Tim, when I start off in 2nd gear, I have to get almost up to 10 mph before it shifts into 3rd gear. Is that how yours did pre-gear change? What is your mph now before it goes into 3rd?

Tim, I'd like to see photos and costs of the operation it you wouldn't mind. Just in case someday.... you never know.

It took a couple of hours to do the installation of the block heater. Here is the procedure of how I did it. I first drained the anti-freeze in a couple of 5 gallon buckets with the use of a 14" piece of 1/2" PEX tube. I had put one end of the PEX tube in a vise and squeezed it to have a good...

If your going lower it just to get it in the shed, then let air out of the front two tires manually until it fits. Un-hook the CTIS. Or better yet use the hydraulics to lower the cab down. It will stay there until it comes out of the shed and you unhook the chains.

What is the distance you would have to tow it? You could always stop every 10-20 or so and start the truck and put it in drive and reverse a few times and push and pull a distance of 10-20 feet and move the transmission oil. Just a thought, I wouldn't tow it, there is a lot of money in a...

No, just need oil. Some have heard of the hubs with no oil and ruined them but it's rare. Are you driving it home? Just check for any heat build up.

Congrats!! Check all the fluids. The hubs are one thing I didn't know. I kept feeling the hubs for heat and they were good. Make sure you know how to use the lights, you'll need turns and brakes.

I just put mine at 4 or 8 and filled until I seen oil start to run and then plugged.

There is a solenoid beside the starter that energizes starter solenoid. Mine had a lot of white silicone goo on it. When mine wouldn't start one time it was a broken eye connector on that solenoid. Another time it was a broken eye connector on the starter solenoid. I have taken all them apart...

My guess was for taking oil samples.

Is this the one? $15 + $18.57 freight.

That wasn't Photoshop. I just snagged that .jpg off of Ebay.

Also... What are these two items used for? It say Trans oil and Engine Oil below the two buttons. They have stainless steel braided lines running into someplace.

Is this it? If so, I'll can let you know where to send the new car! :) Also..... can anyone tell me what is in the area of the red square?

I ordered a Kat's part # 30202 off of Ebay for $38.70 (left photo) Just about went with Zerostart 350-0015 off of Amazon for $66.71 (right photo). Time will tell :) If you are looking for a block heater the freeze plug is 1-3/4" or 44/45 mm.

I don't have a problem with my truck, I just like know all the parameters of this truck. Just like all my vehicles, I just enjoy the engineering and like to understand them. I might not ever do any adjustments on the transmission programming but if I wanted to, I would know what's available and...

I do like the paint idea... Why didn't I think of that! Glad I ask.

I replaced the compression fitting with a Push-Loc fitting. It is real easy to undo and reconnect for adding a few drops of oil to lubricate the U-Cup seal and others .

Just wanted to see if I wanted to start adding any chrome. Any thoughts? I'm just not sure since the wheels have CTIS. Leaving one off might kill the look.

Well, I removed the ECM unit part way so I could see the label on the side. It shows the CIN numbers that Allison needs to see what program is in the unit and see what can be done to reprogram it. He first said to just reset the shift pattern and see if it helps but he thought it wouldn't...
