Good afternoon Caleb!

 

Evening/Night guys...day started really great...was able to get a lot done on the truck, but not what I set out to do! Was going to drop the transmission pan and swap the linkage around due to not being able to shift the transmission from inside the cab (thread in the Transmission Forum)...ended up replacing solenoid, battery cables, "electrical box" (can't remember the name for it), cleaned up all the wiring in the engine compartment. Jumped in to move the truck into the carport/garage to work on the trans pan in the shade, can not get the transmission to engage (move while in gear)...Frustrating!!! But the day ended really good, enjoyed a night with the wife at Waffle House! Waffle and Hash-browns ALL THE WAY! Looking forward to tomorrow! Have a great night!

 

Good Morning AL......


TGIF

 

Morning Steve! Hope you have a great weekend!

 

Good morning Caleb, Steve, and the Alabama crew, happy Friday! Caleb, other than the tranny, sounds like your making progress on the truck.

 

Morning Pat, very frustrating, the whole transmission issue, went out this morning with prayers it would have fixed itself, had very high hope especially when I started it up, and put it into gear, and it "jumped" forward about an inch. Is it possible that there may be air in the lines? I am just trying to figure something out...UGH!

 

I'm not very mechanically inclined and the internals of the transmissions are greek to me! The closest I ever came to figuring out why it was difficult to shift was when the bolts under the steering column came loose!

 

Morning Alabama, Caleb, Steve and Pat. I hope y'all have a great weekend. UI at least get Sunday off this week.

 

It could affect it, and that might mean your tranny fluid is low, which would be an easy fix. Like Steve, I don't know a whole lot about auto trannys, just mainly manuals.

 

Checked the fluid...it was good, thought about that as well...

 

Morning Steve, welcome to trans tech....lol

 

Morning Steve! Caleb, wish I could be more help. Do those have a filter in them??

 

I think I know less about transmissions that you two know. I have changed out a couple but they worked so I really didn't learn a lot.

 

They do...I have a new gasket and filter to change out, was planning on doing that when I swapped the linkage around...guess I could go ahead with the swap and change the filter. And sorry for the thread High Jack...just really want my truck back on the road!

 

Hey, it's a truck forum! Hopefully that helps. I guess the filter would have to be pretty clooged, but we can only hope!
