bell housing issue
Ok guy's
If you have the bell housing off .First stop the crack by drilling a hole at the end of the crack . A 1/4 " will do find . If you have a electric welder at your disposial ,take the bell housing and heat it up in a oven,take it out weld it with the proper rod they make several for cast iron.Then heat it up again and wrap it in aspstos blankets several ( any old blanket should do ) let it cool all night long . Then WITHOUT grinding anything replace it into the truck.
wham bam thank you mam. You also could braze it up with a aceteline torch
and should also apply the blankets .The trick is to slow down the heat loss so it wont crack again.
good luck
