Bob,
I do realize that 2nd gen trucks refer to all '94-'02 trucks, but my "2nd Gen" comment was meant to differentiate between 2nd Gen and 3rd Gen High Output trucks, and the transmissions they use. As stated in my post above. The remarks in question were in reference to the "Early Six Speeds are H. O. 's" comments. The "Early" trucks I was referring to are the "early" '01 vs. later '01. 5 trucks referred to in the posts, not the "early" '99-'00 2nd Gen trucks (or '94-'02 if you want to be technical).
