You can reuse the rod but you have to hook it up to the carb so it works correctly or
you will "fry" the AOD very quickly. If you don't know anything about it you had better
take it to someone who does. And don't drive the truck until it is properly setup. Tow
it to a shop if you have to.

Very much agreed. You can do serious damage to an AOD transmission in very short order if that linkage isn't adjusted properly.
