Well guys finished her up. Got the yank and 2pc shaft in! I have zero vibration what so ever from the driveshaft swap. The torque converter was very easy and quick having a trans jack was a huge help. The 2pc swap wasnt so bad just have to be very precise with centering and setting angles having a plasma cutter and Mig machine made fab work super fast for the cross piece.
yank SST 4000 LS. Remember guys if your going with a yank converter you need to shim it when bolting her in place yank has specific allowance for the gap allowed. Ensure the snout has no ruff edges sand down any if needed. Dont fill it all the way with fluid for itll just dump out when you try to place it inside the tranny because youll have to stand it up I put about a quart in it.
Remove the transmission bring it back and down just enough so you can get the converter out.

When putting your new converter in slide the shaft into the snout and spin the converter back and forth slowly slightly pushing in at the same time. Do not shake the converter. The spines must line up 3 different times, every time they line up the converter will slide further onto the shaft. Once its all the way one you should roughly have about a finger gap behind the converter between it and the bell housing. (may be different for other converters)
This is the trans jack i used its a friends. Best thing to have if you plan on doing this on the ground. Doing this with a normal jack would be a confukulation.
Here is my cross member before i cleaned it up. 2.5" square tubing 3/16 think i made a T with that. Then i welded 3/16 plate i cut out over the bull of the T.
There are fuel lines inside the frame rail of the CCSB so instead of fighting them and welding the cross member inside of the frame rail I boxed in the frame with some plate and welded my crossmember to that.
Plasma cutter FTW
another, was a tight fit under the truck but overall it went smooth.
I cannot get the converter to lock up, Im getting the p0740 code which is the TCC solenoid faulted. So unfortunately i have to pull the pan and change that asap. DNW to drive around with a non locking 4k stall.
Here is a little video of me playing around. Remember It wont lock so it seems alot worse than it really is. Truck lacks on top end because i havent had time to install the cam yet. This is headers, tuned by me, and cai only.
