Ray, how is the cooling repair going? Figure any of that out yet? We leave AZ in 11 days and head to the con.

Have been working like a dog at work since I was out for the first week in August. Am working on it all through the weekend. Good news is it did shift into OD the other day but just once, so my theory is when it ran low on transmission fluid, it probably overheated killing the existing fluid which has thus prevented it from shifting into OD.

My plan is to flush out the old fluid and put in all new fluid and also do a full cooling system flush this weekend then see how she runs. If she still does not run right, then I'll swap in a temp sensor/sender. If that doesn't work... then I don't know. Will probably need to look at repairing/replacing the transmission <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/confused.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" /> <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" /> and if that's required then unfortunately, I'm out this year. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/angry.gif" alt="" />
