52Carl: I appreciate your comments, and granted, my modification is a compromise and not as preferable as the original design, but it has held up for the past 5 years and 5000 miles (I baby my truck). Plus, as you can imagine, removing the transmission is fairly easy (I switched out the 400 Turbo I originally installed in favor of a 4L60). If and when my arrangement fails, I guess I’ll consider further modifications. I just wanted to give Rocketman some ideas. What did you do? Regards, Dave
