No ... I was not there for the disassembly.

I can't believe there is any advantage to this garage screwing me, ... they need the work, money, rep, ... and the space back.

The parts lady at the garage has sent back three orders of this part because "they were all shaped like a dinner plate, ... and the part that came out is flat flat flat".

Dunno, ... Raider madness.

I will return with a picture of the "disc" that came out, ... the shop opens Monday morning.

Thanks again for all the help.

Perhaps it ws just the wrong flex plate was installed? Or that the bushing that the flexplate centers on on the crankshaft is missing?

There are a few small parts needed to mount the flex plate and converter, if your missing one it could cause problems.

Print all this, show it to your mechanic and ask him to comment.

I am very intrigued to figure out what was installed in your truck.
