Guys, sorry to revive an old thread, but I had a quick question before I get too far into re-assembly. My replacement 2nd design timing cover has a huge chamfer compared with the images I see of the OEM. There is a chance that the inner tube diameter was just smaller, which exaggerates the...

I threw it in 3rd gear when there were either a lot of short but frequent or long inclines, whenever the truck felt a bit bogged down. It never once wandered between 3rd & 4th a lot. 99% of the time it was in D though. It would either shift to 3rd while going up an incline, or stay locked...
