    Warwag - m1028

    congrats Looks like you got a good truck I would bet with the yellow stipes on oil pan you have a newer engine in it at least . Mine shifts at a higher rpm when cold and on high idle but once the fast idle kicks down at 110 deg by the gauge it shifts sooner check vac lines and injoy the truck...
