    Any new problems after turbo install?

    I have been thinking about putting a turbo on my 1984 M1008.

    M1008 Transmission shifting late

    It is shifting from 1st to 2nd around 30mph. I also did not have any real problem until I decided to change my modulator a few weeks ago, because it was shifting a little hard. After I changed it the truck drove great for about an hour then it started shifting late.
