Figured out where to put the trans spin on filter, and it is under truck on the frame.
I could have force fit this next to cooler, but I was thinking, I dont want ATF dripping down if I change the filter.
I drilled and tapped for three 1/4-20 grade 8 bolts. And that was TOUGH! Drilling is ok, but tapping is not.
The frame steel seems to be hardened. I broke one tap and had to pound it out of the hole with a punch and 3 lb sledge. I did make a cardboard template to get the holes drilled in the right spot. I used a short tiny wrench to tighten the side bolts.
Retaping worked with a new tap and a new drill. But it is easy to break. Likely better to over drill the hole slightly bigger.
What others seem to do is drill a hole and simply run in a screw, not a bolt.
I will finish this tomorrow. Since its 4x4, I had to make sure the drive shaft wont hit the hose ever, will show how I did that later.
