Morning out there in truck land....yesterdays swap meet was a success, I moved a couple of old mustang parts and made a dollar or two. It was nice and cool under the trees and was back at home by one.

Afternoon all, Johnny I'm not going, I've heard of the event but I've never attended.
Been to cruising the coast, have you been to that? You need to go a least once and enjoy the traffic jams.

Next I would make sure the fluid is at proper operating level. If those pan out you prolly fried the tranny

Mark:
Try draining off some till you get the correct level. Fluid could be foamed up & not pumping right.

Afternoon to all, been a while since I have been back on the forum been a busy summer already and haven't even got started. Changed the brakes on the SD last wknd..... Wow fun fun fun.... It was not bad except for leaving the E-Brake applied and trying to take the rear rotors off
This doesnt work very well.. But once I figured out what I had done it was a piece of cake. Went ahead and changed both rotors and brakes front and rear and man what a difference......
Hope all are having a good and safe summer so far
