Jesus, I take a week off from the site and the whole thing gets hijacked by some guy who probably doesn't even own a truck! WTF....
I have had my computer remembering my password for so long I couldn't remember it myself, so I reregistered from starranger to mudranger.
When last I posted, the 5.0 project was complete, and I was on my second AOD tranny. I had to get a new TV cable, which came from Lokar with really good instructions on how to set it. I borrowed a pressure gauge and did the install, and with a few minor adjustments, everything is good to go.
The cable was not cheap, at around $60. shipped, but it was a really nice stainless steel braided unit, and works perfect.
I decided that the throttle cable was way too long, and was binding, making the gas pedal feel more like a clutch pedal, so I ordered a Lokar throttle cable thats much shorter and can be cut to fit.
Other than that, the truck is great- lotsa power, rolls down the highway nicely, and with the bigger engine, better gears and the locker, It climbed right out of a ditch that would have stuck it for sure with the 373's and the 4-banger....
