

It was getting a bit late to pull the transfer case. I had to run over to HF to pick up another long reach jack to hold the trans up without a cross member or transfer case, and basically just ran out of time.

But I cleared the extra seat off the floor, reinstalling it to complete the passenger seating setup. This is what I am going to go with on the voyage

Progress, what about the tranny cooler?

Have you thought about using motorcycle jacks? They go higher than many jacks and the flat surface keeps things steady.

Oh, what do you use for your leather? Using the cleaner/protector is not doing it for me. Cleans fine, just doesn't seem to protect as it should.

Yea, on the leather
I think for this type of vehicle, leather is not the go to material at all. It will feel fine, but won't stand up to the dirt. Sitting around on rocks and the ground, then sliding (sanding) into the seat...ya..No-Go!

So, in Phase two, which I may get into after the trip, I was planning to pull the whole interior and dynamat the floors/walls/roof and redye (Actually paint) the seats a rich darker brown. I am going to play with the interior colors to change it to something like you see in the upscale Chevies and other top end truck interiors. Maybe even have new leather covers...

But for now, I am thinking something very Carhartt looking and made of canvas would be the ticket. Thinking back on the years spent in mil vehicles. all of those seats were canvas. Regular Army aircraft had a nylon like material seat covering, and our Special Ops birds had sheepskin seats. Not seat covers, it WAS the covering.

So having a lot of time in all of those seats, I have to say the dirt-poor, dumb as a country rock canvas stood up best to everything short of IED's. So, I normally lather a good oil based leather preservative, then slap a seat cover on top.

The Smittybilt ballistic nylon seat covers in the Duramax truck are working like gangbusters, but they won't stay put. the LBFC (Large butt friction coefficient) motors them all over the grid, and the straps require frequent tightenin'

So, in summary, I'm still lookin'

You might be able to only pull the trans mount out, unbolt the lowest nut on the transfer case, then lay a 2x4 in the cross member to rest the transmission on while you pull the case. That should allow it to drop low enough to get to the top nuts.
Just did an 07 the other day so it's still fresh in the noggin. (1/2 ton tho)

Trans mount is out already

But in this 2500 Suburban, there is a permanent crossmember just below the transfer case tail housing.
So to remove it I will need to:
1. Jack up and support the transmission
2. remove the bolts securing it to the transmission
3. Slide it aft, then somehow wiggle it forward through the opening I am still afforded
4. Get that sucker outta there!

I’ve never had a seat cover that would stay where I put them. Coworker of mine has a set of neoprene covers in his Jeep and and says they stay better than most and are holding up well.

I use the material that comes with the seat. When it wears out or gets stained to the point it really looks bad I will replace them. I hate fighting with seat covers trying to keep them in place. Why cover something up so they will look nice for the next owner. Use what you bought or replace them, not just add something over the top of what you have and fight with it all the time.

Bob, wife’s 4Runner & my trucks etc I don’t use seat covers. However, jeeps, early broncos and truck too old to have a working ac unit get covers. They get dirty, you pull them and wash them then reinstall. More about being able to clean the interior on vehicles that need it.

I agree with what you are saying Shawn. I was just saying if Don is fixing the Burb up for long term use, I think recovering the seats or using what is there would work better than a seat cover that moves around all the time.

I understand, think he was planning to darken up the interior. Probably a good idea that stain they use on mulch can ruin a light colored interior and well we know about Don and mulch beds.... :popcorn:

Don't start on the mulch beds!

This one is only getting a Dura-grip and not a full locker. I don't believe duragrips are rated safe for operation in mulch...

So, got the trans oil cooler finished up and ready to throw the front end stuff back on.

Then I creatively hooked up two -8 sized lines in big ole stress free loops.

I have actually seen this done in aircraft to remove any tension in the line when it was near a vibration prone area, so I knew it was OK to do.

All in all I'm happy with this installation

I ain’t a hydrologist but seeing how GM equipped it with one that was a third the size, I’d think it’ll work great. It has more fluid flowing through it and more space to be cooled. So, my non educated brain thinks it’ll work well.  Now let’s have someone smarter than I chime in.... and hopefully confirm my theory.

I generally tell folks to pull the grille for bumper installation.  Makes access to the hardware easy.

So the actual teardown is easy and straight forward. The snap rings presented the only challenge

A rubber plug covers the snap ring, and then there are two speed sensors on the output shaft. Odd, but the MA vid only showed one, but my NP246 definitely had two

There was no damage what so ever in my case. Looks as though the pump behaved itself...Or maybe the truck was never placed in 4WD...?

The line like marks are casting scale, not scratches or goorves...

So the actual teardown is easy and straight forward. The snap rings presented the only challenge

A rubber plug covers the snap ring, and then there are two speed sensors on the output shaft. Odd, but the MA vid only showed one, but my NP246 definitely had two

Anyone ever tell you , that you could be a hand model??......no...thought not..

It probably has 2 sensors becaus they knew it was going to a pilot. One for airspeed and one for ground speed.....

Cleaned that half up as best as i could, then treated it to a coat of the KBS epoxy paint.

^^^^ That paint looks like that when it is wet, but cures to look much smoother and more uniform

Hmmm, an aviation approved transfer case, a first!

SO here's the stock pump, and the same one modified with the Merchant no-gall replacement cover.
