Waved goodbye to my 5 ton today :cry: Driveway looks too empty now. But the truck went to a good home.. It was purchased by a very nice couple from Iowa.
I will say that changing to NAPA trans fluid really helped relax the 2-1 downshift on mine. I was going to change the fluid on mine regardless, so I figured why not. I'm glad I did it.
It's been a long time since I did mine.. But I seem to remember you are supposed to check it with the engine idling, and only once it reaches operating temp (I don't recall there being a specific temp listed.) Hopefully someone else chimes in though. It might be different regardless, since mine...

As far as updates are concerned, I'm pretty sure I saw him recently in the thread about turning up the 8.3 engine.. I think he was having EGT issues after adjusting his fuel.
That's a cool idea :beer: 8) Very original.. Can't say I've ever seen someone do that. Of course, there may very well be a reason for it. Finding one of those cabs by itself might be difficult, unless you already have a line on one from a truck that someone is parting out. Also wondering if...
