May want to clarify that you rebuilt the trans, rather than just modding it a bit.

Just got done replacing the worthless fabtech adjustable track bar. I had to put the stock one on and so far no issues with my 5inches of lift. However im definitely eating the tires up until I decide on another trackbar.

Got my oil pan cleaned out, pickup cleaned out, and everything put back together. New filter, five quarts of oil, fired up, and pressure came up almost immediately. Still 60PSI at idle cold, bit over 40 fully warmed. And of course, since I wanted to try and troubleshoot my misfire issues..... it ran perfect. PCM is still in the process of learning though, so, begin to wonder if I don't have an electrical issue somewhere with a sensor.

See what happens I suppose. Just nice to have my truck back.

Van (Chevy Astro AWD) is down for the count until the new wheel bearing comes in. It sounds horrid, pulls, and makes really rude noises over bumps. No more driving till new bearing installed. Which won't be here for a week.... But, we have two out of three vehicles, so not much of a worry, as I got tired of the corporate bull feces at staples...... had an interesting 'discussion' with the general manager about things getting done.... and even though he recognizes we have a problem, he is still standing by the corporate line, and demanding things that way. (lack of hours, lack of employees, too much work, not everything gets done.) He told me, "this is the way it is going to be." I told him. "Not for me." Handed him my ID tag, and left.

Bad idea. But sometimes you gotta sell stuff and I get that. Good luck.

They must train at the same place as Wal-Mart Managers!
