My brother being the ******* MVP that he is came over after work to help me drop the transmission, inspect everything and reinstall it.

Thinking I might email AAM about it but I doubt I'll get anywhere.

Anyway that saga is over. I also solved the intercooler piping issue. I've got some stuff left to tighten under the car, the front end to install and the interior to clean up.

I may strike up the ambition to pull the fuel pump assembly again to see whats up with the level sender.
