anybody miss their 12 valves

Love my bombed 97 12V! You can't beat the simplicity of mechanical injection. Great milage to boot.



12 VALVES RULE!

just wondering.....

Since I have TWO twelve valvers, does that make me a 24valve owner

Chace, looks like I have a practically neighbor on the boards! Be sure and check out "Local and Regional Events" forum, got a Tx. Rally coming up.....

Gotta love the On/Off switch that the 24vs can use on the boxes.

No. My new 24v is quieter in the cab, faster than the '95 auto and '98 5spd 12v I previously owned, and electronics don't scare me anymore. I don't buy the cheapest fuel I can find, I actually look for premium diesel for the additive package, and I don't let it get below 1/4 tank before I fill up. No different than I treated my two 12v trucks. That and the 24v looks better, is easier to get to the fuel filter, doesn't require frequent valve adjustments, and my 01 came with rear discs and mags to boot! Not to mention the way the new auto is set up. Shifts are firm, it keeps the rpm up until you let off the throttle to shift to O/D (I understand some folks actually cried about this and now there's a TSB on it), it locks up the TC in 3rd even with O/D enabled, and it already has a pan deep enough to bathe a fat bottomed girl in!

Locking up the TCC in 3rd gear while having OD on is nothing short of REALLY ANNOYING!! The TCC should only engage in 3rd with OD locked out and AFTER OD engages with OD on.

My 47RH (stock parts rebuilt) shifts so much better than the Y2K ISB-47RE (stock) I have about 10k miles logged on.....

Want good shifts and strength? Talk to Bill Kondolay at his shop, every truck I have driven with DTT parts in it has shifted the way an automatic should. 'Nuff said.
