Hi All,
    I am in the middle of looking at various problems and I may have to
inspect the
Torque Converter to ensure it is not loose.

1-Do I have to pull the starter to get the Torque Converter cover off? I
am assuming yes,
but I thought I'd ask anyway.

2-Do I have to put the truck up on jack stands, or is this just to make
it easier to crawl under? I have 36" tires so I have tons of clearance
even with my fat stomach.

3-Will I be able to get at all the bolts that might need tightening once
I get the Torque Converter cover off?

4-Is this a simple procedure as it appears, or are there some time
consumming gottchas?

Hopefully It will not come to this, but I am just preparing for all the
procedures I may have to go thru.

Thanks for all the help!
