Oh boy... Don't get me started! :lol: I really, really wanted to like my 2nd Gen, and I really, really tried! But, alas, I just did not care for that truck.

You must of had an auto not a 6spd :poke:

Now we know how you learned all about these transmissions

I get it some people just don't like the Dodge 2nd Gen Bodies. :wink:

Back in late 90s I was at car action with the guy I worked for and he got one of these 2nd gens extended cab with cummins 4x4 for a customer he took with him to the action that day. I remember the guy was all excited because they got a really good deal on it. I remember being impressed with it, had 4 in body lift from factory and just looked and sounded cool. I told myself one day I'll have one of them. Then I forgot all about it, over a decade went by then I started looking for a diesel pickup, after I couldn't find any decent 7.3 I came across what I have now. Who would have known.

I consider Un-Americans and "not an American" to not be synonymous. Many Uns are, in fact, Americans.

I get it , it's not so much being born in usa it's the mind set. I've met a lot of people that weren't born in USA that are more American than some Americans that we're born here.

Im glad everyone is patriotic on here, sucks we don't have a lot of that anymore anywhere else

 

 

Probably to save me time and preventing myself from foxtroting the valve body, im probably gonna play it safe and look at getting one of @Dynamic built. And swap out the few other listed parts that @LorenS suggested that ain't included on the new valve body. Still working on getting the parts together for the TC override setup, now is a good time to install a real trans temp gauge (more physical than the quadzilla app). In fighting myself on where i'd lime to mount one sense my pillar is full and im not too crazy about mounting it right in front of the main cluster (personal problems).

It was loud, not all that comfortable to drive long distances, and I was ALWAYS fighting EGTs...I'm not sure a 6 speed would have helped much with any of that! :lol: It did have fairly decent power, though. But I much prefer the truck I currently drive in that regard as well. Just my opinion, though...

 

I never did build a complete transmission for that truck. I never needed to or, obviously, I would have. But I did use it to develop the valve body packages (especially the pressure control and shift calibrations) that I use now. I bet I had the valve body out of that truck 100 times...

I'm just messing with you anyway, I'm sure you know that too.
