I can't say I have.

 

It's only if I easy in, everything smooth as butter when it shifts at a higher speed, feels like it locks up without any slippage whatsoever under light throttle and low speed...all other gears are fine all the time.

 

Hhmmm.....well maybe at the next wrench day like you said you can take me for a spin. Now you got me curious.

 

That sounds weird, definitely like to see what you are talking about. It isn't something as simple as accidently slipping the auto over to 4 instead of D is it?

 

Planning a trip to Harlan KY over Memorial Day weekend. All are invited! If you have not been to Harlan you need to come! (Peter )

Harlan is some of the best wheeling on the East coast and has everything from mild to wild and the easier stuff parallels the crazy stuff so you can always watch the idiots break there stuff

More details to come, but pencil it in, you will not be disappointed, I promise, money back guarantee!

 

How are you doing in the four wheeler challenge voting?

 

Well its not really voting, the magazine staff picks based on comments and what they want the demographic of the group to look like. Positive comments help, but comments aren't counted as votes.

I would say I have my fair share of comments, I would love to get picked for sure!

By the end of next week, I should know if I am picked or not

 

no it was only going into OD (5th)
checked my transmission fluid level yesterday..sure enough it was about 1/2-3/4 quart overfilled, I let it drain to the propper level and drove the truck to the gym and back...shifted way better and it seems that less force is needed to get it from P to D...looks like I had too much fluid in there from factory and maybe overpressure!?

 

Wow man...that's kinda fucked up! I'd take it in to get looked at to make sure nothings is messed up.

 

I am glad you figured it out!

 

If anyone is interested I have some stuff for sale:

Tire Carrier for the Bed

Stock:
UCA
Leaf Springs
Bumper
Hitch

Pictures coming soon!

 

if my zone of Chicago didn't require bed covers 24/7, I would jump on that tire carrier. I'll have to stick to ratchet straps

 

How much for the tire carrier?

 

It is still in good shape, I was hoping $150? Is that too much? They are $284 new. Comes with all bolts, strap and lock for the spare tire.

Ok cool...give me first dibs and a couple days before I let you know. I should come a little prepared... like with a spare if I'm gonna do a little wheeling with you guys right. Lol
Does this thing bolt down?

 

You got it man I can give you a few days. It is really easy to install.

You should have a spare. I mean we could use one of ours to get you off the trail, but definitely best to have one.

It bolts to the track in the bed. It technically doesn't even touch the ground. Your truck would be better for it than mine because you have the long bed! You would still have plenty of room for truck stuff.

 

Cool...I should've asked you in the last post. Can I take it on and off easy? As if I need to utilize my entire bed and need the room.
Why are you getting rid of it? Did you get your rear bumper with swing out tire carrier?

 

It's only 4 bolts. You would be able to take it out or put it back in 30 min with a ratchet.

I am getting rid of it because of this!

 

Nice!!! I remember you saying that this was in your plans. I'll let you know shortly about the carrier.

 

I am looking for a stock rear bumper. Let me know!
