Installed the new replacement driver's seat cushion from Geno's garage. Pretty easy job overall. Nice fit and very firm. I sit higher in the truck now. That is going to take getting used to. Up next is the cabin air filter set up. I want to scuff and squirt the housings first.

Finally got around to replacing the governor pressure transducer and the governor solenoid with the heavy duty units, also replaced the filter and the trans pan with a mag-hytec unit. Much better shifts and the pan has to be good for another 10 hp.

Does it have a drain plug as well? (good for another 5 horsepower.)

Driver-side window dropped at the front when going down last week...
So today I replaced the the mechanism, and replaced the door lock actuator while I was in there (the electric locks haven't worked for a few years).
I'll do the passenger-side in a month or so, as the door lock on that side hasn't worked for even longer than the drivers-side, and I'm sure the window regulator can't be far behind, as it's had more use than my side got.

I have a latch that is behaving strangely...... Mounted to the door, it won't latch. Doesn't matter what I do. Take it out, and it works just fine. Even with all the linkages disconnected, when it is bolted to the door, it simply will not latch, and hold the door close. I am stumped.

Couldn't get an OEM, so had to settle for Dorman.
Suposidly they're repairable, so I kept the old one to tinker with.

look for what might be distorting it, or a place to shim to take pressure off the mechanism when tightened.

Door frame is actually still intact, surprisingly enough. I may try and loosen the bolts a quarter turn each, and see if that doesn't improve its attitude.
