Update: Just ordered a dial indicator for crank/trans end play measurement I figured it was time to stop mooching off my techs at work. also got my bearings coming for the crank at .020 with some body mounts and hood bumpers.
No real work on the truck yet been raining almost every day in the afternoon and today I was rewarded with a check engine light by my daily driver so I spent the evening diagnosing that and ended that with more questions then answers thats how things seem to work sometimes
