We've both been restoring our rigs tackling a lot of the same items over the past year so I am sorry to hear about you selling Falcor. The next owner will be getting a well sorted truck!
The trans does get better. Mine did NOT like going into some gears initially but even after only a hundred miles or so, it's smoothed out a lot. I'm hoping to squeeze in another couple hundred miles on my truck to do the first fluid change before the road trip to GSMTR.
Glad you got it back...
That's a good first piece of the large parts pile that will be acquired to do the job! I'm hoping to do this same upgrade this year in between trips and projects.
BTW: nice Para 2. I have one with copper scales and it's great.
Also just finished reading through this thread and wanted to say great work on the rig! Inspiring me to add some items to my to do list on my new truck as well even though I’m just getting started.
