Miggity Mike! You've been around here a long time
too,sir!
Actually,my 4.7 Dak has a nasty 1st to 2nd clunk,but
I've learned to just keep a little throttle on it
until it shifts past. So it hasn't clunked for years!
I love that 4.7 and 45RFE tremendously! Almost as fast
as an R/T! :)
The 3.9 truck is a CC,and it has a mile-long
driveshaft. So I can believe it would have U-joint
issues.
Thanks! Steve P.
