That shift cable works in combination with the computer in adjusting
transmission shift points using current operating conditions, temperatures,
etc. It does not change shift point under full throttle use, only normal
driving conditions. Been there, done that, got the t-shirts and the scars.
Be careful adjusting that cable, it will cause your transmission to slip
into a lower gear at high RPM, like shifting into second when its time to
shift into third, nasty sound...

Hey Eric,
Can you do mine next?! I know how much you like to work on trucks and
all. BTW, when you going to install the cold air thing you showed me the
other day?
Later,
