Well, not the good kind!
My truck is like a Cornucopia, the more you go in to fix, the more you find to fix. But is this really what I wish for? Anyways, I noticed while doing some investigative disassembly on the timing chain and sprockets for my rough idle/power reatarded timing condition that my oil cooler lines had some substantial leaking. Ok, hoses age, went to take them off. I removed the front driveshaft, and oil cooler lines and find this little treasure! How about a cracked Bell-housing to brighten you day! The previous owner told me that he put in a "aftermarket" "high performance" clutch. Who knows what caused the crack, overtorquing or the clutch and flywheel itself. When you are done laughing at my misfortune, if you have the time, please throw some ideas out there to these 3 questions;
1. Does my truck, a 94 K3500, VIN F 6.5, supposed to have a dual mass flywheel for torsional vibration control?
2. How many bolts hold the bellhousing to the transmission, just the four I see on the outside?
3. do you recon that bad motor mounts, the aftermarket LuK clutch without the dual mass flywheel, or overtorqueing of the bolts could cause this?
Thank you all for your time and take care!
