Heh! Yeah, in doing some searching earlier when Mike mentioned
the reference to the 3 speeds in his service manual, I came across a
post from a guy asking some questions on a forum about the 36RH in his
'94 Ram Van. (!) Its just weird to think of that combination - a
Magnum engine and a 3 speed transmission built in '94 when the trucks
had been equipped with overdrive since the premagger days in the late
80's. :-)
