George, the tranny came from under the 4WD caked with gunk worse as i have EVER seen on any vehicle. The engine and engine bay were just as bad. The truck had been run with useless front and rear engine crankshaft oil seals until the driver finally forget to add oil to the crankcase while checking the fuel level (hehe, old Oklahoma driver joke) and seized the engine, ruining the crank, block and chewing the timing gears to confetti. It took q lot or gasoline and elbow grease to get the tranny case and engine bay back down to the level of the original paint.

One of those high-flutin' hot water steam cleaners would have been helpful, but it was so bad that scraping with putty knife would have still been required.

Yea, I am not native to WV and don't know what to make of Joe Manchin. All politicians are traitors these days, even the best of them should be drawn and quartered then fed to the hogs. Don't get me started on Jews LOL.
