    I've ordered the Kit to rebuild the Trans and in a few days it should be here.. I think there must be an issue as It definitely DOES NOT shift up to 3rd. The kit includes a new modulator but i don't see it just being that if it shift fine in and out of second every time? I'm getting 15" vaccum...

    I got a little further with the vaccum issue also and checked the pressure from the pump (dont know why the picture is cock eyed) So i got 15in at the pump and also at the modulator .. I think i read that it should be 20"? I'm wondering if 15" is still functional ?? Comments ??

    Still waiting for the Leaf Pack Energy suspension bushes to arrive but i did put the sway bar back on after it got cleaned and painted and now sports the new ES bush kit.. I like the plasticoat paint I've been using and hoping that it is pretty durable ..

    Cleaned the spindles up, so i don't see me having a mission in the future to break it all down... They were on TIGHT! 27mm Socket seemed to be a good fit to drive out the Bushings.. Slit the spring pack.. Wire wheeled them and coated with the graphite that someone on here had recommended..

    Ive just bought the truck and done maybe 175 to get it home and around 50 at home .. the rest of the time has been spent going over Electrics (relay mod/shorts/gauge faults etc) Brakes and Front end bushes/ball joints steering etc. I'd just gotten to the trans and transfer case no

    Ok, Transmission fluid level didn't even make it on to the dip stick! With that in mind I've put in a Quart and still nothing showing... the how to says you should warm up the transmission? is it sufficient to be stationary and just shift a few times through the box with the brake on or is it...
