Where are the frost plugs on the automatic transmission of a 1989 chevrolet cheyene 2500 pickup truck

Anonymous May 11, 2010

The engine in a vehicle is the only thing that has frost plugs, The idea is that if the antifreeze protection is not enough to stop the coolant from freezing, then the plugs will pop out before the engine cracks. Transmission fluid and oil do not freeze, as a rule, they become very viscous, but do not freeze. If they do, thy would not expand like water, causing the housing to crack. Freeze plugs are located on the underside of the engine block, usually under the manifold. They are on both sides of the block. Please rate this answer. Thank you.

There should be 8 frost plugs on this engine. Two in the front, behing the ps pump and alt, two in the back of the engine, it will be necessary to RR transmission and 4 underneath, under both motor mounts, the starter and one you can see on the drivers side of the motor.

I have a 1989 Chevy 2500 4x4. I put it in 4 high and it feels like it is only engaging on one side of the front end. I still have some grip up front but the pickup pulls back and forth on the road.

bad locking hub.. pull them and clean them.. if you don't use your 4x4 often, they have a tendency to stick. even the electric hubs get gummed up.

How do I remove automatic transmission from 1993 Chev 2500 pickup?

TRANSMISSION REMOVAL IN STEPS.
The Drive Shaft

Using a 1/2-to-2-ton floor jack, lift the front of the truck and place jack stands under the frame. Once the truck is lifted enough for you to safely move around under it, begin removing the four bolts connecting the U-joint between the drive shaft and the rear axle. When you pull the drive shaft out of the tail shaft, transmission fluid will pour out of the tail shaft, so place a drip pan or oil-changing pan under the tail shaft of the transmission.

Lines And Linkage

If the truck is an automatic, you will need to remove two transmission lines from the passenger side of the transmission by the bell housing close to the transmission dip stick. If it's a manual transmission you won't have those lines, but you will have shifting linkage on the driver's side of the transmission. Depending on the year of the truck, the linkage is held on by either a cotter pin or locking-sleeve washer. You will also need to remove the speedometer cable. If it's an older truck, it will be a hard-cased cable similar to the emergency brake cable that threads onto the driver side of the transmission just before the bell housing. If the truck is a newer model, it will be an electrical set of wires attached to a plug on the tail shaft.

Remove From Engine

Remove the transmission mount bolt that holds the tail end of the transmission to the cross member on the frame. You will need to either use wood blocks or a jack to support the weight of the transmission. Take out the nine bolts on the bell housing that attach the transmission to the engine--there is one on the top center of the bell housing, two along each side of the bell housing and two on each side at the bottom next to the guide pins.

Remove From Vehicle

Once removed, maneuver the transmission to the rear of the truck about 6 inches until it clears either the clutch kit of a manual or the torque converter of an automatic. When the transmission is free, lower the bell housing end of the transmission down until the tail shaft is clear of the cross member.
