Default I'm still kicking and still have the Ram

This may be more of a and off topic suited thread but since I used to live in the 2nd gen section I figured I'd post here. Truck has been sitting a long time as you can tell by the pics. Brake lines blew on me a few years back and it sat due to time and money restraints. Then we decided to move to Tennessee so I fixed that quick and then had a trans line blow. Fixed that then drove it about 530 miles south. Got here and the TCC solenoid was throwing the CEL so I replaced that maybe 2 winters ago. Then it stopped shifting so I parked it again. Wife's car was totalled last month so we need the truck running. Replaced the governor pressure sensor and transducer over the weekend . Shifts now but erratic at times. Hopefully it straightens out after some driving and I don't have to replace the trans just yet.

Anyway just wanted to say hey to those who remember me. I'll probably be posting a little more getting this thing back in shape

Happy to see you back.

Did you get the right year parts for the trans? There were some changes over the years, and that can really throw a monkey wrench into the works.

I believe so. I had asked the guy I ordered stuff from if it would work correctly. He said it would but I ended up with a metal transducer which won't work for ours apparently. He exchanged it out for the plastic one.

Hey, Beastie, glad to hear from you.

I still wonder whatever happened to Silver_Dodge. He had a cherry truck.
