Wow! that exhuast tape really looks cool. And the popper is gonna come in handy while tailgating out in the middle of the boonies.
Thanks bro.
 
Thanks Scott,

Don't want anything getting to hot and the gauges are working, Just need the tach and get her to a hose shop for A/C and power steering hose. Should be there Monday if everything works out right. Keep me posted on the shift swap. I will make sure she is ready for you!:bounce:
 
Whooooooaaaaaaa

Hope you guys don't think I am goofing off....WELL A LITTLE, I have been playing with the throttle a little bit. :D

The battery was down a bit but she fired up. My daughter coaching her saying,"COME ON CAR!" helped a ton:grinpimp:

And if anyone say's that a Man-A-Fre 2F could ever have this acceleration PROVE IT!:flipoff2:


HAPPY SUNDAY SCOTT!! :bounce2:

Total capacity...That is a but load of fluid!! But I topped her off and she should be ready to rock. Got all the lights working and the lock out adjusted so I feel she can go for a early morning drive. See you bright and early.

The results from a quick 50 mile road test

Well I took her to work today. Still have an upshift problem. It likes to hunt for the OD gear. I believe it will be an accumulator spring that is to weak or the solenoid. But once it gets in gear 90 mph was not a problem and it humms along. The accelaration is good and I haven't even burned a 1/4 tank of fuel. Considering I was in it pretty good. No ECU faults other than the tranny hunting a gear, But she will do everything Scott could want and then some. Going to get the tranny straight before it goes to the hose shop. I called in Kelly to come by and test drive it. Then we will go from there.:bounce: But I am in love with that sound.
 
Would the 32" tires cause any of the shifting problem? The 33's are just around the corner; as soon as I cough up the $$$. (Baby might need a new pair of shoes).
 
The tires shouldn't affect the shifting. I could have some floaters in the valve body. Or the springs could be off on the accumulator since the pump is upgraded they need to be matched in order for it to work. Also checking all the grounds. Still the tranny won't need to come out for this Just the pan. I will work on it tonight and get her figured out. Don't want to get hoses until the truck is fully driveable and all the bugs are out. The transfer case solenoid is acting up. Need to check vacuum and signal. It goes intermittent and won't engage. Not that big of deal unless your doing 80 and it tries to engage. But all is well she is rolling and running great. Sure rides good on the highway. Keep you all posted.
