    Holy jumping shift lever, Batman!!

    Lance , I was going to tell you to check Trans. Bolts, but it seems you found that out!! I can't tell you how to tighten the bolts without removal of Trans. Check it out good and see if you can get a wrench in there, even if you have to Heat up the Wrench and Bend it to your Desire. I have many...

    M1008 will not turn over/crank

    Be sure the Starter is Tight and secured. I have gone to change starter and fount the starter Bolts Loose, which will cause starter to Bind. Be sure to replace the End Support, if it is even there. # out of 3 that I have had, did not have the support. The ARMY is TOO lazy to replace them . Phil

    STARTER WOES

    Has anyone noticed how a 6.2 will Kick Back sometimes when trying to start? I think this is what causes the bolts to Break. I got a truck where the Corner Ear broke off the Block.
