Thanks for the heads up. My torque wrench just isnt sensitive enough for that minute of a reading. but i did just use my small ratchet and went with the feel.

AS for the injectors and stuff, I'll dive in when that presents a problem. Currently the truck is running pretty damn good. but I'll certainly look into those when needed.

as for the ATF there seems to be no "right" brand or kind. some say synthetic, others say dextron2 and up. other say D SPII or else your tranny is dead. I think I'll take my chances here with... <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/butwiggle.gif" alt="" />

but once again thanks for all the input and help. Much appreciated and hope I can pay it forward at some point.
