Thanks for the info everyone. Just to make it clear, I was referring to the actual gear shift going from park to drive being stiff on cold mornings. The truck goes right into gear with no problem. The tranny fluid seems alright, but seeing how I've had the truck for 3 years, I definetley need to flush it out and put new fluid in. Do you guys recommend the factory stuff or go synthetic.

Another interesting thing happend with the cold. I took the T up to Mammoth Lakes here in California. We recieved around a foot of snow over the night. I had been having trouble with a sticking rear brake on cold mornings... but you add in icy conditions and anti skid and any time I even pressed on the brake pedal the rear tire would lock up and send me sliding sideways. Not the best way to get around town. I took the brake drums apart, cleaned everything and put on new pads. For some reason I had a bunch of goo on the left rear pads that was causing the sticking. It didn't appear that anything was leaking from the manifolds or the axle, but only time will tell.

Yesterday I took the T up to a place near where I live called Robber's Roost. Nothing too challenging, but it's always good to get some dust on the tires.

Thanks again,

Vern
