Thanks! I wanted to bring up another issue about my tranny. It is the
one component on the truck that has been disappointing. It is perhaps
the worst auto I have ever driven. Especially at issue is part
throttle kick-down. It takes alot of accel pedal movement to get it
to kick down a gear to pass or to just pick up the pace. Especially
noticable on the highway (usu. I drive with O/D on as one might
expect). I can be going 70 - 75 on the interstate at about 1/4
throttle and go to pass someone and gradually depress the pedal to try
to initiate a downshift. Sometimes I get the downshift but often not
until I slam the padal all the way to the floor. Often when I do
finally get a down shift it will shift down two gears instead of one
(which is all I really need) and for a brief couple of moments the
engine wails up to 5200 -5300 rpm before shifting back up. It's kind
of like rolling the dice to see what the trans will give you. I see
alot of the engine's power being squandered with this erratic trans
action. The trans has a shift kit by Level 10 and this does well in
firming shifts and staying on schedule when accelerating strongly from
a dead stop. But when it comes to shifting up and down in traffic, I
want my manual tranny back!

H - Hydraulic
E - Electronic
They are the same except the RE has an electronically modulated line pressure
solenoid with line pressure feedback to the ECM (ie - The ECM controls the
line pressure on the throttle valve and therefore the shift points and shift
durations). The RH is purley a hydraulic valve body with a hydraulically
controlled line pressure. Both tranny's have two solenoids on the valve body
- one for the overdrive, and one for the lock-up torque converter.
