MountainMan, When you say the pinion are you speaking about the ring and pinion final drive gears in the rear or the intermediate support bearing in the drive shaft? I am a little confused.

Analog gauges
Where would be a good place to start to get some analog oil temp & volts gages at a reasonable price?
Sort of like those on British cars.
It is a DIY if you can use a ratchet wrench and socket, pliers, screw drivers & other simple tools and crawl under your truck. EZ PEAZY Suck the tranny fluid out first.

Keep your eye on it.

2. Obtained a little fuel pump, a "brrrrrp" type" shown here below.
+ 1/4" i.d. PVC tubing was used. ~72 "+/- long and ran one end into the trans.
+ The pump had enough...
Greetings everyone.
What would be good temp sensors for the tranny and the engine oil?
Also, any good way to skip 2nd, 4th, and 6th gear on the up shift?
Thanks,

Hurricayne,
Try a wee bit of RTV on both sides of the gasket..thin, not too much that it oozes into the pan. You should be able to use the existing gasket unless it is all bent out of shape or torn,

Woodworker,
This is Good stuff!!! a great tickler check list. with only 33800 miles, I'm not there yet , but working on it.
I did do a swap on the tranny fluid . I'll do another at 65000 mi. and considering a switch from using LV fluid toULV .
Next oil change switch oil to 10W-30 or maybe...
