Yeah, before I had it done it was kind of sluggish and sounded like a diesel
with a dying injection pump. Now it runs like a raped ape. Just don't like
the gear hunting that goes on climbing hills.. it grabbed first at 45MPH
the other day, 5,500 RPM. Thought I'd have to stop at the hospital for
whiplash. My next truck will be a 5-speed.
Later,
