Attention: TDR Forum Junkies Well, I gotta make my first post sometime. . so here it goes. I've had my 97 CTD for about a month now and I love it... except for the weenee shifting transmission. Anyway, I have adjusted the valves, serviced all compartments with Shaeffers syn. lubes, BHAF, 4in. pro flow exhaust, KDP fix, Isspro boost,pyro,trans.
I have owned Gm diesels my whole life from 6. 2's, 6. 5's and the d-max. So I am familiar with diesels and do my ALL my own work.
I am debating wether or not to grind or move my plate. I will be using the truck primarily for towing. I think I have talked myself outa doing this. I dont want a tempermental rig. She runs pretty darn good as-is. I am hitting 28 psi boost and EGT's are allowable.
So, I would like to turn my attention towards the transmission. I need to know how to remove the check ball in the cooler line... or is it recommended? Second, will a shift kit take care of my sluggish shifts? The transmission is a recent unknown stock rebuild. I know I really need a TQ and VB... but I am on a really tight budget. Anyway, Ive rambled enough... so hello to all and thanks for the replys in advance.
