Re: very frustrated
When I had my trans out for a rebuild and new clutch, I had to pull the 2 bolts that hold the carrier bearing to get enough clearance to get the driveline out. That may be different than yours since these trucks came with a few different carrier bearing designs. It was no big deal for me since I also replaced the carrier while I was under the truck.
Racer2172 is correct though... You either drop the tranny, or pull the motor. Besides checking out your timing chain and such, pulling your motor will allow better access to the starter mounting holes should you need it. And if you have a leaky pan gasket, this would also be the time to change out that (and take a rare peek into your bottom end to check out the health of that).
But then there's something to be said for dropping your tranny too. Most shops will do a re-seal for less than $200.
