Did it just drop out while you were underway; one second pulling and then next second only rolling?

You may not see tons of improvement in mileage with the 700R4. The 6.2 will be straining to maintain speed geared down with OD. In town mileage will likely increase with the 3.06 first gear. It's certainly a worthy swap.

Are you sure it is not the kick down switch on the throttle pedal or the shift modulator on the side of the injection pump?

Im pretty sure the shift between 2nd and 3rd had been feeling very spongy for a while plus there was the big white cloud of burnt trans fluid that was behind me before I realized it went and just started shifting between 1st and 2nd but I dont fix things until they break. I was expecting it to happen soon I was just checking out what I wanted to go back with last week and was planning on picking one up soon it just happened a little sooner than I wanted it to.

I think the idea behind the moth balls may have been to deter mice. I am not sure that works, but seems like I have heard that before.

Picked up a bunch of parts for my 86 1009 at the Findlay show. That's about all I've done recently.

I parked mine in the driveway, chained the steering wheel with the padlock, and flew to Hawaii for the week.
We have a beach cabin at Bellows AFS for the week. This is the view from the back door this morning.

Yesterday I went and did a little wheeling while I was close to a creek. On the highway I held that diesel at 3k (70mph) for very long stretches and I had no problems. It's a long ride from my house to dover in the cucv lol. Pipes popping, engine roaring, stereo rocking. But I had fun running it. The truck did great in the rocks and water I had. Water up to the bottom of the door a Couple times so I did wash the bottom of the truck lol

This week I just finished installing a 4 gauge dashpod and a new set of Goodyear Duratracs size 285-75R-16. As I now have 4.11 gears I decided to go that size. Hitting around 3000 rpm at about 60mph.

It takes 3k with the 4.11 to hit 60 in your truck?
Is it the box making it slower or what?

The truck looks great CUCVLOVER.
I am amazed that that creek there is running clear; beautiful!
I'm guessing that there are no subdivisions out that way. Is it all mostly rural with good cover crops?
Or am I totally wrong?

That is leatherwood Creek. I was on East fork leatherwood road. That is all hills and hollers, deliverance type area. Just little houses here and there with lots of rock in the ground and bedrock Clift's.
